The Bible commands Christians to sing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, but the music in many evangelical churches today is often shallow and repetitive, focusing on emotional experiences rather than sound doctrine. The influence of rock and roll music, with its emphasis on rebellion and immorality, has led to a form of worship that is more focused on entertainment than on glorifying God. Historically, the church has been a singing church, with congregational singing being a key part of worship. However, the emphasis on Christian contemporary music and Christian rock has led to a decline in the use of traditional hymns and psalms, and a focus on music that is more focused on emotional experience than on sound doctrine.
