Pastor Aldo Leon answers Audience questions in our series, "KP Responds." A listener raises a question about the avoidance of Psalms in modern Christian worship. Pastor Aldo reflects on the offensive nature of traditional practices to modern sensibilities, such as acapella singing and the use of instruments in worship. They suggest that a domesticated, scholastic, seeker-friendly version of Reformed tradition has emerged, which avoids confrontation and does not disrupt societal complacency with the glory of God. Pastor Aldo questions whether there is a desire to see the kind of societal upheaval that accompanied historical revivals, implying a softness in contemporary practice that shies away from the more challenging aspects of Christian tradition and liturgy.
