But I am ooohhhh so teachable.
You make a good argument on guitars and drums etc...
My question is how do you only sing Psalms which never actually name the name of Christ? I know they point to him in type and shadow, I know the Psalms was God's songbook, but to disallow other songs, hymns or spiritual songs that actually name the name of Christ seems strange to me. Thoughts?
Howdy, Mr. Browning. I hate to be a copy and past kind of guy, but so as to not sidetrack this thread too much, and to not divulge my obscene ignorance abroad, allow me to refer you to this thread: Is the name of Jesus important in worship?

Blessings, Sir. And welcome again.
