I really didn't know what title to give this thread, so i ended up with this.

Now, we all know that music is one of the ways that people praise, thank and worship God and for a lot of Christians, they feel some gospel songs evoke some level of spirituality. Which means that the songs are filled with rhema (like Christ Embassy people call it) or anointing. I've listened to a lot of these songs and i felt that they evoked some emotions in the way they sound. Meaning, anybody irrespective of religion, will feel some kind of way towards the song.

Take a look at this song for example

It's a song that can make a lot of people cry as seen in the video but is the emotions restricted only to people of the Christian faith? Is it similar to the way a 90s or early 20s RnB music will make you feel?

Another area that i want to talk about is when people say a particular pastor is ? (Can't remember the word) but i think a lot of times what they mean is that the pastor has a good command of English, a good accent and probably a motivational speaker. I've never seen a pastor with a thick Igbo accent being called that.

Bump

It is 100% emotional. If you read this book; The Art of Public Speaking by Dale Carnagey, you'll discover the principles pastors apply to their message delivery. Same applies to music. A song with an emotional melody and lyrics will have the same effect be it gospel or contemporary.

Good input.

That's why I love hymns. Most hymns are inspirational from the scriptures

They are emotional.

Emotional. Another reason you can't catch me in a "church"

But you're a Christian I guess?

Religion, generally, appeals to emotion and ignorance but disguises it as "spiritual"

Yes I'm. And it's not because I heard one emotional watery gospel. I started with the Spirit, will finish with the same Spirit
