Keith Getty of the modern hymn duo Keith & Kristen Getty recently warned that contemporary worship music lacks a "deep sense of understanding of God" and can lead to Christians making a "God of our own image."
Keith Getty of the Irish-born Christian duo Keith & Kristyn Getty is stressing the importance of biblically sound hymns in equipping the next generation of believers.
Hymn writers Keith and Kristyn Getty asserted that Christians must recognize the compatibility between God and science amid an atheistic culture that says no such relationship exists.
“The most common command in the Scriptures is to sing. And all the derivatives of singing — to praise, to extol,” he said. “It’s more than what happens for 25 minutes on Sunday.”
In the past, he said, Christians would sing all day long — by themselves and with their families. And then they’d gather once a week to sing together.
Getty hopes singing will become part of what he called “a healthy, holistic Christian life.”
