The Fourth of July weekend is about to begin. This holiday weekend often raises questions in the mind of music ministers -- should we acknowledge this national holiday in our service? How should we go about it? Should we sing patriotic songs?
What's the balance between recognizing a holiday commemorating our nation's independence, yet at the same time, staying focused on singing praise to Christ?
Does you sing patriotic songs in church -- especially on the Fourth of July weekend? If you're a music minister, how do you achieve the balance between singing patriotic tunes and worship songs? Do you think it's okay to integrate patriotic songs into a worship service?

No. Patriotic songs have no business in congregational gatherings that exist for the purpose of worshiping G-D.
