Well, after being tagged by Roger Mugs, at Mugs Cafe, I accepted the challenge like a man.

You have my sympathy. But I also find hokey churches to be quite comforting. It feels good to be surrounded by so many unhip people that love the Lord in their own goofy way.

Matt Redman is the best thing to hit Christian music since Cliff Richards. (ducks and runs…)

Peter, Redman is actually my husband’s family name (I spent far too long suffering the poor attempts at humour generated by my family-of-origin name “Single” to feel the need to keep it when I married). It is, of course, possible that there’s some relationship, but none that I know of. Robin Mann is not like Hillsong. He give no impression that Jesus might be his boyfriend, for a start.

And David, I met “Bananas for the Lord” in a contemporary evening service where it was sung about every second week, despite the total absence of anyone under about 15.

Judy, are you any relation to Matt? I guess not. Others have commented on your namesake’s allegedly weird lyrics, but I have restricted my criticism to the one songwriter I know of who is unquestionably greater than Matt.

Of course we know lots of Australian worship songs here in the Northern Hemisphere, but most of them are from Hillsong, written for example by Darlene Z…, who squeezes the weirdness in her songs into her surname in the byline.

What’s so weird about that?
Children are at such an impressionable age so it’s important to give the theologically sound stuff like that!
