I still think it's okay to acknowledge great music, but I get where they're coming from. And because of it, I feel all frozen and stiff when our worship leader tries to make us clap in the contemporary service. I'm more of a Spirit-led clapper, and the Spirit hasn't led me that direction for a while.

When I try, people tell me it's all gibberish even though I think it's all fine. Perhaps I could be confused for someone really holy speaking in tongues?
