What is Praise And Worship For?

Yeah, there’s hip hop praise out there. I think Hosanna had some CDs like Urban Praise and Praise In The House, something like that. And there are some other more obscure things out there.

I’ll be honest, I don’t think I really understand what praise and worship is for. Like, why does it need to musically reach out to the younger generation? Is it supposed to be for evangelism? Maybe it is, I don’t know. We all agree it’s supposed to be God focused, declaring His worth and all that. But what does that mean, musically? What are the implications? Honestly, no clue. I just know for myself, I like listening to certain types of music, but not all of them would make me feel worshipful. So like Ska praise or Swing praise or Techno praise doesn’t do it for me. I don’t even understand why we need to have these things because I’m not sure what praise and worship is exactly for.
