Modern praise choruses do have a place in our worship services, but that place could be likened to the place of dessert at a meal. Dessert must not be the main feature of our daily diet or we will suffer grave consequences. To us, a few praise choruses go a long way. To make them the mainstay of a church’s musical diet is to fatten the church on sweets when it needs a substantial helping of healthy food.
