Be careful then how you live, not as unwise people but as wise, making the most of the time, because the days are evil. So do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is. Do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery; but be filled with the Spirit, as you sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs among yourselves, singing and making melody to the Lord in your hearts, giving thanks to God the Father at all times and for everything in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Be subject to one another out of reverence for Christ.

Ephesians 5:15-21

We are all entitled to our own preferences, and we must hold firmly to our biblical convictions. But before we voice our fault-finding opinions, seriously try to understand the viewpoint of God.

Whatever the style of worship, as we express to God our praise for who He is and all He has done, we lift Him up and encourage others. That is what God loves for us to do.

At the heart of worship is worship from the heart.
