New poll: Can secular songs be used in worship effectively?
Our last poll finished with a whopping 100% saying yes solos are a good thing. I started it off easy, that was a bunny slope poll question. This one is a bit tougher. In this question when I say secular I mean songs obviously not written for corporate worship, not written to glorify God, the writers intention and heart may even be antithetical to the will and heart of God. Can those songs be redeemed, and used in worship to glorify God?
I don’t want to skew the results by giving my opinion at this point so I’ll wait until after the poll is done. The poll can be found in the sidebar or below.

I don’t like your 3 choices. I think it may be possible (and here comes the “but”), but I have never seen it nor heard of it being done successfully. The lack of success in this leaves me questioning why even try when there are so many songs written to glorify God. This week we definitely need to work “I believe I can fly” into the worship set.
I’ve added a “Why try” answer just for you.
