I am fairly conservative in all realms of my life (sports, politics, religion, finance, etc), and though I don't generally prefer CCM music, I don't hold to hyper-seperatistic or overly militant objections to any specific genre of music (opera and rap excluded ). I happened on to the song that I just linked to in the "What are you listening to right now" thread and realized that though it is theologically sound that those (Hillsong) associated with it have plenty of baggage (sex scandals, apostatsy, pentecostal leaning, prosperity associations, etc) and it bothered me a little that I liked the song. Not long ago on the FFF this sort of thing was lightly bantered about regarding Ray Boltz and some of his "decent" songs. I feel the same way now when I hear anything spoken by Ravi Zacharias. He spoke boatloads of truth and I greatly admired his ministry, but his legacy is tainted, and it grieves me a little to have even minor associations with his teachings. How do you deal with these sorts of issues in your personal worship and feelings towards those that have (vastly) differing or stained testimony?
