I know the previous church I attended donated a generous amount from it's budget to help the poor and needy in the local community.  I always accepted this as the norm for most Christian churches.

It would be interesting if we could listen to the religious music of ancient Israel or the early church. I bet it would sound neither like traditional hyms or CCM. It appears IFBs are bent on defending a musical style and church culture that is very specific to the American Church of the 1950s...
