JIMB
JIMB: “Jesus Is My Boyfriend” a genre of church “worship” music in which worshippers are frequently expected to be “in love” with Jesus, to want to touch him and feel his presence. It’s akin to the sentiments of a slow song at a junior high dance in the gymnasium.
I’ve written about it a lot. Perhaps I deserve to be smacked. But something is wrong here and so here are some of my posts ranting, raving and just plain thinking about how and why we worship God, especially through congregational music.
Bon Jovi gets it. And we don’t.: Why Rock music is closer to the heart of Psalms than the mamby-pamby stuff we sing on Sunday.
Pudding Worship: Why the international crowd around the throne of God might have trouble agreeing on what songs to sing.
May the ghost of John Newton haunt your dreams: Don’t ever rip off Amazing Grace again. Please. I beg you!
Are you in love with Jesus?: Is it possible to be “in love” with Jesus?

Spirituality and Sensuality: This post is scary.
Common prayer is far too uncommon: I reveal my high church yearnings.
