Vineyard Music vs. Jewish Prayer
A lot of Vineyard songs are directly from the Scriptures. Their worship songs really helped me get to know Jesus more. You automatically know the scriptures in your heart just by singing ! 
I was away from their music for awhile because I listened to it too many times, over and over, and my ear wanted something else for awhile. I try not to do that to the Messianic music I am listening to, but it is hard to put it down when I like it so much. I want those worship music to be fresh. I want to be reminded that the music is a means, and not the purpose, just like the scriptures point to Jesus. Direct access to God through Jesus. I would like to say, "What Would You Do, Jesus?", instead of "What Would Jesus Do?". ( I have nothing against WWJD.) The worship leaders are soooo talented and wonderful, but they are anointed to usher us to the place where we worship our LORD, and they are not to be followed. But to tell the truth, I miss the experiences I encountered in those days...
I went to their worship conference in LA once. It was more than ten years ago and I remember that it was such a powerful conference! Powerful because of the humble hearts the musicians and the speakers demonstrated and they led us into the places where we've never been - the sweet place close to Jesus. The teachings were wonderful, too.
A lot of songs from the Jewish prayer books are directly from the Scriptures. What is the difference between Vineyard music and the Jewish music (from their prayer book)? The tunes are different. If I could figure out how to post a part of the Vineyard music and the Jewish songs from the prayer book, I would post them someday. Both are directly from the Bible, the tunes are different, and both can be just 'music' without God, depending on our hearts' condition. I think Hymns can be the same way, too. ....Ooops, I am starting to analyze again....May my heart be open to worship you, Jesus, through different songs and styles.
