I don't have to ask him what he meant. He SAID what he meant. Clearly.
Should you pray for inspiration? Yes.
Should you stop seeking knowledge about your craft and await inspiration? NO.
This is the equivalent of praying for a house and not saving your money, or praying for a car without getting a license.
What Mr. Simmons did was criticize those who listen to jazz music. Listen to the way he said it.
"Instead of getting chords in the spirit, they're listening to jaaaazz."
As if something is wrong with that. As if it's a sin.
I'm glad I'm not the only one that heard Supt. Simmons say that. Listen to around 3:47 in the clip. That part really concerned me. The way our MOM at my church plays, you can tell there's a lot of jazz influence...not to the point of distraction lol but very classy and he's very in tune with what's going on in the service.
Since he's a member of lgm, I kinda asked for his opinion on this. Not that he'll post

but just to see what he thinks about it (he's also a pastor and anointed musician).
So, seeing as I'm not a musician, I'll exit stage right..........

BTW, Incog, your sigs and avatars are too hilarious!!
