I had a couple friends take issue the comment he made about not singing songs that dwelt on the self. Well-meaning brothers bent over backwards defending personal experience and subjectivism, attempting to use the psalms to bolster their argument. I pointed out that even the most personal psalms had God at the center, not self.

Unfortunately, most of the contemporary songs are all about emotionalism and self.
