I know the choir of which you speak, and this brings up a very important issue for me.

I love their music, but I can't stand to see them in person for the very reason you mention. I've met their 
director and have listened to him teach about music and preach the Word, and I must say, he was anointed in 
both instances. The music his choir sings is either written by him or his close friends, and it comes from the 
heart. He gets teary-eyed just talking about music and how Jesus is in it!

So the issue is, after meeting and discovering that the man who leads the choir has beliefs consistant with 
what my pastor preaches about music (and what I believe about it), then seeing that same choir in person, which 
exhibits itself in ways NOT agreeable to my pastor (nor me), what do I do? Do I not listen to it because of how 
the choir performs it? Or do I ignore that and just focus on the blessing of the music I hear on my stereo?

How many of us have heard good preaching from those who do not have the whole truth?

Just some thoughts,
