worship right
I want to make a comment on the worship wars in the church and then let Macs because I trust him. First of all I think the music sttyle is not a issue for me. If you sing hymns of dance before the Lord that is not to me a issue in church. If you wish to have a organ or drums is not the issue in church the issue Here are the things you need to think about. C CM and hymns mixed is where I think we ought to go. In some circles they think ccm is wrong and that to me is wreong because this is not right. We are in a place where some chruches sing with rock bands. I do not agree that the words cannot make music good. I know of a thousand types of style in the kingdom. Good music is good teaching. If the words do not match the right teaching of the bible the music is junk,
We can praise Jesus inchurch with any insturment. All the strings and drums and trumpets are to be used to bless the Lord. In Psalms we read
Ps 150 1 Praise the Lord!
Praise God in His sanctuary;
Praise Him in His mighty firmament!
2 Praise Him for His mighty acts;
Praise Him according to His excellent greatness!
3 Praise Him with the sound of the trumpet;
Praise Him with the lute and harp!
4 Praise Him with the timbrel and dance;
Praise Him with stringed instruments and flutes!
5 Praise Him with loud cymbals;
Praise Him with clashing cymbals!1
In that wrold all the types of music can be used It is also important to sing things your meaning to do, do not sing if the heart is not going to do what the song said. More importantly is you better be right with Jesus and your brother before you go to church. If you have stuff to get right with others forget church and go make it right before you go to church. Also the worship is for the saved not for the folks that do not know Jesus. If you are not saved your in a place really dangerous. If you hear about Jesus and then keep rejecting him your hell will be far worst. If your saved and do not worship right God can kill you.
Acts 5 But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession. 2 And he kept back part of the proceeds, his wife also being aware of it, and brought a certain part and laid it at the apostles’ feet. 3 But Peter said, “Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and keep back part of the price of the land for yourself? 4 While it remained, was it not your own? And after it was sold, was it not in your own control? Why have you conceived this thing in your heart? You have not lied to men but to God.”
5 Then Ananias, hearing these words, fell down and breathed his last. So great fear came upon all those who heard these things. 6 And the young men arose and wrapped him up, carried him out, and buried him.
7 Now it was about three hours later when his wife came in, not knowing what had happened. 8 And Peter answered her, “Tell me whether you sold the land for so much?”
She said, “Yes, for so much.”
9 Then Peter said to her, “How is it that you have agreed together to test the Spirit of the Lord? Look, the feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out.” 10 Then immediately she fell down at his feet and breathed her last. And the young men came in and found her dead, and carrying her out, buried her by her husband. 11 So great fear came upon all the church and upon all who heard these things.2
God took the life of folks that did not worship or give right. It is serious to go to church.Back to the point we in the church do not entertain the unsaved. If we preach a message you do not like and sing things you do not prefer we are there to worship Jesus and not tickle your ears. If you go to a church and do not like the church we are not there for you we worship Jesus. Its like the gay man that died in the war and wanted to go to a chuch for the burial and the pastor said no he is not saved in Jesus the church had the right because the church is for the saved not sinners.
