Bible Question:
Should the church allow non-Christians be part of the worship ensemble, praise band ... the group that is up front during the music time? Explain your answer. I saw this on another forum and am wondering what you think. |
Bible Answer: If entertainment is what the people want.. what difference could it make? Hymns and spiritual songs that are sciptually based and that the congregation sings together, seem to be the biblical model. Col 3:16 Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you, with all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God. Eph 5:19 speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord; Part of problem with our worship is that all too often we find ourselves praising and glorifying the Choir, Band, saxophonist, singer, preacher etc. Has God shown us in His Word what He considers to be pleasing in worship? Does it displease Him when we ignore His prescription in favor of what pleases us? Gen 4:5 but for Cain and for his offering He had no regard. God Help Us, John |
