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: searcher- This can be subject to change, but right now, I would say no. I feel that to be in a praise band you should be setting an atmosphere of worship, of desiring the Lord's presence, of bringing the people to that hunger level. You also should be in tune with where the Lord wants His people to be led. I don't believe this just applies to the leader, but to all of the band. If there is a person who does not believe, how can he desire these things? This does not mean that the Lord won't move if there is a non-believer in the band, but I believe, if all are gathered in His Name, are worshipping together with the same objective, He can move more freely (?). It is not a matter of exclusivity, but of desiring for the best. Debbie |
