Bible Question: I attend a church that does not use musical instruments. We have praise and worship..but no organs or instruments. Can someone explain this to me? |
Bible Answer: Does your church have a ban on instruments? Have you asked them why they do not use instruments? The only "churches" that I know that do not use instruments of any kind in their worship services are those who cannot afford to, and the Mennonites, Amish and certain Brethren churches. I was told (by members of...) that they don't use them because they believe God wants to hear their voices raised to Him rather than instruments. I've never checked to see if that is doctrinal for those religions though. It may only be a preference. I have also "heard" that some don't use instruments or sing any "new" praise and worship songs for fear that the music would veer off from what they believe is the only godly music -- hymns. But I don't know if that is a fact either. Scripturally though, it would seem that God enjoys praise and worship to Him musically either way. David being one example of both singing and the use of instruments. |
