God!—Part 2

God!—Part 2   

         Early in the Genesis record God communed with his human creation.  He communicated with both man (Adam) and woman (Eve).  God communicated with his human creation not because He had to walk and talk with them in the garden, but because He desired to have fellowship with them.  It seems to me that they did not even slightly realize the significance or importance of this divine-human connection established by God himself.  In the garden god could have sent one of His angles to communicate God’s message to them.
         I believe that God’s establishment of divine-human communion is of great import to our worship of the Trinity.  Elohim, God in plurality, desired and desires to communicate with both men and women in this life.  Worship communication, both public and private, corporate and individual, is a God thing.  Although we marvel that Adam and Eve transgressed and broke off that wonderful communication of the Garden of Eden, many people repeat history and transgress Gods law and precepts and therefore break off that wonderful communion between god and mankind.
         Many Christians who remain mute when the body of Christ is musicing, are refusing to commune with God.  Although these Christians do not mean there silence as a form of rebellion against a God established communion, their silence is without a refusal to commune with God.  Since the Bible is fraught with references to the necessity of communing with god through music, it is the responsibility of every music minister to catechize the congregation on the significance and importance of musicing together unto God.
