Those who plan Christian musical worship
around “seekers” who are not saved may be having a religious musical event, but
they are not musicing unto God in spirit and truth. Musical Christian worship that is real is a response
to God. We confess who He is and what He has already done. We do the responding;
we do the worshiping; we do the praising, and we do the extolling of His
wonderful name. We bow our heads and hearts before Him. We prostrate ourselves
before Him. We raise our hands in avowel to God in the sanctuary. If we do not
know Christ, all our musical clap-trap is just an event. It is by no means
Christian worship.
Also, we need to remember that God doesn’t
have to do anything for us when we music unto His name. He has already done His
part. He has fulfilled His commitment to us. He left the portals of glory, He was
born of a virgin and suffered without the gate that He might sanctify His own
people by His own blood. He suffered in the garden of Gethsemane; He suffered
and died on the cross for our sins, arose and ascended into Heaven where He is
seated at the right hand of God. When we music unto God, we need to get rid of
the self-centered ideas like bless me, tickle me, please me, cheer me, and
entertain me and concentrate on Him.
