How Should We Then Worship? Part 3 (part 4 on Jan 2)


How Should We Then Worship? Part 3 (part 4 on Jan 2)

            Yesterday we introduced the Bible principle of musicing unto God as a part of worship.  Why is this response to God as a part of worship so valuable and efficacious?  It is most valuable because, rather than it being an artistic event, it is a heart-felt response of all those o truly love and serve the self-existent, independent, eternal God who is—i.e. the LORD (YAHV).  God has made it possible for all Christians, not just trained performers) to offer unto the Trinity a heart-felt response that is more expressive than mere words. 

            All those who love and serve our precious LORD should note that the Bible principles of musicing taught in Psalm 92:1-3 include singing praises (zamar, 2167) and upon an instrument of ten strings (asor, 6218), upon the psaltery (nebel, 5035), as well as upon the harp (kinore, 3658).  The use of singing with musical instruments, and musicing with musical instruments alone i.e. without singing is taught clearly throughout the divinely God breathed Holy Writ.
