How Should We Then
Worship? Part 4
The last three posts have given a tiny thumb-nail
sketch of part of the principles of musicing clearly taught in the Bible. Regardless of whether a fellowship of
believers chooses to use or not use instruments as a part of public worship,
their use does not violate Bible principles of public or private worship. As God breathed over His Divine Word, He
would not have said that their use was a “good thing” if it was something that
He as the self-existent, independent, eternal God who is prohibits.
How
should we then Worship? How should then
should we music unto God? Christian
believers should find the answers in what the Bible clearly teaches rather than
in the traditions of men. I am not
saying that a fellowship of believers should throw their time honored
traditions of musicing unto God out the window, but I am saying that they
should not impose their traditions of musicing unto God that are not clearly
taught in the Bible upon ALL who worship
God in musical response. It important
that all of us who include music as a part of worship clearly differentiate
personal preference from Bible musical mandates.
