Instrumental Music in Christian Music
Education-part 2
Those who have chosen to sing without instruments are philosophically
more biblically accurate than those who worship with a praise band with all the
instruments amplified to such decibel levels that an observer can see mouths
moving but cannot hear a word of the attempted praise offering of the
congregation. The question is not to use
or not to us instruments in worship, but rather how a musician uses musical
instruments in musicing unto God.
With
that introduction, I will say that the use of musical instruments is so
connected and entwined with singing in both the old and New Testament that I
can find no reason, based upon the Holy Writ to exclude the use of musical
instruments in public worship. Their use
must: have properly controlled volume, be tastefully performed, be appropriately
orchestrated, and properly utilized as a *concomitant to and not the master of,
congregational singing.
