I saw some other posts about churches today, and it got me to thinking... that’s a good thing I hope . Anyway, for some reason, maybe because I grew up with only traditional music worship (singing hyms, piano and organ) in the church, I have always tended to consider other forms (electric guitars, etc.) as kind of inappropriate. I know many people now (seems to be mostly younger generations) who prefer the more diverse musical styles and I hadn’t really given it much thought, beyond my initial feelings, until I focused in on Psalm 150:1-6:
1 Praise ye the Lord. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power.
2 Praise him for his mighty acts: praise him according to his excellent greatness.
3 Praise him with the sound of the trumpet: praise him with the psaltery and harp.
4 Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed instruments and organs.
5 Praise him upon the loud cymbals: praise him upon the high sounding cymbals.
6 Let every thing that hath breath praise the Lord. Praise ye the Lord.
These verses are putting it in a different light for me... what are your thoughts?
