Music in the Christian Church

no stone throwing from me either... The hymns of old truly gave me a real glimpse of God. Of Who He is. I have read the book of Revelation many, many times... and if there is anything I truly learned from reading it... is WORSHIP ! There is a LOT of WORSHIP !! It taught me to WORSHIP the Lord with Praise and Thanksgiving.

The 2nd thing I learned about WORSHIP is when we truly worship the Lord, His Glory, His Love bounces off Him and we are splashed with His Glory, Love and Presence. So we worship some more and He splashes us some more.

He is truly very UNselfish. Unlike his adversary who wants to be worshipped and what do people get for it? Destruction.

So the hymns of old truly ushered us into the Presence of the Lord where we worship the Lord for Who He is. And through many of those Hymns, He revealed Himself to me and changed me.

Gees... I hope we are not showing our 'age' ...that is 'set in our ways'...

Naa....

That said... sometimes the music of today is 'fleshy'. I ushered at a Joyce Meyer concert several years ago and some Christian rock group provided the 'praise/worship' segment. Man... I could not worship the Lord as it was so darn LOUD! The whole time I had my fingers and hands in my ears ! I couldn't wait for them to shut up already!!!
