The Good Music

Music can brings us, some happiness and also some comforts. That is why the church has choir to sing songs. In reality, the choir also united to worship the Lord. Sometimes they will praise the Lord. But presently, many churches are using short choruses, to replaces the hymns. This is quite unhealthy, because the short choruses are too emotional, seldom comes with in depth meanings. Some sing the choruses with much noise and dancing, they disturb the peace in worship. We forgot that we are worshipping the Lord, He is the mighty God. We need good music when we are worshipping the Lord. The Best is the classical music, many seminaries and churches regret that the acceptance of contemporary songs into the churches, it is a wrong decision. Many churches had became musical concert rather than place of worship. Some had become party of rock and roll. The classic and contemporary songs cannot get along together. There are gaps between them. Like the generation gap. But the classic is better to be used in worship. 1 Cor 14:15, we are told by Paul to sing with our mind and understanding also. The classical music suit the mind and understanding better. The contemporary song brings us the sound of man, it is fill the churches with the emotional and feeling factors, but the classical song bring us the sound of God, they are divine, they have power, to elevate the worshippers to the higher ground.

Tonight, I see this news in the internet, a young business man was killed with 4 gun shots, killed by 3 killers, and the family members are very sad about his death, he was shot in the petrol station, and the family members told the reporters after that killing, that they intended to let the deceased find the killers, and also to revenge, they will let him wear red cloth and red pant and lay him in the coffin, and they will put a long knife beside him in the coffin, so that the young business man has weapon to revenge. The world is full of killing and revenging, they needed to find rest, but sad to say, there is no rest even after death. Hopefully the church is not like this, let there be peace and unity, and let us become peace maker. Let us care for one and another, stop pointing fingers, and put away the malice of the wrong doctrine like VPP, without hatred and be kind to one another. Let us sing praises to the Lord in unity, let the people shake hands, let us put down the knives, make them into plow. Let us sing the new song in unity….”Blessed be the Name….”

….and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds,
And to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God
In true righteousness and holiness.

Eph 4:23-24
