| | Greetings Fellow Xanglians,
Ah a long absence.
I have been studying worship lately and reading some materials on it. I have come to the conclusion that if we are to properly understand the position of music in worship we must understand the distinctiveness of worship itself.
Worship in the scriptures is almost always linked with an act. The words used, in the Greek and Hebrew, identify it as an act of outward humility to an overlord, king or God. Of course with God it is more than an outward position, but it is also an attitude of the heart.
In either case, I think it would be proper to distinguish music from worship. Music can be part of the act, but to play music is not necessarily always an act of worship.
I'll try to keep this updated more often, but for now I leave you with 1 Chronicles 16:29
"Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name: bring an offering, and come before him: worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness."
Josh out
