Hey I have a thought for everyone.
Is Christian Rock and Roll, Hip Hip, Rap, R&B ect. All the genres that we have taken from the world of music and Christianize are they God honoring?
Should we only listen to old church hymns that we hear at our Grandmas church that we had to go to from time to time?
What do you think?
A song consisit of music and lyrics. What is sinful about music? Nothing. David played a lot
of music and danced also.
2Sa 6:14 And David danced before the LORD with all his might; and David was girded with a linen ephod.
2Sa 6:16 And as the ark of the LORD came into the city of David, Michal Saul's daughter looked through a window, and saw king David leaping and dancing before the LORD; and she despised him in her heart.
David was cutting loose. Says he danced with ALL HIS MIGHT.
Psa 149:1-5 Praise ye the LORD. Sing unto the LORD a new song, and his praise in the congregation of saints. (2) Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: let the children of Zion be joyful in their King. (3) Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sing praises unto him with the timbrel and harp. (4) For the LORD taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation. (5) Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds.
Praise is from the soul. Worship is from the spirit. Praise is a joyous loud occasion. He wants you
to put effort in it. What makes songs bad, are the lyrics. You take the same music of a rock
song, put Christian lyrics in it, you got a song prasing God. If it makes you get up and
dance before the Lord with all your might, the Lord will be happy. Re-read Psa 149:4 (above)
again. It even says sing loud while in bed. The problem we have today, if we do this, then
it looks like the world. The world does it for itself. We, on the other hand, need to let loose
and praise God full out, because its for Him. David didn't back down when his wife thought
less of him. We need to rediscover how to praise God. It needs to be something you can
put your heart into and get you jumping. Jump and shout praises to the Lord.
