'LET THERE BE MUSIC', AND THERE WAS........

Music plays a big part in the Bible. From Genesis to Revelation, God enlists musicians to work on His behalf. He uses music to call people to worship and to send them to war, to soothe ragged emotions and to ignite spiritual passion, to celebrate victories and to mourn losses.

Music is an all-occasion, all-inclusive art form. There are followers and leaders, simple songs and complex songs,easy instruments and difficult instruments, melodies and harmonies, fast rhythms and slow rhythms, high notes and low notes.

Music is a wonderful metaphor for the Church, because everyone participates by doing what he or she does best. We sing or play different notes at different times, but we all perform the same song. The better we know our parts, and the better we follow the conductor, the more beautiful the music.

One of the best uses for music is Praise. When Solomon's temple was completed, the musicians praised and thanked God. As they did, "the glory of the LORD filled the house of GOD"

We thank God for beautiful music, for it's like a preview of heaven, where the glory of God will dwell forever and where Praise for Him will never cease.
