| We the musicians and singers have an awesome responsibility. We are more than a choir or a band, we are worship leaders and ministers through music. The expressions on our faces and the enthusiasm we demonstrate will extend to the congregation and inspire them to praise the Lord. As we follow the leading of the Holy Spirit, we will also lead them into the Holy of Holies. When the Body begins to worship in one accord, the Lord will move in mighty ways. Music is merely a loan from God to us to use as an instrument for His praise and Glory. Thus, music and the ministry of music should receive thoughtful care and consideration.
Music ministry is not just playing instruments, singing songs, making melodies, etc. but a lifestyle of thanksgiving before the Lord. Through music, our faith is built. When faith is built up in the body, miracles happen, and miracles glorify God. The ministry of music is much more than a preliminary to preaching. It is more than a program; more than a musical selection to make one feel good. God never intended for music to be watered down with the religious traditions of man. |
