The Singing God Part V

The Singing God, you say? Who is this, this singing God? Zephaniah 3:9-20 describes Him perfectly. Some would shy away fromever thinking of God as being so frivolous as to sing. No, that's not reverant for God to be singing. And God expects our head to be bowed and us to be in constant fear of Him. Do I really believe that? I don't see any where in the scripture that would make me think it is irreverant of God to sing. While I believe in reverance, I see nothing wrong with thinking that God sings. God has a voice and uses it,much as He wants ujs to, whether or not we can carry a tune. On the other hand, I cannot think of another subject that is more controverial than the use of musicin worship services. I cannot think of another subject that has divided more people, something that satan can use and has used to keep God's people separated from one another and unable to complete Hs work because of their differences. What inhibits evagelism more? Selfish desires toboldly pronounce my right to be different and my right to express myself tot he Deity. I even had a woman who was visiting the Church I was attending tell me that I mustn't like music because the church where I worshipped used acapella music. That simply is not true. Music is a big part of my life. But my worship does not involve instruents because I want to come to Him with my brethren without the constraints of instruments or idols.
