:applause::glow:.. this is good Roy, thank you for sharing and WELCOME TO THE FORUM!:party::waving:
Music is a great means to minister to the body of Chirst, becasue it now only minister to us and build us up , but it ministers to God... and is very imortant to worshipping and praising our Lord , lifting uo the name of Jesus Christ through the singing and musical hymns, and of spiritual songs.
We find this throughout the Psalms the music David and others presented before the Lord, as well as to what Paul teaches us in Ephesians 5: 15 Be very careful, then, how you live�not as unwise but as wise, 16 making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord�s will is. Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another with psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit. Sing and make music from your heart to the Lord, always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed instruments and organs. Praise him upon the loud cymbals: praise him upon the high sounding cymbals.
Let everything that has breath praise the Lord! Praise ye the Lord. Psalms 150:4-6
