Is Your Preferred Music Style a 'God?'
Greg Brewton writes:
A number of years ago I had an interesting discussion with another staff member of a church where I served as minister of music. The church was contemplating starting a new service that would be contemporary in style. The staff member told me that he really liked the contemporary music style for worship. In fact, he said that he really could not worship unless he had that particular music style for his worship music. I was shocked by the comment at first . . . “can’t worship unless he has a particular music style?”
A quick look through the Scripture will reveal that a number of music styles were in use in Bible days. The music style used by Moses and Miriam at that spontaneous worship service on the banks of the Red Sea was much more developed featuring skilled musicians in King David’s day. The music style of Jesus’ day was probably different from that of the early church in the Apostle Paul’s day. The culture of these different time periods I’m sure had a large influence on the style of music used in the worship of God’s people.
