Gospel Music Pushes The Limits

Gospel Music over the years has transformed the music industry. With sales in the millions artist like Kurt Franklin have been ridicule by traditional church communities. Some believe we must reach the youth by all means necessary, but this should not come at the cost of transforming traditional worship. I personally have heard and witness testimony from those who believe that we have lost our way by bringing such songs into the local church. There are different view points on this issue. The argument over this music and what is acceptable and what is not has caused us to lose focus on what is true worship. True worship is not found in noise made by instruments, or in the tempo in which they are played. True worship is found in the silent-noise of the spirit, the expressive words utter by mouth by those who call on Jesus out of a sincere heart and mind. So if there are those who want Kirk Franklin and those who desire hymnals let whatever affections of your heart be expressed in truth and spirit. We are not box into the realm of the carnality which represents Christian Music with white brothers and sisters and Gospel music with only black artist. We are of a royal-priest hood that doesn't recognize music genres, because that which is of the spirit is not bound. Remember this the next time you hear worshipers singing onto the LORD with sounds that you are not accustom to hearing.

I leave you with this. Did you know that the word worship is not synonymous with playing music or singing songs in the New Testament? Yes, worship can take place at anytime, anywhere and come in any form. Worship can take place while listening to the Preacher, while listening to music, while walking in the park or while working around the house. Worship is when we place our mental and physical abilities on the personifications of the Holy Spirit. Mentally you are to be awed by His greatness. And during this time instructions or a word of knowledge may come forth. The important fact is worship in truth and spirit. God Bless!
