The
West End Golden Voices CD, I'd Rather Have Jesus,
is now
available for purchase. The cost of the CD
is $15.00. A generous portion of the
proceeds will go towards the up building of
the Kingdom, particularly at the West End
congregation.
To many, the matter of music in worship is a minor and
insignificant question. But, when we remember the false
worship rendered by Cain because he brought the wrong kind
of offering, and the terrible death of Nadab and Abihu
because they offered a strange fire on the altar, we see
God's attitude toward additions and changes. We are warned
that to go beyond the doctrine of Christ in anything is to
be without God (2 John 9). If God had not clearly
specified the kind of music He wants, or if He had said sing
and play we would be at liberty. We must not go beyond the
things that are written (I Cor. 4: 6). We must not presume
God will accept another music in worship beside vocal,
as there is no authority or mention of mechanical
instruments in the New Testament Church. Noah was to build
the ark of Gopher wood, and if he had used another kind, the
will of God would have been broken. In like manner, God has
told us to sing.
To introduce instrumental music in worship is to bring in a
competing kind, an unauthorized addition.
