Daily Java: Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts.(Colossians 3:16).
Our worship is an outpouring of our hearts to God. It is a natural expression of gratitude and joy. With it we teach and encourage each other.
Singing together was meant to be more than just singing together. it was meant to be a morale booster for a church, for a teaching instrument, or an encouragement.
The emphasis was never intended to be on the how but the what and the why. We worry so much about singing the right way that we lose the whole point of the doing.
We argue over style or from or how we sing or whether or not we use instruments (a small percentage of the church, true, but tone I grew up in) and in so doing destroy all of the good in the singing.
It is a real shame when a church divides itself over how to sing and never considers that the main emphasis is to sing.
And singing together is one of the best things you can do.

You are welcome to say anything you want as long as it is nice. If I don't like it, or it is ugly, I will take it off, place it into the garbage disposal, grind it up, and allow it to be flushed into the Gulf of Mexico where it will be eaten by a fish and then excreted where it will lie on the bottom of the ocean until it is covered up by other comments.
