Ten Commandments for Use of Music in Worship

Pastor lists ‘10 commandments’ for use of music in worship - (BP)

As a pastor who is concerned for the growing apathy and anemia that is plaguing our churches in this consumer-driven, niche-marketed generation, the above title caught my eye as I perused the Baptist Press headlines this morning. At first I thought I would not even skim the article because I am nauseous of discussions of music styles. Also I am nauseous because of my continued battle with pneumonia, but that is something altogether different. For years I have preached that we must exalt the Lord in our worship and focus on the substance of what we sing rather than the style of how we sing.

I decided to give the article a read based on the word "Commandments." I thought this was awfully strong language to use in a discussion of worship music, so I read the article. I was so pleased to find myself in total agreement with everything said therein. So, I wanted to link to it for you to read as well.

Excellent article that I never would have read if you had not mentioned it on your blog and included a link. Thank you for doing that.
