Truth Encounter: Reason We Sing

Do you ever wonder where God is in the midst of this world where often the good people cry, while the bad people party and have their laughs?

Did you know that God invites us to sing the blues to Him when we are hurting and to sing the beautiful melodies of love as we experience His mercy?

Everyone has a story to tell and as they worship together, this story has to do with God. Do we have some time in our worship when these life realities can be expressed so that we can either pray fervently or enthusiastically sing--depending upon what is going on at a given time in our walk with God?

Remember the relief, the thanksgiving, the enthusiastic joy--victories from the past? Have you ever had one of these exhilarating moments in church?

The songs in some churches become grounds for debate and separation between the age groups rather than the unified expression of love to the Savior. Is there a solution?

Music must be part of the image of God in us because like various religious paraphernalia, music is found wherever you find human beings. The music we sing and why we sing it is a subject incredibly important to God himself.
