I have the WOW yellow, and the blue one. I listen to them all the time in the car.

Hymns, alot of the time, are not scriptural as they said.  But if you can find choruses, most of them are scripture set to music.

Hello all,

Am I missing something here?  Regarding singing hymns? 

Eph 5: 19     Speaking to yourselves in psalms [this would be Scriptural as I take it] and hymns [this would not necessarily be Scriptural as I take it] and spiritual songs [again this would not necessarily be Scriptural], singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;

SO WHERE"S THE PROBLEM WITH SINGING SONGS THAT DO NOT REPEAT THE SCRIPTURES EXACTLY????

I honestly don't get the line of thought that it would be wrong to sing a simple human song of praise.  Would a kind enlightened BT soul please help me out on this?

It is has become interesting to me that [as far as I can tell from my reading of the entire N.T.] that the making of any music AT ALL [in worship or praise] is essentially not referred to [again, AT ALL] in the New Testament.  Please correct me if I'm wrong.

So should we hang that (music/the playing of instruments) up too?  I an seriously curious about this.

I'm so very happy to be here!

Joy, Caregiver

I personally still love to listen to music of many different types.  Perhaps it satisfies a carnal desire, I don't know.  There are times it just seems to uplift my soul.

Whatever the truth is on the matter God has not made it clear to me one way or the other.  But we are creative beings, able to make beautiful music.  I can't see (at this point in my walk) that we should have to give that up. 

Having said that, I do understand why some have left it behind, especially the "Christian" music.  It does seem that the "Christian" music industry is following hard after the secular music industry.  But I don't think that means there aren't some inspiring artists however, that have a sincere heart for worshiping God through music.

One of my favorite groups for "worship" music is 100 portraits.  They are independent of the mainstream music industry, and they have put out several albums with songs that are based solely on scripture...like the Psalms.  I really love this music.

If you want to check them out you can go to their site and sample their music, and just pay and download the songs that you like.  I wouldn't know which ones to recommend because I think they are nearly all great.

Here's the site:

Hi Caregiver,

I love music and I listen to worship music and also secular music. I can only speak for myself, but I love songs that bring my heart and mind closer to God, whether they be Christian or non-Christian.

From my earlier comment about being careful, I meant that I would now have a problem listening to and singing songs say, about the trinity, because I don't believe that now, and I wouldn't be true to myself and to God. I really listen to the words of songs now.

I like a lot of instrumental music, classical or some modern day composers. This music helps me to connect to God.  God gave human beings the ability to make and appreciate music, and I think it's a really good thing!

Hi Diana,

Thank you for the link. I'm going to check it out when I have access to a high speed computer. I'm always looking for new music. 

Love,

Ursula
