CHAPTER 27

WHY DOESN’T THE CHURCH OF CHRIST USE A PIANO OR ORGAN?

EPHESIANS 5:

18 And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;

19 Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your

heart to the Lord;

WHAT KIND OF MUSIC DOES PAUL INSTRUCT THE CHURCH TO USE IN THIS VERSE?

COL 3:

16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with

grace in your hearts to the Lord.

JOHN 16:

13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he

speak: and he will shew you things to come.

IT WAS THROUGH THIS GUIDANCE INTO ALL TRUTH THAT GOD SPECIFIED WHAT KIND OF MUSIC HE WANTED THE CHURCH TO USE TO

WORSHIP HIM.

IT’S A MUSIC THAT PLEASES GOD RATHER THAN MAN……

“BUT IT SOUNDS SO MUCH BETTER IF WE USE A PIANO OR ORGAN”

PROVERBS 14: 12

There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.

BUT NONE OF THESE VERSES SAY THAT YOU CAN’T PRAISE GOD BY USING “MUSICAL

INSTRUMENTS” IN WORSHIP.

BY BEING “SPECIFIC” IN WHAT YOU ASK FOR EXCLUDES EVERYTHING ELSE.

LEVITICUS 10:And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took either

of them his censer, and put fire therein, and put incense thereon, and offered strange fire before the

Lord, which he commanded them not.

2 And there went out fire from the Lord, and devoured them, and they died before the Lord.

one's bands were loosed.
