We find from the Bible that ours is a singing faith. The people of God are ALWAYS singing: From the shores of the Red Sea to the shores of the Promised Land; from the Book of Exodus to the last chapter of Revelation. And then there are the many songs in the Book of Psalms and all the canticles: both those from the New Testament and those from the Old.
As a new season of music begins in churches across our country, I would like to encourage you to take part and join the ongoing song of the Saints and the Angels in whatever way you can. Not only that, let us also encourage our children to sing and give them every opportunity to learn how do to so. As a musician, teaching a child to sing is one of the greatest gifts I can give them. Then throughout there alone if they can be an ACTIVE participant in worship rather than be a PASSIVE participant.
May we continue to use MUSIC and SONG to PRAISE our God and PROCLAIM all that He has done for us.
