God is building a community of worshippers
This is done in the heart: Spirit and truth
Music is an instrument to fill us with the Spirit of God
Worshipping in community is a must in the Kingdom of God
Jesus did it with His disciples
We are commanded in Scripture
There is a vertical and horizontal
We are looking up with worship towards God
And then we address one another and teach and admonish one another
How can we increase worshipful affection through music in the church?
Psalms: The Song Book of the People of God
Hymns
Spiritual Songs
Worship together!
Study and understand the different types of music, and then wisely choose them as needed in your life.
Ultimately, your heart will love what you want to feed it. Ask God to give you a heart devoted to Him.
John Chrysostom (347–407 AD), known as the greatest preacher of the ancient church, in these words: "Do you wish to be happy? Do you want to know how to spend the day truly blessed? I offer you a drink that is spiritual. This is not a drink for drunkenness that would cut off even meaningful speech. This does not cause us to babble. It does not disturb our vision. Here it is: Learn to sing Psalms! Then you will see pleasure indeed. Those who have learned to sing with the psalms are easily filled with the Holy Spirit."
