In this episode of LIFTED, we discuss the topic of worship & how it is the ultimate priority of our lives. The LIFTED Leaders are joined by special guests, Worship Team Members: Kelsie Sims & Mark Cantrell.
Questions asked...
- What is worship?
- Why is music used in worship? What is the goal?
- Does Scripture provide any regulations on worship music or instruments used?
- Should we stay away from melodies and accompaniments that sound like secular music?
- Does that cater to a worldly standard?
- What standard is used to determine our churches worship music?
- Is it appropriate to use a song written by an artist or church with controversial theology? Or theology our church doesn’t align with?
- How can we distinguish between issues or morality and personal preference? (I.e the song "Reckless Love" comes upfront to my mind of this. A favorite of many young people)
- What should we do if we have concerns about the music our church is choosing?
