Music Ministry Today

[SoCaliUPC]

Okay...I want to hear from all of you. Your thoughts...

What is going on in music ministry today? What is right? What is wrong? If something is wrong, what is the solution? What do you expect from a music minister? What would you like to see more or less of from singers, musicians, directors, praise singers...all of us?

Being on both sides of it, meaning, having been the keyboard player, having lead songs before and being in the pews also, I think then the singers and musicians get a hold of God in prayer, that will make the service...it will set the atmosphere for praise.....It irks me to no end when the song leader gets up unprepared and doesn't have a clue in what to sing......jmo

[ReformedDave]

SoCal, as you know I've been on the otherside and know being more an 'observer' I see the distinction between performer and observers to be growing larger all the time.

But much more importantly, I believe that since we're to be worshiping God He gets to choose how we're to do it. Remember Aaron's sons........

[tyhuff]

stop the competition, make sure the annointing is there and that they live the life behind the music.

get the homos off the platform, don't keep them because they are talented and that all you got in the house. God will bless you for honoring the Word.

so what !!! its ( big tithers son). or you don't want to cause an UPROAR.

gET RIGHT OR YOU'LL GET LEFT, MICHELOB OVER THE DOOR!!! LOL

I feel like Huffy has zeroed in on a very pertinent point here. :)

Let me add my agreement.:highfive

I think your being too quick to point at this because its an easy target. Sure a few years ago there were quite a few with some serious feminine tendencies and actions, I really don't think you can say this (at least what I've seen in the UPC) today, the leaders in music seem to be pretty straight acting and playing and singing like men. (Miles, Aaron, Glen, Silomen?, Tim, Jonathan, J Cole) The Jonathan in this list does not refer to me because I'm nowhere in their league, but call me a homo and I'll slap you and your mama into next week! He he:highfive

[StillStanding]

In churches where I was music director, we had more problems with adulturers than homos!

I say get all of these:

1. adulturers
2. homos
3. sexual predators
4. arrogant jerks
5. backbiters

OFF THE PLATFORM!!!!!

DIDO! SELF-RIGHTEOUSNESS IS A BIG ONE!

[Monkeyman]

I think the #1 problem is PRIDE. Whenever things go right and it just hits, its so easy to walk away thinking, man, I nailed it, when it had NOTHING to do with me at all. God gives the talent, He gives the anointing, and HE alone gets the praise. If you want proof of this, try giving a solo away to someone else and see what happens. This is where I am grateful to leaders who were over me, I would have my solos and then a big conference would come around and my solos were given away to the pedigos and spells....guess what, I sure grew up fast!

Soooo, remember socali asked what's right too...there are many musicians who have perfected their craft and back it up with MUCH prayer and Godly lives, this is what's right with today's music...don't just focus on the negative!!!!

what about emotionalism? vs. a real presence of God. we have to be careful of that. I see both. because so much of it is learned.

[Monkeyman]

I see both. because so much of it is learned.good point, but if you watch the person...are they emotional in prayer, worship off of the platform, if so, then maybe that is just who they are. THE SAME GOES FOR PREACHERS!!!!!

[Monkeyman]

Here is a lost art...REHEARSAL. When I came up, we practiced ALL of the time.
Mon night, thursday night, saturday night, and before service on Sunday...now??? Yeah right!

Ask SoCal 'bout some of our practices.......on second thought don't. I used to be a real jack donkey!!!! I hope I've gained a little wisdom since.(Actually, nobody at my current church even knows that I used to play and sing!:heeheehee )

I remember rehearsals where we had church,how you practice is how you play, that goes for church as well.
where worship in practice continues over into the service, the problem is sometimes the PASTOR is not in the flow. A BIG PROBLEM.

He can't wait to get the mike! lol little carnel.... it aint God unless he is up! lol

The preaching is one of the scriptural dictates of a service so it is one of the most important parts. Choir and praise singing is not.

obviously you are a preacher, there is some people that music ministers to that sermons wont. songs that have the Word of God in them minister as well.

try letting praise and worship do your service, it will refresh you! The miracle you need is on the other side of your worship.No matter what it is, it can be financial, healing etc....

preaching is for the saints and preacher. worship is straight to Him.
this is from my experience. you know when the worship is right it is easier to minister, you agree??

Wrong!!!!!! I was a music director for 18 years. Had a great choir and program....

BTW, preaching is secondarily for people and primarily for Him. The entire service is for Him and for us in a lesser way. That why we call it a 'worship' service.

Ummm...we would have to get a whole new crew!!!!!!!!!!! lol...jk...I see less of homos than I see of the above mentioned.....
good point, but if you watch the person...are they emotional in prayer, worship off of the platform, if so, then maybe that is just who they are. THE SAME GOES FOR PREACHERS!!!!!
That is true! I heard someone say that you can be emotional without being spiritual, but you really can't be spiritual without being emotional...to an extent I agree. And when it comes to worship, it comes from deep within, and thus, it should be emotional.......but not rehearsed emotions.

Yes Yes Yes.... pray all you want but if the musicians and singings don't get on the same page with the music, it is going to be a mess.....People need to know who is leading, and who is following and everyone needs to be in the same key!lol.but there is sooo much more to it than that! We are actually dealing with this right now where we are!

Great Post Tyhuff!

Worship can cause a break through for healing, finances, etc. One of my pastors always said that worship is the most important part of the service.

Where do you Biblical support for this???

One can find support for biblical preaching bring 'results'.

But the main problem is that you and most think church is for the people. It's not. It's for the worship of God and only in a secondary place for us. That's why He gets to choose what He wants in a service.

Remember Aaron's sons.

[LadyChocolate]

Worship is an intimate time between us and God.....We worship God for who He is... We praise Him for what He's done. Many times we find breakthroughs in worship because we tend to give our all then, God is able to work on us. When we magnify God, He becomes larger to us, and we become smaller.....God has a way of working with us when we are smaller in our own eyes.....But it is the annointing that breaks the yoke. And I find that , worship service, many times, just sets the atmospere for the Word of God....Oh, how I love those times when one can break out with a HolyGhost dance right in the middle of preaching because God has spoken and ministered to them....How many times have you sat and just wept during a sermon because you knew God had your number. The worship service just seem to put you in tune with what the man of God has to give ya!

Remember Aaron's sons.
2nd Chronicles 5:11 The priests then withdrew from the Holy Place. All the priests who were there had consecrated themselves, regardless of their divisions.
12 All the Levites who were musicians—Asaph, Heman, Jeduthun and their sons and relatives—stood on the east side of the altar, dressed in fine linen and playing cymbals, harps and lyres. They were accompanied by 120 priests sounding trumpets.
13 The trumpeters and singers joined in unison, as with one voice, to give praise and thanks to the LORD. Accompanied by trumpets, cymbals and other instruments, they raised their voices in praise to the LORD and sang: "He is good; his love endures forever."Then the temple of the LORD was filled with a cloud.
14 and the priests could not perform their service because of the cloud, for the glory of the LORD filled the temple of God.



Here is a fine example of musicians and preachers working together...lots of unity, so much that the preachers had to sit a bit cuz' the glory took over da place.

I tell my team, we follow the Pastors of our church and will go WHATEVER direction that they want to go...style, worship, length, even song titles. Yet the Pastors have confidence in our anointing, talents, prayer lives, that it creates a POWERFUL mix!!

It always cracked me up to hear "cocky" preachers say, "it ain't in the music, it's the preaching, yada, yada, yada" and then when they have exhausted themselves and no one is responding, they always say, "come back to the music", haha, I feel like leaving them standing there to do their own altar music, he he.

I am soooooooo glad that this isn't the case in our church, everyone respects each other, and builds/helps each other!:bliss We all NEED each other.

Dave, as awesome a preacher as your pops was, you CAN'T tell me that your music team didn't make a difference on "Pentecost Way"!!!

[tyhuff]

hey, our homes need to be a sanctuary, I hope we don't worship only at church. when I drive in my car I worship Him, no radio no nothing just my time to communicate with him, many times tears streaming down my face.
not with a list for Him but loving on Him. He wants my attention.
its a relationship we have I worship Him just because.

If we're to use the most current New Testament instructions for Lord's Day worship it would include preaching/teaching, singing, prayer, giving, the sacraments (baptism, Lord's supper), discipline, and fellowship.

These are the elements that make up the worship service. We are not to add or take away as God has ordained the way He wants to be worshiped.

The problem I have with most of today's is the audience-stage mentality of our services. Let's face it. Most of the time an effort is made to sing to the crowd primarily and God secondarily. The effort put forth by the worshipers should be worthy of the one being worshiped and for the most part it's not. We're not concerned about what He thinks but about what others think. Are our lyrics worthy of Him? Is the music actually worthy of worshiping our God?? We have musicians who don't understand what He requires but they can pack the place out and put on a great show. How do we judge the 'success' of a service and what gives us the right to change the pattern that He has set down? Does God ever say "Boy! I sure enjoyed the worship service today"? After all it's ALL about Him. I sure don't want to give Him strange fire.

If you'll notice that Aaron's sons gave God not something that He said not to give but they added and gave something extra and got nailed.

I actually agree with MOST of your post Dave, except for the highlighted part. I think you think that you have some type of knowledge of most church musician's hearts and I'm here to kindly tell you that you don't. There are church musicians around the world that are sincereley offering their gifts as a sacrifice of praise...I guess its the old glass half full/empty analagy?
As for the rest of your post, I feel like you are DEAD on correct, we have removed a lot of ther types of worship and I feel maybe its only due to traditions. I and I know you have as well, watched people pick and choose when they will "worship" God based on their prefernces alone, and this is indeed sad.
I really believe you have some insight to what you have stated and I applaud your honesty.:highfive

[hammondb3klingon1]

leave the homos alone so you can.. let me think PRAY FOR THEM SO THEY WILL NOT BE HOMO ANYMORE!!! Or do we just cut them loose and watch them burn. Hmmmm. But at least ask them nicely to GET OFF THE PLATFORM!!! Or not?

Back to the original post. 99 percent of church music is copycat music. It doesn't take a lot of creativity and ingenuity to make a song special and unique. I'm an average musician on my best day, but even I can put fresh twists on songs. I Am a Friend of God would sound great with a Dobro, mandolin, banjo, along with the sweet voice of Allison Krauss. Rich Mullins' Awesome God works great with the tempo to Queen's We Will Rock You. Can't Stop Praising His Name done w/a Journey sounds terrific. (We've tested that one.)

I know a lot of serious church musicians. Very few of them play for the crowd. Most church people are offended at serious musicians anyway. The serious musician gets the most flack from church folks. Again that goes back to the cookie cutter approach to worship music.

One has to admit that most 'praise' singing in church is to an audience made up of people. It's primarily for them.....and then for God. I've seen the shift occur. BTW, what are music conferences for? Of coarse you will say to worship God but with all the theatrics I wonder really who gets the benefit.

Are the lyrics and the music really worthy of God????

[Chan]

Dave, as awesome a preacher as your pops was, you CAN'T tell me that your music team didn't make a difference on "Pentecost Way"!!!By "Pentecost Way" you clearly mean something along the lines of what one might describe as whipping people up into an emotional frenzy. If you have to use music OR preaching to evoke an emotional response, the response is not of God because it is man and not God that is evoking the response.

[Chan]

Remember Aaron's sons."Worship," of course, meaning to humble and prostrate oneself before God.

[Chan]

For the record, the above list of folks that need to get off the platform includes preachers too!!!!! :uhohSince Jesus said that whosoever looks at a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart, any preacher who has ever lusted after a woman (during his time as a preacher) has disqualified himself, if we apply your standard.

[Kutless]

Changing music over time is ok. But too many churches have gone to new age style. They will never sign any of the old songs.

SOme of the songs such as the "The Old Rugged Cross" will never go out of meaning.

It seems like in most churches they sing 2 songs for 20 minutes each and get on to the offering.

Having to hear the same 3 peolpe sing each week is also a broken record...

Get over yourself and start moving in your gift.

It appears the soulfulness that has made many a modern secular singer millions is lost in the church today.

Get back some of the old great gospel songs.

Once every other week...

"Pentecost Way" meant the actual address where Reformed Dave used to be minister of music...his church's address was on Pentecost Way in San Diego California, nice try though. This would be the place where you recite the old Rosanna Danna Danna line, "Oh...well never mind"
