I know the churches have to change with the times, but these new music to me seems more like a rock concert.<br /><br /><br />http://edna-myfavoritethings.blogspot.com/<br /><br />mamat2730(at)charter(dot)netEdnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04132658803192802735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502152359497137754.post-48770479439026189022010-02-12T17:55:32.213-05:002010-02-12T17:55:32.213-05:00T.Anne, glad you liked Brian Doerksen's Holy G...T.Anne, glad you liked Brian Doerksen's Holy God. I love this version because the choir background sounds like heavenly hosts! Brian Doerksen is not only a gifted musician, but a man with a powerful testimony of trusting God in all circumstances. The vocal arranger for this album was Brian's high school choir teacher, Larry Nickel. Larry is a mentor to the music teacher at my children'Wenda Dottridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06086728367896516923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502152359497137754.post-22456676243035476532010-02-12T15:18:39.765-05:002010-02-12T15:18:39.765-05:00Wenda, fascinating post!

Music is a powerful way to worship and connect with God and I think old hymns and modern worship songs all have their place. Although, I prefer songs focused on Jesus and Biblical truth rather than the 'all about me and what I do for God' songs.Narellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07665380446283721576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502152359497137754.post-71200701889545195112010-02-12T14:57:35.298-05:002010-02-12T14:57:35.298-05:00I loved this!

I definitely notice the rise music is able to entice within me. I do try and listen to mostly christian music and thankfully we have some great artists out there right now. I use praise music as a muse for my writing as well.Tanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10518718614911804428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502152359497137754.post-47199382682690226632010-02-12T11:26:34.637-05:002010-02-12T11:26:34.637-05:00D'Ann, I like the way you phrase that there ar...D'Ann, I like the way you phrase that there are different forms of worship. I think that is where Matt Redmond is going with his song, but music is definitely a unique way of connecting with our God.<br /><br />And Suzie, thanks for sharing about your Alzheimer's patient. I find it remarkable that she could still play the piano. What a joy for her and for those who cared for her.

I agree that the angels are always singing. I also love the last verse of Amazing Grace: When I've been there 10,000 years, bright shining as the sun...<br /><br />It gives such a clear picture of eternity, where we'll be content to praise God, never tiring of singing.Wenda Dottridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06086728367896516923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502152359497137754.post-21466156054555481552010-02-12T10:28:22.562-05:002010-02-12T10:28:22.562-05:00Wenda, I love Matt Redmond's Heart of Worship....Wenda, I love Matt Redmond's Heart of Worship. It's so amazingly, hauntingly beautiful.<br /><br />Interesting about the science aspect. My boss is reading a brain book and she talks about something similar to what you've mentioned here. I found it very interesting because at one time I worked in a nursing home where my job was to keep the residents engaged in activities.

It is truly powerful. Music definitely enhances my experience of God, too. But that makes sense to me, because of the multi-faceted, creative God we serve. So music draws me into HIm. As do books. And art. And sermons. And dance. And and and. I love all forms of worship, but music seems to be one of the most accessible.Anne Mateerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11330467138236037032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502152359497137754.post-53490922497294806862010-02-12T09:13:13.459-05:002010-02-12T09:13:13.459-05:00We are so blessed in this day and age to be so sur...We are so blessed in this day and age to be so surrounded by music. It's so readily available I think sometimes we forget its power. Still music ministers to me when I'm hurting. It reminds of me of the things I hold most important and helps me to reassess my priorities. Especially worship music. Or it can put a smile on my face.

My mind is spinning, but I think what I'll share is a quote from my second novel.<br /><br />“One might argue that the entire earth is a sacred space. The whole earth is filled with His glory. Worship is life and life is worship, Lily. You needn’t always be dividing the sacred and the secular so.

Your post got me thinking about angels and worship and God and the Holy Spirit. Do you suppose Adam and Eve hummed? did they get a song in their head that stuck with them all day-a pure song of worship? Aren't we created with this ability andDebra E.
