Our church services are marked with loud joyful music. Everybody enjoys praising and making melody from the heart. Music spills out on to the street through the sound system.Our worship team consists of talented musicians and singers, of which I am a part. Our Pastor himself is a musician and composer .
The language of music is holy. The Bible is full of music . David, the temple musicians and believers in the early church encouraged each other with psalms and hymns. In the Bible we are told about the continuous worship and celestial music before the throne of God. And the amazing thing is that with modern equipment astronomers and scientists have recorded the music of the stars and heavenly bodies. I posted a video recording sometime back. The Psalmist wrote about the stars in the sky and hills , mountains and forests making a joyful noise in praise of God. The symphony of the stars have been captured , who knows someone may record the hills and mountains clapping for joy, as the Bible says.
God speaks to people in the language of music. This Sunday morning a young Air Force officer was passing by our church. it was his first day in the city. Maybe he felt lonely in a srange place .He heard the strains of worship music and it beckoned him to come inside and experience the presence of God. Awesome isn' t it.
Psalm 98:4
Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all the earth: make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise.
KJV (BILE)

How are You Amrita? Today in our news there was information about Muslim protests and aggression in India - it is conflict caused by film about Mohammed. I'm hope, that in Your area there is calm.
The violence spreads with people being incited. I heard of incidents in South India. Don' t know if there were any in North India where I live. But at times like these Christians and churches are under threat as they identify us with westerners. Thank you for your prayers dear Zim
Music is like the language of God....it speaks to places in our innermost beings that can be reached in no other way.
Loved this post, Amrita!
