Before I launch into a brief discussion of the different elements of a worship group and how to assemble a quality band together, I think it is important that we remind ourselves of the importance and power of music. One reason we need to take our music seriously is because the world takes their music seriously. We are surrounded by high quality music. Everywhere we go, we hear professional music, whether it s in a restaurant, an elevator, or our own car or living room. We grow up with an appreciation for well-performed music and we play for people who know good music when they hear it.
Music is powerful.
Hearing a certain song can almost transport us into a different reality even though it s not a Christian song. When you add Christian lyrics and the Holy Spirit to the medium of music, you have a powerful package. Music powerfully impacts people, so we make the most of it. David understood the power of worship music skillfully played. Think about this next time you are rehearsing a worship set.
