A Day is coming when Everyone will Kneel before God . A. Clapping is a Biblical Expression of Worship . I learned recently that the sign for praise in sign language is a clap of the hands. In the OT, people often clapped to praise God. I don't know that there is anything wrong about clapping when someone sings, but I don't find evidence for it in the Bible.
Worship can be like a pressure cooker.
Clapping is an appropriate response. In black churches clapping becomes a praise instrument. A. Lifting Hands in Worship is a Common Expression in the Old Testament . If the frequency of these references mentioned in Scripture relate to their importance, it would seem that we often practice the opposite of what Scripture says is important. We most often bow our heads.
