The Choir

Last night at choir practice I had to give the devotion and I simply asked the choir "why are we here, and why do we, as a choir, what we do?" I got a lot of responses and they all agreed that we sing for the glory of the Lord. That was exactly what I wanted to hear, we have an audience of one.......God. The congregation just happens to be present and join with us, but we truly sing for God. I am really praying hard that we can get to a point where we can use a soundtrack every now and then. I really can't name one person who rides around and listens to piano and pipe organ music on a daily basis. Don't get me wrong I do like the piano and the pipe organ, but I do feel like some pieces we sing sound a lot better with the soundtracks provided and a $10.00 cd is a lot more cost effective than a full orchestra. I just want us as a church to do wahtever it takes to reach the BHP community. Psalm 33 says:
1 Sing for joy in the LORD, O you righteous ones; Praise is becoming to the upright. 2 Give thanks to the LORD with the lyre; Sing praises to Him with a harp of ten strings. 3 Sing to Him a new song; Play skillfully with a shout of joy. 4 For the word of the LORD is upright, And all His work is done in faithfulness. 5 He loves righteousness and justice; The earth is full of the lovingkindness of the LORD.
Psalms 33:1-5 (NASB)

Have a Blessed Day!!!
