There is a thread on "Drums in the Church" going on somewhere on this board, I don't know where though.
I don't see a problem with drums in the church. As long as they are used in a decent and orderly way and in reverence to God, then there isn't a problem!
I believe too much strife has developed over music in the church. We need to learn to discern "decent and in order".
God Bless.

Excellent way of putting it Alexandria. Very true.
Personally ... I can have them or leave them. I like hymns and all kinds of styles. But, I just don't want to impose music styles on anyone. I think we need a variety of styles to meet a variety of people.

It IS important to be relevant to the society today. Jesus needs to be presented as relevant.

Did you say trumpets?
Well ... I would not be surprised if there were drums also.
But I do acknowledge the trumpets.

@ N Him
with regards to what kind of music we can play and listen to! - it should not be about trying to please different people - and from different cultures. I am sure God has the same rule about music, singing.... for all people! the same rules!!

Hi there Irene, I agree with your comment there. When you think about it, the effects of sound (apart from anything else to consider in music) and what it communicates are beyond any culture and whatever else we may want to base our justification for the differences in preferences and tastes. Simple test....movies and whatever effect holy wood want to put us through..you need to just change the language and the same behaviour is expected from the whole world. So, yes God has principles guiding in this area and imagine what danger we are in when we do not even want to know what they are; and when we do, we do not want them as they cut right across our old selves. live long and God bless.

Dude I'm really feeling u, to be rather on the young side and think this way. I would really like to meet u some day and sit and brake bread, u to Irene. We become fixed on what we want, and what we think is right. In the words of Stephen D. Lewis, we need to become fully converted to be able to see clearly, to put our preferences aside and to get back to our roots, " The Word Of God". We are looking more and more like the world every day and u can't tell the deference any more. U can not save the world with the world. Yvor said that and I truly believe it. PEACE.....
