The Wounds of a Friend

This is a hard word from Greg Gilbert, but it's a needed one. His post is called "Against Music*" and it's excellent.

"I think the entire evangelical world ought to put a moratorium on any kind of instrumental music, and just chant psalms in their worship services - for the next ten years."

That's his opening salvo, or should I say, paragraph. Some of us are far too dependant upon certain music or a certain type of music in order to "really worship God." It's crucial that we keep central in our minds the fact that we use music as a tool to better worship God, we don't worship music.
