feast: Exalt With Music
Praise and Worship
John W. Ritenbaugh
Given 17-Oct-92; Tape #FT92-05
Description: John Ritenbaugh focuses upon the intense power of music to stimulate the emotions, trigger the imagination, set the mood of the services, and serves as a teaching vehicle for godly instruction. God Almighty, as the inventor of the human voice and the capacity to make music, has repeatedly commanded that we must sing ' exalting praise and gratitude- returning back the inspired words He has given us in the Psalms- the Bible's largest book. As a powerful emotional stimulant and a memory stimulator, music has the power to make the words penetrate deeper into the nervous system than merely speaking the words. David considered the music services a part of the ministerial function, setting aside 288 musicians for that specific purpose. Music both reflects and affects what is going on in individuals and nations, having both a dramatic positive and negative potential. It is our solemn responsibility to put music to a godly righteous use. (80 minutes)
