“Let us… extol Him with music and song.” Psalm 95:2 (NIV)
Every once in a while, I talk to someone who doesn’t want any music when we worship at church – just Bible study. But when you study the Bible you see that God clearly tells us to worship Him with music!
I’ve found that usually people who don’t want to sing want a worship for the head and not the heart. Music has the power to speak to our hearts!
The Big Idea: 3 Words Should Mark Our Singing
Alive - Sing with JOY
Aloud - Sing with ENTHUSIASM
Some people sing like they’re practicing to be ventriloquists. “Look, he´s worshipping and I barely saw his mouth move!” Instead we sing "HighPoint Style" - from the bottom of our hearts and the top of our lungs.
Aloft - Sing to GOD
You’re not performing, you and I are expressing our hearts together to the God who loves us!
The Little Things:
1. SMILE while you sing
2. Close your EYES
When some of us sing, we open our eyes and close our mouths Why not close your eyes and open your mouth!
3. Personalize the WORDS as you sing
Think about what those words mean to your life, your family, your future.
