Worship in the Church

There are many ways to worship to God but when Christians think about worship we connect it immediately to music. When we hear the word worship we usually think about singing praises to God. Music is a crucial part of church and can either bring people into a church or send people away because of the draw music has on people and how music is heavily connected to how people worship in the church. Worship is important in the church because Jesus said the most important commandment was to love the Lord with all your heart, mind and soul. As Christians we worship heavily through music because it is one way we express our love and devotion to God. Music in the church is a controversial topic in the church. Most Christians believe we should only have gospel music in the church or only sing hymns. Many Christians object to Christian rock or rap but those types of Christian music bring in younger crowds of people to the church. When you worship in the church it should not matter whether you are singing hymns, rap, or rock as long as you are praising God should be the only thing that matters. The Bible nowhere condemns any particular style of music and Christians should not criticize any type of Christian music because as Christians we should not judge how someone worships God as long as they are worshipping God. When Christians look for music to worship to God it should be based on the content of the song and whether or not it is glorifying God, not on the style of music. Each person as a different style of music that they have a preference to listen to and I believe the church should have a wide range of music so the church can bring in a wider variety of members into its doors. People can relate to each other through music and Christians can evangelize with music to bring people to Christ. Since music is so important to the church there should not be a controversy in the church to which type of music should be in the church because the church as well as Christians should want to be open to any idea that can better glorify God and accept people for who they are and how they want to worship God in their own way through music.
