Day 29

MUSIC IN CHURCH

[Scheduled Reading: Psalm 85-115]

Who are the sons of Korah? (Psalm 85, 87, 88…) And what about Asaph? (Psalm 80, 81, 82, 83, etc.)

Remember the 4,000 musicians King David organized in 1 Chronicles 23?

Well, Asaph ( 1 Chron. 15:19, 16:5) and Korah (2 Chron 20:19) are among the many songwriters and music directors mentioned at various times in Chronicles.

In fact, the sons of Asaph are referenced in Ezra and Nehemiah, continuing to live out the family legacy as song and worship leaders.

Vocal and instrumental music worship continues to play a significant role throughout the Old Testament. And wait until we get to Revelation - 100 million angels singing praises to the Lamb.

Back to those 4,000 singers David organized. I wonder if music style and preferences ever became an issue like it can be in churches today?

Okay... Back to reading.
