CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Last Lord's Day the piano and guitars cut out and the congregation sang without any accompaniment. It was absolutely beautiful. You really can't appreciate it until you try it and experience it in worship.

I have been to enough churches on either side of this issue to conclude that instrumental accompaniment can be a positive thing or a negative thing. If a congregation is composed of tone-deaf folks committed to making a "joyful noise to the Lord" the cacophany can even drown out the loudest instruments. On the other hand, too frequently I have observed large congregations who silently listen to the musical performance of the instrumentalist(s) and/or choir (aka worship team).

On the "scale of certainty" I'm an 8. I really see a lot of problems in the modern church over music style and instruments. A fellow was just telling me he wants to add electric music to their worship but people are up in arms about it. Just sing the dam song already... lol
