Acts 16
25 And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them.
How do we communicate with God? And how does God communicate with us? How do we communicate with other Christians? One way is through music. God gives us the gift to sing, and we sing our hearts out. Then again, sometires it's just good to hear an old gospel song.
An Example
The church I go to, I love the singing, I can feel the Spirit in the singing. And, it's just a small group of saved sinners, God fearing I'm sure, and a piano.
Another example
My my mother had Altzhimers in her later years. In her last year we would watch the Gaithers on TV. I'll never know for sure, she didn't have much of a mind, but I think this was one of her favorite Gaither songs.
WHEN ALL OF GOD'S SINGERS GET HOME
Luther G. Presley; Virgil O. Stamps (Gaither Homecoming Hour)
What a song of delight in that City so bright
Will be wafted 'neath Heaven's fair dome!
How the ransomed will raise happy songs in His praise,
When all of God's singers get home!
When all of God's singers get home,
Where never a sorrow will come;
There'll be "no place like home,"
When all of God's singers get home.
As We sing here on earth, songs of sadness or mirth,
'Tis a foretaste of rapture to come.
But our joy can't compare with the glory up there,
When all of God's singers get home!
Having overcome sin, "Hallelujah, AMEN!"
Will be heard in that land o'er the foam;
Every heart will be light and each face will be bright--
When all of God's singers get home!
Question
What does God really think of Southern Gospel Music?
