What music do you listen to?

What do you feel the Bible has to say about the Church?
​The bible has a great deal to say about the church, but these things stand out:

• The Church is the Body of Christ on the Earth. (1 Cor 12:27) The Church serves as the “incarnation” of Jesus in this world today, through which He works to fulfill his redemptive mission.
• The Church has the “Keys to the Kingdom.” (Matt 16:19) The Key is the gospel of Jesus Christ. With the gospel, the church has the ability and responsibility to turn the power of God loose in the world by preaching the gospel.
• The Church’s mission is to “make disicples of all nations.” (Matthew 28:19-20) There is no “plan B” for reaching the world.
• If the world generally and our nation specifically will be changed, it must start with God’s people, the church. (2 Chron 7:14)

Too many types to list here, honestly.  I love many styles of music.  Some that I can list off the top of my head are: The Gaither Vocal Band, Travis Cottrell, Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir, Jonas Kaufmann, Placido Domingo, Franco Corelli, Guy Penrod, David Phelps, Larnelle Harris, and Israel Houghton.

What do you feel the Bible has to say about worship?
Revelation 12:7-11 says quite a great deal.  Honestly, it’s simple.  Our lives should be a continuous act of worship.  Just like an Embassy is a little bit of America a long way from home… our lives and our testimonies should be a little bit of Heaven a long way from home.  This is worship.
