5. A small food processor that holds right around 2 cups. I don't have much kitchen space.
6. A date night with Jeff... no worries on being home on time. A nice dress up supper (more than blue jeans, anyway) and a movie. Maybe afterward a nice warm coffee or something. Just a stress free evening.
We had our annual Youth-Led Worship Service last night. Will was one of many young men that had the opportunity to lead. He chose to lead the song Step by Step and I am such a proud mama!
Step by Step
Oh God, you are my God and I will ever praise you Oh God, you are my God and I will ever praise you I will seek you in the morning And I will learn to walk in your ways And Step by step you lead me And I will follow you all of my days.
Why Are There No Musical Instruments That Accompany Your Singing?
In short, because we can’t find them in the New Testament. There is no command from Jesus to use instruments in worship. There are no examples of Christians in the New Testament using them in their worship. Mentions of instruments in the Old Testament (such as in the Psalms) are not our standard today (we don’t continue to offer animal sacrifices either). Whenever we do see music mentioned in the context of worship within the New Testament the Bible only mentions singing.
Ephesians 5:19
Speak to one another with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs.
Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord,
Colossians 3:16
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God.
Just reading the New Testament by itself, with no prior assumptions, leaves us with no indication that God has asked for, wants, or accepts anything musically other than our singing together to Him. (Borrowed from here, although it's not where I attend.)
