The February edition of the Christian Chronicle (http://www.christianchronicle.org/) has a very informative story about a dialogue beginning to take place between the a cappella Churches of Christ and the Christian Church/Churches of Christ (instrumental), also known as independent Christian Churches.
This is an effort, according to the article, to discuss differences as well as discuss items both groups have in common. Discussion is a positive move when groups have the same purpose and goals. The main concern that I feel will continue to keep both groups apart is the instrumental worship aspect. I truly believe that this will probably split the Church of Christ once again during the next few years. I love our a cappella heritage.
I believe with all my heart that God intended for man to use his heart as the true instrument in worship to Him. We need to sing and make music in our hearts to God.
I have seen a spirit of true worship that has taken place at Central the past few months. It’s not in new songs or videos or more scripture in our service. It’s the attitude and participation by the body that has enabled us to actually come into His presence. I want that to continue. I want to see Jesus lifted up in our praise and in our communion as a family.
Remember it’s not about me (Thanks Carl) it’s about HIM!
