Oops of the Day

God never authorized use of musical instruments to worship him. 

I Chronicles 25:1;  II Chronicles 29:25-30;  II Chronicles 30:21;   II Chronicles 34:12-13;   Nehemiah 12:27-28, 36;  Ephesians 5:19

Fact Of the Day

No! God told Gad David’s seer and Nathan the prophet, to have choirs and a small orchestra in temple worship. But only certain instruments were authorized: Lyres, harps and cymbals. Further, they were to only be played by Levites and had to be played  all day every day during sacrifices at the temple. And the Levites had to be paid enough to live on.  All this was in Old Testament worship.

In Christians worship all Christians (not just Levites) are told to pluck the strings of one instrument – our heart. How beautiful.
