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.  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 at the temple/church building during daily sacrifices.  And they had to be supported completely by the temple/church.  Seen any Levites lately?  All this was in Old Testament worship.  In Christian worship we are told to play on the strings of one instrument – our heart. How beautiful.
