A little Tchaikovsky in the morning is enough to make me happy some days, I've noticed. I never realized how much I enjoy the Nutcracker Suite until I was humming along with it on my walk this morning. The thing with Tchaikovsky is that his music is just so darn interesting--so much going on in it, that it is pleasing to the ear. I love orchestral music for that reason. I love rock music too, but for different reasons than I love classical music. I get all my musical needs met by listening to many genres of music (about the only genre I don't listen to at all is death metal).
Anyhow, continuing on in this study of Biblical music that I've been on, the last use of music listed in in this word study is for dedication services. In 2 Chronicles 5:11-13, Solomon was bringing the Ark of the Lord's covenant from the City of David to its place in the Temple. "Then the priests left the Holy Place. All the priests who were present had purified themselves, whether or not they were on duty that day. And the Levites who were musicians--Asaph, Heman, Jeduthun, and all their sons and brothers--were dressed in fine linen robes and stood at the east side of the altar playing cymbals, harps, and lyres. They were joined by 120 priests who were playing trumpets. The trumpeters and singers performed together in unison to praise and give thanks to the Lord. Accompanied by trumpets, cymbals, and other instruments, they raised their voices and praised the Lord with these words: 'He is so good! His faithful love endures forever!' At that moment a cloud filled the Temple of the Lord."
Notice a couple of things here: first, nobody argued over what kind of music they would  play!!!  Of all the disagreements that go on in today's church, this has got to be on of the silliest, but also one that causes too many problems. It shouldn't matter what genre of music we're performing as long as we are wholeheartedly worshiping God. I've actually seen arguments over the internet that only vocal music is acceptable to God because there is no mention of instrumental music used in services in the New Testament. The major problem with that argument is that it seems to be saying that there is no need for the Old Testament anymore because Christ's death and resurrection cancel it out. Here's the thing, though: to fully understand the whole Gospel message, you need to know the whole story, which begins in the Old Testament. If you only read the New Testament, you have an incomplete picture of the Gospel. One needs to know about man's fallen nature, and God's plan for the redemption of mankind. So I say that if it was okay for King David to play instruments and sing before the Lord, than it should certainly be okay for us as long as it is wholehearted worship.
