Music

Eph. 5:19 (NIV)
Speak to one another with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord,

God has blessed our church with an outstanding lead worshipper in Pastor Gabe Dunlap. After traveling with Brother's Keeper for 8 years and several top 10 songs on the Christian charts, he settled down and has been a tremendous blessing to our church. He is constantly developing the music program, both with the kids and with the adults. He has stretched our congregation even in the variety and quality of the music we sing. I say this about Gabe because he is not only an accomplished singer, but he is a talented song writer. God willing this Sunday we will sing a song he wrote in response to last Sunday's message. "I'm Gonna' Live Like You are God," came from a phrase I used in my conclusion and is a great truth that Gabe has made into music. The making of music should be differentiated from that of singing music we already know. God is a God of revelation and music is one of the greatest mediums to display a revelation from God. When God reveals himself to us, we should speak to one another by making music. Don't be afraid today to make up your own little jingle of what God is revealing to you.
