“Sing
to the Lord a new song.” Psalms 96:1a NIV
Since
I’ve helped lead worship in churches for over 20 years, the beginning of Psalm
96 holds special meaning for me – and perhaps for you too!
From
this verse, I believe that God encourages creativity. While there’s nothing
wrong with the old song we’ve sung a hundred times, God wants us to stretch out
a little – try something new.
Check
out if there’s a different style of music, perhaps a new rhythm that could
serve as a bridge to help the next generation connect with the God of their
fathers.
Remember
that while the genre of music can change, the theology never changes. God is amenable
to a variety of musical styles, but unbendable when it comes to the law, which
is a good thing. We can take God at his word – we can trust God. His ‘yes’
means yes, and his ‘no’ means no. God is truth, and God does not have
alternative facts.
“Let
the heavens rejoice, let the earth be glad.” (v11a)
