Congregational singing is important for our gatherings, but the New Testament doesn’t call that “worship.”

Nope, not, nada …

Just ain’t there.

Rather, the New Testament says that living lives of obedient submission and sacrificial service to God …

Is true worship.

When we say that singing and music are “worship,” however, rather than teach what worship truly is under the New Covenant …

We often end up with carnal churches and carnal people seeking a Sunday morning “worship experience” rather than living holy lives in humble obedience and service to God.

So let’s encourage one another by joyfully singing God’s praises congregationally together when we gather, as the New Testament commands …

While also learning to walk in true worship the rest of the week.

Because when all is said and done, the terminology of the New Testament never tells us to gather for a “worship service” …

But to gather for mutually building up each other so we can live lives of service, 24/7.
