IS MECHANICAL MUSIC JUSTIFIED?

• A COMMAND?
• NO!
• NO!
• NO! The Scriptures teach us to sing in worship:
• Matthew 26:30 – “SUNG a hymn”
• Acts 16:25 – “SANG praises”
• AN EXAMPLE?
• Romans 15:9 – “SING unto Your name”
• 1 Corinthians 14:15 – “SING with the Spirit and understanding”
• Ephesians 5:19 – “SINGING psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs”
• Colossians 3:16 – “SINGING with grace in your hearts”
• BY INFERENCE?
• NO!
• NO!
• NO!

IS IT SCRIPTURAL?

• Hebrews 2:12 – “In the midst of the church will I SING praise”
• James 5:13 – “Is any merry? Let him SING psalms”
• Mechanical music in worship is sinful because it:
• Violates the principle of faith
• Makes void the Word of God
• Violates God’s specific command
• Rejects Christ’s authority
• Cannot be found in the Gospel of Christ
