Why We Sing
I recently came across an article in a professional magazine for Worship Leaders and thought it was very interesting and worth condensing to share in this issue of The Forerunner.

But that’s not why we sing.

WHY do we sing?
God deserves our praise. We choose to sing. How dare we arrogantly decide that He should not receive something that He declares He wants. Do we know better than He does whether the sound we make is good enough when He says it is? Who are we to judge our worship – when that right belongs only to Him.
So – you have reason to sing!
