began to praise God joyfully with a loud voice

This article has many different arguments. You know where I come out on this. Maybe you don't, site rookie. I come out on the side that the Lord doesn't judge actions in and of themselves, but rather through intention. Your intention is to worship and praise? Don't think He cares whether or not you use voice or kazoo then. Slippery slope toward Willow Creek, intent to serve with no mention of the Lord? Possibly.

Here's the thing. Liar uses this issue to divide the body in the same way he uses issues of politics to divide the brethren. Which is why the first article is heartening. You think drums are the problem when in reality, liar is. Fighting that fight rather than fighting the good fight is all wrong. Save the vehemence and the self-righteousness for when you take down the lions. Until then, shut up and praise.
