Show(wo)manship & Emotions (kinda long)

Dear Brother,

In response to the above mentioned subject I would like to say that
music has a lot of power.  Satan is aware of it as well.  We can see
what Rock Music is doing to young people today.

In the Church however I have to agree with you that not all people
worship in the spirit some do with their own emotions and sentiments and
get caught up in it.  

I can agree with you on the experiment because I'm an organist and tried
the same a couple of months ago only to realise that I should not fool
with the ability God has given me and the worship of saints.

I don't know but it is my peronal thinking that one should do what the
spirit of God makes them do.  The Bible gives us many examples as you
must be aware of people singing, dancing, clapping, shouting in the
spirit.  I believe that if the spirit of God says shout then shout! If
clap then clap - so on and so forth.

God bless you brother as you endeavour to worship the Lord.

In HIS love,

Vinessa D'Sa

I was sharing with someone last nite that I proved this to someone once.
I was on the drums and another kid was playing the bass...I explained to
him how "shouting and dancing" is simply an emotional response to God's
goodness, and had nothing to do with having the Holy Ghost. 

Seems that people think that the Holy Ghost makes you shout and
dance...so right in church, I did an experiment...I told the bass player
to go along with me...so when the emotions started to elevate, we began
playing "shouting music"...they shouted as long as we

(Suff. Bishop Dr. Horace E.Smith, Chicago, IL) once stated that he's
been in church long enough that he could fool people if he wanted
to...he knows the mood to create, and how to create it...
..but we can't fool ourselves, nor can we fool God.
