In a day and age where music is everywhere, it should be important to those of us who are true believers to know what is and what is not worship. Sadly, many churches use music as a means to entertain their congregations before we have to get to that “sermon part” again.

In fact, I would posit that if churches were to announce that they are only going to pray and have a time of preaching/teaching that many congregations would disappear.

However, there are a few who believe that music is actually worship and that each in attendance is worshiping from the heart when they sing praises to God.

In this message from January 2016, Pastor John MacArthur addresses this topic faithfully from Ephesians 5 as his text.
