Tradition or Truth? The Battle Over Worship in the Church

Free for All Friday: Unpacking Instrumental Music in Worship and Biblical Interpretation

In this episode of Cogitations, Tony Brewer dives into the intricacies of worship and doctrine within the Church of Christ. The discussion kicks off with some technical issues but quickly delves into a thoughtful analysis of the debate over instrumental music in worship, exploring biblical texts like Jude, Zechariah, and the writings of Paul. Tony also addresses false equivalences and the dangers of liberalism within the church, focusing on real-world examples of congregations introducing instrumental services alongside traditional a cappella worship. The episode concludes with an open call for community engagement and moderation assistance in online Christian groups.
