Yeah, I think the instruments in worship is a Romans 14 issue. Personally I come from a background that never sang hymns (I think you baptists call us the 7-11 crowd), but since I've been in fellowship with very conservative Mennonite I've learned to appreciate traditional hymns. Hymns are amazing, but it is taking time for me to love them like I do the worship I grew up with. I also listen to a lot of dub reggae (reggae without words for the most part) as well as gospel reggae, and I love to just sing out random words (most of the time scripture) that fit the melody. Truth be told, it is so amazing to worship without singing from a hymn or reading from a projector. The Word just comes out and I find all those Scriptures I've been learning just flow so nicely as I sing and dance to the melody. God is so good, and truly He is worthy of all our praise.
Much Love in Christ Jesus,
Stephen
