Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.~ Colossians 3:16
It’s perfect!
If they get away with this evil they will not stop there.
Example of civil disobedience from Daniel...hero of the faith.
Daniel 6:4-10:
“...Then the presidents and princes sought to find occasion against Daniel concerning the kingdom; but they could find none occasion nor fault; forasmuch as he was faithful, neither was there any error or fault found in him.
Then said these men, We shall not find any occasion against this Daniel, except we find it against him concerning the law of his God.
Then these presidents and princes assembled together to the king, and said thus unto him, King Darius, live for ever.
All the presidents of the kingdom, the governors, and the princes, the counsellors, and the captains, have consulted together to establish a royal statute, and to make a firm decree, that whosoever shall ask a petition of any God or man for thirty days, save of thee, O king, he shall be cast into the den of lions.
Now, O king, establish the decree, and sign the writing, that it be not changed, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which altereth not.
Wherefore king Darius signed the writing and the decree.
Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house; and his windows being open in his chamber toward Jerusalem, he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime.”
I just LOVE that part LOL!
I’m not surprised
Dsd,
I think from these articles/WHO-sponsored research.

While singing you generate lots of the very small (<2.5um) particles called aerosols. Those are large enough to infect and cannot be stopped/filtered by any known mask — even the one you are wearing.
This is why I’ve repeated Rancourt’s article about how such particles bypass all masks.
Genesis 2:7:
"And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul."
We sang louder than ever in our California church today, and will continue to praise our Lord with singing. I would love to hear what other churches in California are doing with this ban to praise our God with singing.
The LORD Himself sang a song of praise (likely the Passover Hallel) along with the disciples before His arrest leading to His crucifixion.
“And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives.” ~Matthew 26:30
How then can we, those He sacrificed Himself for, be silent?!
“Sing to the LORD, bless His name; Proclaim the good news of His salvation from day to day.” ~Psalm 96:2
“Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him: talk ye of all his wondrous works.” ~Psalm 105:2
But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ. But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart.
Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away. Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.
Amen my friend, so so many scriptures about singing unto the Lord. He has put a new song into my heart! That’s why the devil has attacked us on this front, singing to Jesus brings us closer to Him, the devil can’t stand it.
That worship song is a great way to start the day this morning. His mercies are new. Thank you!
Barton is outstanding. Don’t you love how he teaches about U.S. history using artifacts. You can’t argue with that.
P.S. (This link doesn’t have the subtitles on the song I pinged you.)
:)
Besides all this, God created singing as a health benefit. All the more worship must multiply these benefits greatly in the LORD blessing those who bless Him. :)
“11 Surprising Health Benefits of Singing”
“...Singing strengthens the immune system
"...According to research conducted at the University of Frankfurt, singing boosts the immune system. The study included testing professional choir members’ blood before and after an hour-long rehearsal singing Mozart’s “Requiem”. The researchers noticed that in most cases, the amount of proteins in the immune system that function as antibodies, known as Immunoglobulin A, were significantly higher immediately after the rehearsal. The same increases were not observed after the choir members passively listened to music...”
Thank you for the link! I have always thought singing wonderfully healthy, especially singing as unto the Lord. I especially loved the part about singing being a workout for the elderly and disabled. It was the passion of my heart to go to nursing homes and bring praise songs on my powerpoint and have a sing along. It was pure joy to hear the folks join in, some very passionately. Of course, we are no longer allowed to go into nursing homes, and I can’t wait to finally go back!
Liberals like black churches just fine when it comes to campaigning.
