Music is not of the devil, as you apparently seem to think.

Music does not force people to sin as you apparently think.

David stripped to his loin cloth and danced in the street singing praises to God.

How is that you do not know that.

Praise and worship is not sin.


Amos ch 5
21
I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not smell in your solemn assemblies.

22
Though ye offer me burnt offerings and your meat offerings, I will not accept them: neither will I regard the peace offerings of your fat beasts.


23
Take thou away from me the noise of thy songs; for I will not hear the melody of thy viols.

Psalms 100
1 Make a joyful noise to the LORD, all the earth!
2 Serve the LORD with gladness! Come into his presence with singing!
3 Know that the LORD, he is God! It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise! Give thanks to him; bless his name!
5 For the LORD is good; his steadfast love endures forever, and his faithfulness to all generations.

Psalm 150
1 Praise the Lord.
Praise God in his sanctuary;
praise him in his mighty heavens.
2 Praise him for his acts of power;
praise him for his surpassing greatness.
3 Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet,
praise him with the harp and lyre,
4 praise him with timbrel and dancing,
praise him with the strings and pipe,
5 praise him with the clash of cymbals,
praise him with resounding cymbals.
6 Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.
Praise the Lord.

Ephesians 5:19
Addressing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord with your heart.

Zephaniah 3:17
The Lord your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over you with gladness; he will quiet you by his love; he will exult over you with loud singing.

Psalm 149:3
Let them praise his name with dancing, making melody to him with tambourine and lyre!

Psalm 146:1-2
Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord, O my soul! I will praise the Lord as long as I live; I will sing praises to my God while I have my being.

1 Chronicles 13:8
And David and all Israel were rejoicing before God with all their might, with song and lyres and harps and tambourines and cymbals and trumpets.


You do what you want. I on the other hand will I set my feet to dancing as I sing with a loud voice, while others play tambourines, cymbals, harps, lyres, strings, pipes and trumpets!
