Why is music and dance important in church?
But looking at dancing more closely reveals how it is used by different cultures the world over to communicate different aspects of socio-cultural and religious values than mere enjoyment of music. In most churches dancing is used during praise and worship as a tool for expression of delight and joy in the Lord. Dance needs music to set the mood, drop the beat, and create the motivation needed to start moving. Music has that ability to make us feel a certain way, which is why it plays such an immense role in dance. Different styles of music create various types of beats, which all correspond to a specific dance style.
How can dance be used to enhance worship?
Dancers must be able to form their worshipful dance by getting in touch with their faith rather than own feelings. In other words, the importance of the use of dance in our future worship lies in the fact that it should encourage church members to come into the presence of God. Often used as a means to legitimize social organization, religion may employ dance as its agent to convey attitudes about proper social behavior at the same time that it fulfills other purposes and functions. Historically, dance has been an important part of worship for many cultures and religions around the world.
Why do we worship God with music?
Music has a way of piercing into the deep parts of our soul, that assists in our expression and response to God and to the church. Singing helps unites us to the church. The gospel alone unites believers to one another. However, music is a tool that allows us to do so.
What does the Bible say about praise dancing? In Psalms 149:3-4 Let them praise His name with the dance. Let them sing praises to Him with the timbral and harp. For the Lord takes pleasure in His people. He will beautify the humble with Salvation. Furthermore question arise why is music important to Christianity? From Catholics to Jehovah's Witness, music plays an important role in Christian worship and services. Christian music expresses one's personal and communal belief in Jesus Christ and His teachings. It is a way for believers to express their praise, love, and devotion for God. So in the end; can we use modern music in the Church. Maybe new generation like to have and want to try new things.
If the administration and the Spirit of God do not allow this, then programs outside the church for young people must be arranged so that young people can be encouraged and enjoy music.
