Quote from Vaughn Roberts

"If music could take us into God's presense, God would have sent us a musician rather than a Savior."

It is not through music that we are ushered into the presense of God. It is only through the shed blood of Christ that we are brought near to God.

Yes, music can be used as a tool in our worship, but we must be careful that we do not give our music inappropriate esteem. Music can be used as a means of worship, but it is not the only means. Worship can happen in simple quiet meditation, scripture reading, washing the dishes, shoveling the sidewalk, playing the guitar, or any other daily activity that we do. These activities, if done according to 1 Corinthians 10:31, are all acts of worship.
