In this episode, Arnie and Fred answer a number of questions from listeners concerning instrumental music in worship. People who visit a church of Christ wonder why there are no organs, pianos or other musical instruments. People sometimes say that they don't know of a passage that forbids the use of instruments in worship. We note what the Bible says about the silence of the scriptures. Some people say that instruments would help to establish the pitch and rhythm of the songs. Some  wonder why instruments aren't used now, since they were common in the Old Testament as guided by the prophets at that time. Also, we have been asked why is it wrong to use instruments in worship in church, but OK at home? Finally, many note that instruments are recorded in Revelation being used in heaven. So why can't we use them in worship now? We discuss what the Bible says about these questions. Have your Bible handy and listen in for about 30 minutes on our conversation.
