The Journey begins! The Complete Church Piano Course: Book One.

We are starting the adventure in improving our capacity of worship by learning how to play the classic hymns on the piano. We got the first book in today and my daughter has already started to work through it. She states it is so far easy and fun.

She is now challenging me to follow suit which I plan to do. It is time to teach an old dog new tricks. I took lessons as a boy but have not retained anything to date so essentially this will be all new for me, sort of...I can only make a joyful noise with my voice so it will be nice to make something more beautiful with my finger tips for our Lord!

We started some time ago to rid our home of music that does not glorify God so we stick only to the old hymns and classical music now in our home. It is amazing how much more melody ministers to one's soul so I can only imagine that it is much more pleasing to our Creator as well!

My lifetime exposure to music has proven to me beyond a doubt that the world  relies too much on rhythm that is sensual and pleasing to the flesh. I find it sad that churches today rely too much on this rhythm to fool people into believing that the pleasing of their flesh is actually spiritual when it is not. Churches should rely on the spirit through melody to praise our God. That is the only way to truly worship Jesus.

Thank you Steven Anderson for this book and we will continue to provide updates on the progress.
