Purpose of Music in the Church

Because of readers' interest, I like to post something from time to time on music and singing. The following directs you to some articles on church music.

In Purpose of Music in the Church, Paul Foltz writes (found in Grace Notes, Newsletter of Grace For All Publications):

The Word of God presents only two purposes for music in the church:
1. that of worshiping and praising God;
2. that of edifying the saints.
There are well over 800 references to music and its use in the Bible...We have no command or example from the Scriptures for music to be used for any other purpose.
