Does God want every Christian to sing?

It depends. If singing were an issue of training, technique, vocal range, comfort, or preference, most of us would be wise to keep our mouths shut. The world would be a more pleasant and happier place.  Why sing when so many are more gifted and seem to enjoy it more than we do?

Here’s why. Your voice, along with all the other voices in your church, has been redeemed by the Savior.  As we sing, he presents our song to the Father for his glory and our joy. “The human voice, given over to Jesus, and found in company with other voices given over similarly, produces a dignified and worthy song from storefront church to cathedral,” says Harold Best. “Singing is not an option for the Christian; no one is excused. Vocal skill is not a criterion.”

No one is excused. Not even those with zero musical ability.  The critical question is not Do I have a voice? but Do I have a song? And if you’re a true worshiper, forgiven and reconciled to God through the atoning work of Christ, the answer is a a resounding yes.  It’s not a song we originated or created.  We can’t add to it, change it, or improve upon it.  It’s the song of the redeemed for their great Redeemer.

It’s a song we were never meant to sing alone.  And it’s a song God’s people have been singing together for thousands of years.   ——  Bob Kauflin,  author of True Worshipers

Acappella concerts feature such unique combinations of talent, that at any given concert you may find a line-up of vocalists in their 20's, 30's, 40's and 50's, singing the familiar (and new) songs of their world-impacting ministry.  The diversity of this pool of talented music ministers is one of the strengths of Acappella. Why not consider booking an Acappella concert for your next fund-raiser or outreach event?

Acappella will be appearing March 5th in Detroit, Michigan.  The powerful and talented pool of vocalists that comprise Acappella Ministries is amazingly versatile.  Last year, we posted videos that include Ken McCalpin, Brishan Hatcher, Aaron Herman, Robin Brannon and many others.

For the first three concerts of 2016,  counting last month's fabulous Singing at Sea, the Acappella roster includes:  Anthony Lancaster, Wes McKinzie, George Pendergrass, Robert Guy, Jeremy Swindle, Rodney Britt, Jabbarri Jones, Keith Lancaster, Zach Wilson, Kevin Schaffer, Wayburn Dean, Steve Maxwell and Gary Moyers.  God has certainly blessed these men with a desire to share God's message through song.

We are praying that for many decades to come, if the Lord tarries, Acappella will continue ministering through like-minded musicianaries, some yet to be born --- using only their hearts and harmonized voices to spread God's love.  Thank you for praying for and sharing this ministry with others!
