…that it is the command of God that all should sing….Those therefore who have musical faculties and neglect to improve them are living in sin, for it is an ordinance of God’s worship in which all are commanded to join” (p. 198).
Dr. Kauffman has often remarked that it’s not impossible for anyone to learn how to sing, it’s natural, it’s part of being human, it’s wired into the brain. “Living in sin” sounds pretty harsh for an average churchgoer that “just doesn’t sing.” But singing is an experience that edifies oneself by preaching the gospel, edifies the body by hearing one another’s words and being united, and glorifies God by obeying his command to sing.
