1 Chronicles 10-23

I know, I know...you were all waiting on pins and needles wondering why I didn't post last night. I did finish my reading but I did not have internet last night. We took a very spontaneous trip to St. Louis and stayed in one of those nicer hotels that doesn't have free wifi. I never get that? Why is it that the budget hotels give you the internet, but the nice ones don't? Oh well...

I had a good friend in high school who went to a non-instrumental Church of Christ. We got into a lot of good discussions and at that time I didn't understand all the ins and outs of churches and some of their differences. I still have a hard time seeing how the non-instrumental folk land in that camp. In 1 Chronicles 15 alone we see talk of bronze cymbals, harps, lyres, and trumpets. Their argument is that none of this is restated in the New Testament, and I guess they're right...but really? Why would instrumental music all the sudden be condemned? And is it really that bad?
