OWNER’S DESIGN SAYINGS _________________________________

“30 years in music ministry has taught me to always seek to find God’s choice of songs for your church. If you go after church preferences, you’ll always wind up offending people and miss what God wanted all along for your people.” Danny Von Kanel

“I have always kept one end in view, namely, with all good will to conduct a well - regulated church music to the honor of God” Bach

“As worship leader, when you seek after personal worship as you lead corporately, You will find your people are worshipping also.”

“The Church knew what the psalmist knew: Music praises God. Music is well or better able to praise him than the building of the church and all its decoration; it is the Church's greatest ornament.” Igor Stravinsky


BIBLE SNIPPETS _________________________________________

1 Samuel 10:5 "After that you will go to Gibeah of God, where there is a Philistine outpost. As you approach the town, you will meet a procession of prophets coming down from the high place with lyres, tambourines, flutes and harps being played before them, and they will be prophesying.

Psalm 98:1 Sing to the LORD a new song, for he has done marvelous things;
his right hand and his holy arm have worked salvation for him.

I Corinthians 14:7,8 And even things without life giving sound, whether pipe or harp, except they give a distinction in the sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped? For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?
