Matthew 11 Come to Me I Will Give you Rest

The Prophets, Jesus, Apostles all taught the Gospel OF the Kingdom or His Church. The kingdom is a Spiritual place to REST as STUDENTS and as a Safe House from the "christianism] of the World, the Kosmos, the Ecumenical or the Kingdom of Satan making war against the Kingdom of God and His anointed Christ.

Churches of Christ who practice "congregational singing" were once very quiet and reverent. even if in my life time never Sang "psalms, hymns and spiritual songs" even when Paul commanded that we SPEAK.  The Greek and Latin literature is careful, both inclusively and exclusively, that "Lexis (speak) is the OPPOSITE of ODE (singing)

The quiet piano or organ has widely been replaced by a small band and worship team which sings nonsense and rapidly degenerates into what they call "Soft Rock."  I am in contact with a wide variety of clergy and "Teaching and Admonishing" has given way to what they call "musical worship."  My worship is in MY spirit or mind and however powerful a high priced usually bad praise singer just forces everyone to worship (give their attention) to them.

While most elders were asleep, someone broke in, removed his song leader and became "God standing in the holy places of Church Architecture."  Sam is typical of those boasting about "infiltrating and diverting" your old happy place into "a theater for holy entertainment."  And they did it to me--three times.  According to research, that makes me dumber than an earthworm!

A very sudden invasion by profession musicians--at the right time. Jesus said "could you not wait for me for one hour." Jesus just asks for a short time to READ and mutually confess the songs and sermons of God.  Most people have 168 hours a week to entertain and be entertained.

SAM:
Our role as worship leaders is to MINISTER  to the HEART of God Himself
        our worship is about HIM and Him alone.
        We also serve to BLESS those who gather for worship in OUR services
,
        not so that they can walk away “satisfied” or “FILLED” by the MUSIC,   
       
but so that SPACE is created for THEM to encounter the living God

SAM claims to be God standing in his holy place.

1.  God is not worshipped in HOUSES built by human hands.
2.  God is not worshipped by the WORKS of human hands. [pointing, clapping, picking and grinning]
3.  First Corinthians 1 explaining Isaiah 33 denies that there will be any podiums or counters of shekals

Most of us grew up with preachers who never got rich or famous who made certain that he fed only the Word of God.  However,  when pitiful music takes the church captive Scripture and all of history marks the imposer is a sorcerer.

Clement.of.Alexandria.Exhortation.to.the.Heathen
Again, the same writer of comedy, expressing his dissatisfaction with the common usages, tries to expose the impious arrogance of the prevailing error in the drama of the Priestess, sagely declaring:-

"If a man drags the Deity
Whither he will by the sound of cymbals,
He that does this is greater than the Deity;
But these are the instruments of audacity and means of living
Invented by men."

Ephesians 5 says be filled with the WILL of the Lord or SPIRIT.
Galatians 3 says be filled with the WORD of Christ.
Jesus said in John 6:63 "My WORDS which I SPEAK are SPIRIT and LIFE.

All words translated SPIRIT mean WIND and figurative or as a PARABLE a BREATH
With no exception God puts His WORDS into the MOUTH of a Moses, the Prophets and Lastly Jesus of Nazareth.
SAM etal is not a Prophet or Jesus.  Jesus put His WORDS or SPIRIT into the ears of the APOSTLES ONLY.
Men are increasingly claiming and silencing Elders who must go because they keep on "firing us." WE must be Apostles and Prophets because WE hear A spirit.  The only personified SPIRITUS is Apollyon.

SAM speaking for men who have been trained and IMPOSED by universities:

But you, worship leader—you know (or at least you ought to know) where you are LEADING them. Ours is not a role of “forcing worship” upon OUR people.
It is merely PROMPTING them out of the sheep pen
and into a space where the kingdom of God does its transformative work within them.

Sam wants you out of the SheepFold of Jesus by claiming that his "works of human hands" now has the right to lead you into the World, the Kosmos, the Ecumenical or the Kingdom of Satan.

Be aware that there is nothing in Scripture which we would call tuneful "music.  There is no example of an assembly of the Godly Jews-which were quarantined from the Civil-Military-Clergy at the Temple--engaging in group singing with or without instrumets.

All Scripture can be sung to a one or two note melody if the text is broken into syllables. The castrated opera singers the pope brought to the Sistine Chapel (Cappella) began chanting to the same note.

A cappella In the 19th century, a renewed interest in Renaissance polyphony coupled with an ignorance of the fact that vocal parts were often doubled by instrumentalists led to the term coming to mean unaccompanied vocal music. Gregorian chant is an example of a cappella singing, as is the majority of secular vocal music from the Renaissance.
The polyphony of Christian a cappella music began to develop in Europe around the late 15th century AD, with compositions by Josquin des Prez.[4] The early a cappella polyphonies may have had an accompanying instrument, although this instrument would merely double the singers' parts and was not independent. By the 16th century, a cappella polyphony had further developed,

Music.  Cantillation signs guide the READER in applying a chant to Biblical READINGS. This chant is technically regarded as a ritualized form of SPEECH intonation rather than as a musical exercise like the singing of metrical hymns: for this reason Jews always speak of saying or reading a passage rather than of singing it. (In Yiddish the word is leynen 'read', derived from Latin legere, giving rise to the Jewish English verb "to leyn".)

Theology among the Greeks was the religion of Apollo, Apollon, Apollyon or Abaddon: This was the SERVICE of the Jacob-Cursed and God-Abandoned Levites and a church near you.

THE FULFILLMENT OF THE GOSPEL

Matthew 11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

Jesus called the Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites. In the Ezekiel 33 example Christ named speakers, singers and instrument players.  Almost always they performed for the burden or "a tax not in time of war."  Christ in Isaiah 55 says that we should not be burdened by using our food money for the free water of the Word. Now, all theatrical and musical performers feel a bit inspired and they think that we should put the same value on them. However, religious performers especially sacrificial musicians were called parasites.

Isaiah.55.Word.Spirit

Restoring the Old Paths: Isaiah 58 is referenced by Paul in Romans 15: it outlaws seeking your own pleasure or SPEAKING your own words.

We are all tired from making a living and need a day of REST.  There is no role for an institution to consume all of your rest time and all of your "spare" money for which there is "no law of tithing or giving."

Don't get drunk with wine before you SPEAK the Scriptures.

Ath.14.631d
  [626] First of all, Greeks, the comrades brave of Pelops
  Sang over their wine, in Phrygian melody, 
  The praises of the mighty Mountain Mother
  But others, striking the shrill strings of the lyre, 
  Gave forth a Lydian hymn."  
And it is on this account that the Lacedaemonians, who are a most valiant nation, go to war to the music of the flute, and the Cretans to the strains of the lyre, and the Lydians to the sound of pipes and flutes, as Herodotus relates [ 1.17 ].

        And, moreover, many of the barbarians make all their public proclamations
        to the accompaniment of flutes and harps,
        softening [Sorcery] the souls of their enemies by these means.
And Theopompus, in the forty-sixth book of his History, says - "
        The Getae make all their proclamations
        while holding harps in their hands and playing on them.
        And it is perhaps on this account that Homer,
        having due regard to the ancient institutions and customs of the Greeks, says [ Od_8.99 ] - 
          I hear, what graces every feast, the lyre ;   - as if this art of music were welcome also to men feasting.

  Thus the blest gods the genial day prolong 
  In feasts ambrosial and celestial song
  Apollon tuned the lyre, - the Muses round,
  With voice alternate, aid the silver sound.

JESUS CAME TO GIVE REST AFTER BEING TIRED BY ANY KIND OF CEREMONIAL LEGALISM CLAIMING SCRIPTURE AUTHORITY.

Rest is:

Anapauo (g373) an-up-ow'-o; from 303 and 3973; (reflex.) to repose (lit. or fig. [be exempt], remain); by impl. to refresh:- take ease, refresh, (give, take) rest.

Anapausis (g372) an-ap'-ow-sis; from 373; intermission; by impl. recreation:- rest. When you hear people yelling for you to do this here religious program, it is not God. Believe me. I tell my folks that they are reloading me with the burden Jesus died to remove just by anouncing (and anouncing and anouncing) all of those "busy" programs. All good of course, but not added to our "to do list" by Jesus.

So, you have heard it straight from Jesus:"Go enjoy an ice cream cone, sleep late, go for a long walk in the forest or along the beach, and just relax."

Pauo means stop the polemos or battle, fight, war: stop levying war against another, anaireisthai or airô egeirein, kathistanai, epagein to begin a war; p. poieisthai to make war, -- opp. to p. anapauein, kataluesthai to put an end to it, make peace, all in attic

Euripides, Heracles (ed. E. P. Coleridge)  Never will I cease to link in one the Graces and the Muses, [675] sweetest union. Never may I live among uneducated boors, but ever may I find a place among the crowned! [680] Yes, still the aged singer lifts up his voice of bygone memories: still is my song of the triumphs of Heracles, whether Bromius the giver of wine is near, or the strains of the seven-stringed lyre and the Libyan pipe are rising; [685] not yet will I cease to sing the Muses' praise, my patrons in the dance.
