Why aren't we singing?

    In this video, the man talks about how he noticed that more and more people these days refuse to sing during worship at church. He said that he's making the assumption that singing during a time of worship is a good thing. It even says in the Bible to sing to the Lord and make a joyful noise back to God. He recognizes that some people choose not to sing because the song is too difficult to sing. The man says that we must ask ourselves wether the songs we pick for worship are suitable for the people of the congregation. Another factor, he considers, is that many people think of worship like a concert or performance. This, however, is not worship is about. Worship is about everyone in the church bringing something to praise God. He concludes that at the end of worship, we must direct all the attention on God.
     I like how the man says that each individual in the church should bring something for worship. Worship isn't meant to be a performance or concert. Many people think that as long as the band is singing and they are listening, they are worshipping God. But this is not how worship should be. Worship is about everyone, including the congregation, bringing their own voices and/or instruments to praise God. My main take away from this is that worship isn't about receiving praise, it's about offering praise.
