By definition, psallo excludes the instrument in worship. At one time it included the instrument but in the NT, the mechanical instrument accompaniment is excluded. God chose a word that excludes the instrument. I believe, by definition, that mechanical instrument accompaniment to singing in worship is specifically forbidden by both definition and approved practice of the early church.
Sociologists claim one seeking to find fellowship wont feel accepted unless he begins to know a minimum of 3 people & attends a min. of 6x. If one hears the true beauty of a well-taught acapella congregation - can he not be moved at the holiness of it? I don't understand our brethren that don't hear the holiness of it. Lets pray to have congregations that sing together well. txtallsinger@aol.com

Cory Collins has done an excellent job in telling us reasons not to worship with the instrument. I highly recommend him and his book.
Thanks Cory for this article!

So, after reading this lengthy sermon, on why we shouldn’t use musical instruments in church worship. I just have one question...why not use them?
