How many Saved Sanctified organist do we have in LGM

[iplaytheorgan2]

I want to ask all the musicians especially COGIC organist

You are right on point, I've been preaching this to the musicians in my area (Newark, NJ).   If you ain't living nothing, then it's all "sounding brass and tinkling cymbal"
I have a question though, why do you specify "COGIC"??  Do you mean organist that play with the cogic style or pentecostal flavor??  I am not COGIC (Church of God In Christ), I am a church organist that happens to be an Evangelist and Minister for the Lord, who is saved and sanctified.  I do attend a church that came out of COGIC, but we are non-denominational. 

Please enlighten me so I can understand..  ...Thanks

LOL..I think you meant "key word"??  Ok..I understand.  So my next question is, are COGIC musicians loosing focus on the purpose that they were called to do?

You said exactly what I was thinkin...

Seen alot of stuff in the COGIC music church environments.  Seen times where the choir and praise and worships have been setup to a point of exaltation and then a musician gets up a walks to the bathroom or goes IM'n on the phone.  I'm like comeon cuz, that sometimes can throw a whole damper on the service, and that's when I realize that were we have lost our focus and not just specifically in COGIC but any church.  However, I was making specific reference to COGIC musicians because I have seen some of the most gifted and annointed young men and women of God in this denomination and it's is no coincidence.

I feel your pain. Musicians have to be senitive and sincere to the flow of God that's in the house.

I'm somewhat there and have struggles like EVERYONE on here. However i can't stand folks that try to act like they just got it together when you can see right through them. When you try to have a conversation you get these type of responses all the time "oh bless the lord my brotha", etc when your just trying to have small talk. We all know someone like this.

I know I'm late, but put me on the list.  This is the same word that God is speaking over here in Arkansas.  He doesn't want us (not only as musicians, but as MINSTRELS) to lose focus.  It's too critical now and we must take on the responsibility to usher the people into that intimate place with God.  I know we have chords and runs that just make their spirits happy, but what happens when the song is over and you've been given your props?  Can you really give God the glory when you didn't really lead the people to Him through your playing?  I just want to encourage you to not lose focus.  We have a purpose in the music ministry first to Exalt Him and when we exalt Him, He blesses the people.  Stay in the face of God for direction and even phatter chords and just remember to give Him all Glory, Honor, and Praise.

I KNOW IM LATE, LATE BUT IM GLAD TO BE SAVED, AND SANCTIFIED.  MUSICIANS DONT UNDERSTAND THAT MUSIC FOR US IS LIKE A MIRROR IF YOU ALLOW GOD TO COME IN AND CHANGE AND REARRANGE THE NECESSITIES OF OUR LIVES THEN WE PLAYIN IN VAIN AND ITS UGLY TO GOD.  THE BIBLE SPEAKS OF PEOPLE WHO OFFERED STRANGE FIRE OR SACRIFICES TO GOD AND THEY WERE EVEN KILLED.  I UNDERSTAND WHAT U MEAN BY THE COGIC...  FOR INSTANCE DID ANYBODY SEE THOSE FOOLS IN MEMPHIS LAST YEAR WITH THE TAMBORINES AT THE MIDNIGHT MUSICAL...LOL
