Comments on: The Use Of Shofars In Modern Worship http://shofarhorn.com/archives/the-use-of-shofars-in-modern-worship Information About The Shofar Horn And The Great Mysteries That It Signifies Wed, 05 May 2010 18:32:59 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Ken Tamplin http://shofarhorn.com/archives/the-use-of-shofars-in-modern-worship/comment-page-1#comment-46 Ken Tamplin Tue, 30 Mar 2010 02:36:52 +0000 http://shofarhorn.com/?p=119#comment-46 I think using Shofars is really cool btw... I would love like to see Christians to take our singing and playing craft more seriously. We seem to have fallen in to a rutt of "campfire music / singing" and though there is nothing wrong with that (for people 16 and under) this seems to keep getting spoonfed to the church as "great modern worship." Paul said when I was a child I spoke as a child I reasoned as a child etc. but when I became older, I put away childish things." I wish we could do that. Also: David played skillfully before the Lord. Old testament singers & musicians were hand picked by by their talents first and then weeded out by their dedication to God (because they had so many people "trying out" that were skillfull, they could afford to do that). Nowadays what we do is we pull in anyone "who's heart is right" and leave out the talent part altogether. Paul said to run the race for the victor's crown. The bible instructs us to study to show ourselves approved. Yes of course it means to study scripture but also to strive for excellence in all we do. I'm not in any way trying to eclipse the holy consecration of one's self unto our creator in an abject posture of total surrender and holy communion unto our Lord, but I would so love to see the church take God seriously as though they are playing before a King, rather than it be "just good enough." -KT I think using Shofars is really cool btw… I would love like to see Christians to take our singing and playing craft more seriously.

You can download a book there called, Hearing Shofar: The Still Small Voice of the Ram's Horn, a compendium of shofar-related information and wisdom.

We still have a teachable moment (if fleeting) to tell the story of Shofar. Its influence on prayer and its historical antecedents going back to the Temple sacrifices.

It's nice to see more ancient and modern things juxtaposed together. In a more traditional way, we used the shofar recently to open up last season's first Sunday in Lent. It made a powerful statement. More shofars, I say! Zac Pretty amazing! It’s nice to see more ancient and modern things juxtaposed together.
