Harold Best's article was like a breath of fresh air to me. Among all the different thoughts on church music, I believe his could be the most helpful to the church today. In his very articulate way, Best has identified many problem spots for church music, and has given great Biblical responses to them.
One of the errors he identifies in in the area of planning. I think Best is right in asserting that the church has, in many ways, focused so much on the present, that we have given no thought to the future and the effect our current choices will have on the next generation. I do believe that sometimes we concentrate on getting what we want immediately, which causes us to use "solutions" that are temporary at best, bandages that, once used, are discarded and are of no further use. I think that the church needs to think about the solutions they are implementing in, and send much time searching the scriptures for the qualifications that God puts on worship, and then see if our modes and models reflect them.
