I) We must sing, addressing one another and so admonish and encourage fellow saints (v. 19a)

No instrument in worship,, right? Our heart is the instrument.

[@markwarren6298]

Instruments are used all throughout scripture to praise God. Psalm 150 is a good example.

The KJB states, make melody ‘in your heart’ to the LORD. The problem I see is that many churches use musical instruments during worship. When they play the piano to make music and melody, the piano they are playing to make the melody is not in their heart, as the piano doesn’t comes from in their heart.
