Why does Moriah sing acappella (without instrumental accompaniment)?
• We believe musical instruments to be an addition to the worship of God. Repeatedly, we find instruction to sing in the church, but never to play. We distinguish between an addition to the worship of God and an aid to worship. Song books aid our singing, whereas a piano is an addition to song. A communion plate aids in the distribution of bread, whereas leaven is an addition. A microphone aids in the preaching of the Word, whereas a Sunday school teacher is an addition.
