The use of instrumental music in church goes back to the earliest days of Old Testament writing. There are quite a number of psalms which refer to the playing of musical instruments in acts of worship Psalm 150 is a particularly good example:

"Praise him with trumpets. Praise him with harps and lyres. Praise him with drums and dancing. Praise him with harps and flutes. Praise him with cymbals. Praise him with loud cymbals."

In Psalm 149 we read:

"Play drums and harps in praise of him."

Elsewhere, we read of women using tambourines whilst dancing in worship. The fact is that in Old Testament days the use of instrumental music was widespread. People of that time were very exuberant and demonstrative in their ways of worship.

In more recent times, indeed for several centuries, the vast majority of instrumental music in church has been the exclusive province of the organ.

There is no doubt that a good organist playing a good organ in a large cathedral is a thrilling sound which greatly enhances worship. However, this isn't the only form of instrumental music which finds its way into churches these days.

Many acts of contemporary worship are led by worship bands of one kind or another. This really is a throwback to the Old Testament times mentioned above. Ever since the early 1960's there has been an increasing use of contemporary music styles and idioms in worship which inevitably draws in the instruments which we associate with that kind of popular music. Contemporary worship bands today are usually built around the playing of guitars, drum kit, saxophones, trumpets, etc. which are particularly appropriate for the expression of contemporary worship songs.

Apart from the accompaniment of hymns and worship songs, instrumental music in church can be used very effectively for the creation of atmosphere. Many Christians are used to the soft playing of the organ during the offering or as underscoring to Communion. I even encountered a church some years ago where the lights were dimmed and the organ played softly beneath the voice of the preacher as he led the congregation in prayer.

The use of other appropriate instruments can be most effective too. I. myself, used a flute and violin to underscore a meditation in a Service of Remembrance which I was leading a couple of years ago. I have used a similar technique in an Easter Service too. On each occasion the feedback from the congregation was most encouraging. If it is done with taste, this approach can be most effective.

The issue always with the use of music in church is that it must enhance worship and not detract from it. So long as that criteria is met, instrumental music in church can be used in many different ways. It can be used simply to accompany singing or to create atmosphere or, as with early liturgical music, act as a framework around which the other aspects of worship are woven. Of course, if it is to enhance the worship experience of a congregation, it must be well prepared and well done. Poor instrumental music in church is like poor hymns or unimaginative worship songs. Instead of enhancing the worship experience it will have quite the opposite effect.

Europeans and Americans drink coffee like it is going out of style. Coffee is a popular social tool that has been around since any of us can remember. The popularity growth in coffee consumption has prompted many growers to experiment with how they grow coffee, especially in recent years when it has been proven that fertilizer does more harm than good. Organic coffee is on the horizon for them now.

Organic coffee - what is it exactly? This is coffee that is grown without using enhancement chemicals. It has been done that way since time before chemical companies intruded. Farmers plant the seeds, irrigate the roots and let the sun do the rest.

The Department of Agriculture has set into motion a crop rotation program. Crop rotation aids the farmer's in coping with the demand of coffee products on the open market, especially organic flavored coffee. One way that organic flavored coffee growers can benefit is by applying to the government for incentives. The agricultural community supports the growing of it wholeheartedly. So much so that they will give benefits to farmers who grow organic. It takes a while to get certified organic but to the coffee grower it is well worth the wait.

As with the majority of organic products, organic coffee takes more time to come to term. This means that organic coffee costs more than your general store brands. In some instances, 12 ounces of organic coffee can be sold for .00 per ounce.

Organic coffee, like other organic or all natural foods, is sold in an entirely different section of your local supermarket. This type of coffee is sold in caffeinated and decaffeinated as well as flavored with vanilla, chocolate hazelnut or anything else you can think of that regular coffee comes in. Organic flavored coffee (like other all-natural products) must contain a seal indicating it is, in fact, organic. This is an FDA classification and cannot be overlooked.

Granted, organic coffee is more expensive than traditional coffee, but the sense of wellness it brings cannot be unmatched. Many brands you find are not made in the US but in countries that support slavery and the use of warlords such as South America or Africa.

Organic coffee prices will go down over the next few years, analysts predict. This is made possible by the crop rotation practices mentioned earlier by avoiding using fertilizers and pesticides.

The use of organic coffee or other products will not allow you to live longer, that is a guarantee that cannot be made. These organic products can help you live healthier lifestyles. Healthier lifestyles can lead to longer life. So the next time that you are in the grocery store or other large food center look at all of the organic food you can buy and realize that you can be feeling better and living a healthier, more enriching life than you were before switching from non-organic foods to organic.

Organic flavored coffee will not disappoint. True it is more expensive but the benefits as well as the flavor more than compensates for the cost.
