Motab sings songs composed by Evangelic Christians it would be anomaly for Motab to sing song composed by a Mormon

The Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir is directed by Carol Cymbala, the wife of Pastor Jim Cymbala. The 280-voice choir, which for the most part is composed of vocally untrained church members, has recorded three videos, three DVDs and numerous albums, winning five Dove Awards and six Grammy Awards. Their concert venues in New York City have included Carnegie Hall, Radio City Music Hall, and the Madison Square Garden Theater. They also had the honor of singing at the Billy Graham Crusades that were held in New York City’s Central Park and Flushing Meadows Park. The recognition that the choir has received has provided them with a wide open door for ministry in presenting the gospel message through music to people all over the world.


But the choir was not always such a large ensemble. It actually began with nine people in the mid-1970s. Soon the small choir became a vital part of the worship services of The Brooklyn Tabernacle. In the early 1980s Carol felt a desire to make a recording to bless the people of the congregation. When she had trouble finding enough material that would lift up the greatness of God, Carol began to write songs herself. The funds for the production of the first choir recording were raised by the choir members themselves who pre-sold albums to their friends and family members. The choir ended up raising enough funds to cover the rental of a large studio for one night, during which all of the sound tracks, vocals, and solos had to be recorded. What a joy it was for those early choir members to distribute that first album to their friends and loved ones!

After nearly thirty years of recordings and live performances, Carol and the choir continue to rely on the Lord for his grace and direction in their ministry. The Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir is a highly unlikely group of people, a mixture of ethnic and economic backgrounds, in the heart of a city synonymous with coldness and decay. Made up of attorneys and former street people, nurses and ex-crack addicts, the choir is a unique cross section of humanity. Pastor Cymbala explains: “None of us would have met if it weren’t for Christ. Our backgrounds are just too diverse. But all of us have one thing in common: we have all been lifted up and changed by the power of Jesus Christ. So the choir sings, not about a mere theological doctrine, but about what has happened to them. It’s not just the lyrics of a song; it’s a reality to each of them.” Starting each rehearsal with prayer reinforces that principle as the choir asks the Lord to bless their music and anoint their songs for the services.

"I just want to see people drawn to Jesus Christ,” Carol Cymbala says, “I want the music to be the arrow that points them to him."


Notice how Carol Cymbala goals is to draw people to Jesus and not a person like Joseph Smith Jr or Thomas S Monson or some organization

I remember going to a Pentecostal church on my mission one time. They had drums, guitars, accordions etc. They really brought the house down. When we went to our ward sacrament meeting later that day, it certainly seemed like it was missing something

Christian music is a powerful witness and like spring water to the spirit. On a recent trip to Israel Christian singing was one of the things that even now brings back some of the best memories....enjoying Sunday service with our church group on the Sea Of Galilee and listening to other Christians in a passing boat singing very familiar choruses in a language foreign to us and having fellowship with them through music....Christians spontaneously breaking out in song in a chapel on Mount Nebo....my church group spontaneously going to the stand and singing Amazing Grace in the Crusader built church by the Pool of Bethsaeda, its fantastic acoustics making us sound the equal of any choir around. Wonderful moments.

A favorite group is Bill Gaither and Signature Sound singing I Then Shall Live on Youtube. A superb declaration of Christian commitment.

aside from the obvious promotional posting this is quite a thinly veiled insult.
The notion that this choir is better than the other is merely a point of opinion, and personally i was not impressed by the links provided. Though they were talented musicians, i saw no real cause to claim that they were "better" than any other contestant at the world choir games.

As for the notion that evangelicals have more powerful music? frankly you lost me at "evangelicals"...but the obvious answer is that the Evangelicals need more powerful music because their message and doctrine have been so watered down that nothing else will attract members to their cause.

As for Ishmael applauding the house-bringing-down "spirit band", obviously the temporal pleasure is more significant than the spiritual....hopefully there was an awesome light show and carnival rides in the parking lot. Now i understand why so many are confused about the distinction between the spirit and "feelings"

I thought that's how you get a testimony of the Book of Mormon, "burning in bosom"


Here's lights and awesome worship

Psalm 150
1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power.
2 Praise him for his mighty acts: praise him according to his excellent greatness.
3 Praise him with the sound of the trumpet: praise him with the psaltery and harp.
4 Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed instruments and organs.
5 Praise him upon the loud cymbals: praise him upon the high sounding cymbals.
6 Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD.

Psalm 150 doesn't sound like Mormon music does it .

as you have now affirmed, your "thoughts" are often incorrect.

....Psalm 150 doesn't sound like Mormon music does it .

obviously you have heard little..perhaps because you can not hear over the sound of your own voice....

[_LittleNipper]

I tend to like the older hymns but I do enjoy some contemporary Christian music. Perhaps the spirit of the music is the moving of the Holy Spirit. If the Holy Spirit is not involved, can the music be soulful. Can people be soulful if God isn't in it?

[_Mittens]

The Mormon Tabernacle Choir does sing the Old hymns of the past, composed by Evangelicals . Yet the Mormon Religion calls them apostates ?

Must not be as apostate as they claim .

Hmmm...then tell us subgenius, how does one obtain a testimony of the Book of Mormon?

[_Albion]

I agree that "best" or "better" are subjective terms. I would prefer to say livelier, more upbeat, optimistic, modern.... but then that's quite rightly an "opinion". The subject does seem to have struck a raw nerve however.
