As always this was a great message by our brother...
I'll probably irritate some people with this comment, and I would never have commented on this particular post, except for the fact that I am a singer and have been in many church choirs and been a worship leader through my lifetime. I saw so many people getting upset about his comment at the beginning of this message. Instead of focusing on the message itself, they were focused on the joke he made back in the 1980s... was the joke necessary? No, probably not. But he meant it as a joke, however, that joke made a point.
Please read 1 Chronicles 25 where King David organizes the musicians and singers.
King David didn't just assign anyone in the temple as a musician or singer, he put the trained musicians and the trained singers who could actually play and sing to be the musicians and singers. Brother Gibbs was making a joke here, and if we're going to focus on that, let's remember this was recorded back in the 1980s, things were a little bit different then...But he had a good point. People who can't carry a tune, and are obviously not called to sing, but still want to sing, should get voice lessons before ever trying to be on the platform. You can make a beautiful noise from the audience, but you don't need to be up on that platform making everyone's ears hurt, or being a distraction from the presence of God or making folks embarrassed for you. That's like someone saying, "I think I can preach, I should be up there sharing a sermon," and you get up there and you have no message or anointing for that particular role. Sometimes the body of Christ doesn't take serious enough the role of praise and worship in the church service. It matters if you're gifted and anointed for the particular role in the body of Christ that you're in. If you're not, that probably means you're gifted and anointed in another area, where you're probably not serving and your spot is being filled by someone else who may be needed someplace else. Not everyone is a mouth for the body of Christ. Some are hands, some are feet, some are legs... there are lots of positions in the church that need to be filled. Just because the Bible says that we are to make a joyful noise unto the Lord, does not mean we're all supposed to be making it on the platform center stage...
God bless you.

Read, read, read your Bible!!!! That is where God shares the wisdom, knowledge, and understanding!!! That is where you honor Him and build a relationship. Do you know Him? Or do you just know of Him through what orher people say? He took the time to have His living word written so you could read it!!! How do think He renews your mind? By reading His word daily!! If you care what God says then show Him by reading His word!!!! Bless God, and God bless you and your family 🙏 💯 ❤️ 🫂
