Though some say it is, the issue is not about the drum, but our willingness to take the time to do what it takes to reach the lost. The drum is only a means to worship. It brings much liberty to those bound in religious thinking when the truth is placed before them.

True worship comes from the heart (not the drum, guitar or any other instrument) and when this is explained and demonstrated in worship, a wonderful liberty prevails with by products of restoration of self respect and dignity. "They shall know the truth and the truth shall set them free." I pray that those whose hearts have been tainted by the "colonial gospel" that says "You must give up your sin stained culture and embrace my sin stained culture in order to know Jesus," won't stop you from reaching those out there who are lost and dying.  - Jonathan Maracle
