But as for those who might not be really gifted, but they're not bad and/or distracting, I'll take "heart of worship" over skill if I have to choose between the two. If people are distracted more due to their own problems with a critical spirit/nature, then that's a different problem. :) Seriously non-gifted singers and musicians should be talked to in love before they ever reach a Sunday AM platform and encouraged to look for other gifts that can edify the church.

Look how long God spent describing and instructing the construction of the temple. It took 200 verses and 6 chapters to detail the technologies to be used for worship in Exodus. But, does that mean that we can be so judgmental as to say you are not good enough get off the stage because you are not perfect? Probably not (even though sometimes i wish I could). The biggest thing is responsibility for me. If you are responsible to the call that God has for you and are working at what God has placed on your heart you are in right standards. Now, if music is not your thing and you have a voice of someone they make fun of on American Idol well then you should probably look into being faithful somewhere else. I think the standards churches can set can say that we aspect there to be some responsibility in the way you practice, prepare and then sing. Once that responsibility is taken musicians will get better and so will the music. Great question….

If its joyful of the person doing it, it is just noise. Motive means a lot. Now is it musically edifying to the Church? Well who is the audience God or man? A person that can't sing well should be told that honestly. If they can't lead they shouldn't. I would rather have some one with a passion for Christ with less than wonderful vocals than the best singer without a passion for Christ. Best situation is one with good vocals and a heart for Christ. The key though is the music of the heart. I take the scriptural view of “make a joyful noise unto the Lord” as a good starting point.
