The Curse that Follows Talent....
I was recently speaking with a freind of mine here locally and we were discussing some recent events in a well-known UPC musicians life and he said a part of the problem musicians have is they become so removed from service that they no longer feel God. (NO IT WASN"T THAD!!! )
He said Talent at times is a curse because even if they mess up or do something terrible we or somebody put them right back on the platform.
He said and it's true a Minister has to Pray for the anointing and if he doesnt' you know it... Musicians don 't... they can get up and play and everybody else prays but wouldn't know the difference because of their talent.
And nobody says anything... if they do and the person leaves they can go somewhere else get right up on the platform and play...
Any thoughts out there on this???

Good musicians can play well but still without the anointing on them they are ministering only entertainng.
Clubs are filled with great musicians but they aren't anointed and they ain't ministering only entertaining.

I know of a drummer who doesn't have the Holy Ghost.
He has been playing since he was young and since he is always playing the drums he never really has gotten involved in the services.
He has said that he wishes he could get it... and we have prayed with him...
But... as you say... he has been so removed from the services for so long that it is hard for him to feel anything.
This would seem to be something that is more a personal issue though... I am involved in the music program (singing, sax etc) every service and I know many others that do this as well and being involved in that part of the ministry is the catalyst for them feeling the spirit more because they are so personally involved in the worship.

Why is it always the musicians/singers that get labeled and dumped on?
I was sent some mess in an email about music devils or something, dumb. I heard a message years ago, "I love my daddy, but I hate his message," again, dumb!
What about preachers who preach in the flesh? They don't study. They don't pray.
They'll spend most of the weekend out on the golf course, print out a message script from some online sermon archive, or whatever message happens to be popular with their preacher-friends and use that instead of getting on their knees before God and getting a message from Him.
What happened to all the rumpled, wrinkled and worn-out knees on the suit pants of preachers?
Why is it always the musicians and singers?
And yes, I'm a musician and a singer. *grin*

Personally I think musicians should pray before getting up on the platform.
