Amen, preach it brotha! Plus, people that pay money for music degrees, and are working musicians, you think that degree didn't cost a penny?

Good morning. I just wanted to thank you for speaking on this topic today. I really appreciated your comments today on paying musicians. I’ve been in plenty situations where I have played for churches and and have been seriously mistreated my pastors of large congregations who just took advantage of me and some of my other fellow musicians but yet the same pastors expected to get paid for their services. I know that there are many Different scenarios that remain in various churches and situations in which I am not going to get in but, I am glad that you open the door for dialogue on this topic. Have a wonderful day.

Hipocresy preachers ask for tithe from Old Testament but they don't says nothing about Levites.. Sadly something is wrong.. Thanks Jamal this is an excellent video.. God Bless You.. Now I confirm my priorities, I will serve God when I sell products in my store and ocasionally when I play in church without rewards.. My family has to be provided..

It's a shame we as a church, still see this as a problem!

I agree I been playing since 7 Music Ministry or MOM since 14 there are churches out there that abuse there musican and do not properly compensate them..A lot of musicians are over worked under paid and stressed out.. The Bible clearly state how musicians should be treated...Thanks for sharing your knowledge and speaking the truth in Love..

Jamal, thank you for explaining how and who tithe should be distributed to!   Here's the problem,  choir members, devotional singers and deacons, most of the time do not get paid. This is an unfair system and most churches do not operate entirely on the complete tithing system  of the bible!    One thing I would like to point out!   God blessed all the children of Israel with land for the means of survival except the LEVITES which are those within the category mentioned above.  So we must assume that those who were working within the church day and night could not attend to the production of food {Livestock and Produce} for the means of survival!   "This thing is deeper than just musicians getting paid in todays time"  The Levites was dedicated to the full operation of the church and not secular jobs!  You seem to be on point with this.  However, tithe in that time was not just money as we all think! In fact it was properly less money!   The store house was not a bank, it was a room where they stored food and other items needed for the means of survival to be distributed!   The point is,   if I brought toiletry to the store house would it be received as part of payment?  That was an analogy!  So in other words, for this thing to work properly Musicians would have to work full time and be dedicated to the church "not just music" and receive all and any form of payment and not just money!   That being said, the church is so far away from this system being reapplied in todays time correctly! The best thing to do is get a secular job and render music when  you can to the church without any financial obligation!  There are other channels for musicians to get paid outside the church in a clean environment and remain Holy!

Jamal you're on point as usual. I spent time building a ministry a few years ago and ended up putting the $ I was paid back into the church to help build it up. Sewing seeds brother!! Keep stressing that...what goes around TRULY does come back around. I'm more blessed today than I ever thought and I still strive to learn more and ask for a fresh anointing to glorify his name.

Not many Pastors will point out that The LORD had the Musicians & Singers paid 1st they were fed first, they went before the Army's of The LORD.
