# [Building Your Foundation (Part 2)](https://blog.discoverworship.com/articles/blog/view/29/building-your-foundation-part-2)

 Last week I mentioned to you how vital I think it is that we develop a biblical basis for our music and worship ministries. These 4 or 5 scripture passages serve to give us focus, define our vision and provide filters for new ideas. I gave you 2 Timothy 3:16 as a place to get started on all this. Here's another signifiant passage: 2 Chronicles 5:11-14.

 I won't quote the entire passage here, but it ends with *Then the temple of the LORD was filled with a cloud, and the priests could not perform their service because of the cloud, for the glory of the LORD filled the temple of God.*

 You remember the story: the Israelites, under the guidance of Solomon, were dedicating the temple and bringing the Ark of the Covenant back to its rightful place. A powerful worship service was occurring with an orchestra on one side of the altar (including 120 trumpeters!), joined by a choir, which I'm guessing was pretty big, too. Verse 13 says, *“The trumpeters and singers joined in unison, as with one voice, to give praise and thanks to the LORD.”* And that's when it happened – the glory of God filled the temple in the form of a cloud and everything came to a holy halt.

 But here's the key (and this is important!) - it wasn't the number of musicians involved, or the fact that they were dressed in fine linen, or that they were obviously well-rehearsed that brought the glory of God into the temple. The key phrase here is *in unison, as with one voice*...  That's what moved God to manifest Himself in a cloud. Unity.

 What are you doing to build a sense of unity among members of your team? Is it based on consensus or commitment?
