“All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any” (1 Corinthians 6:12).
“All things are
lawful for me,
but all things
are not
expedient: all
things are
lawful for me,
but all things
edify not” (1
Corinthians
10:23).
“Whether
therefore ye
eat, or drink,
or whatsoever ye
do, do all to
the glory of
God” (1
Corinthians
10:31).
Music was
created to be a
language of the
human spirit. It
was never meant
to be called the
language of the
soul. Man is a
spiritual
creature and
singing is one
of mankind’s
highest ideals.
Life without
music and
singing would be
dull and empty.
Not only is
music a language
of our human
spirit, it is
also a primary
language of our
worship.
The human spirit
is our direct
line of
communion with
God. Spiritual
singing unites
us to Him for
fellowship and
life.
“Speaking to
yourselves in
psalms and hymns
and spiritual
songs, singing
and making
melody in your
heart to the
Lord” (Ephesians
5:19). Singing
was ordained by
God to be full
of Him, His
words, and
answers that
satisfy our
daily longing
after Him. Modern music is similar to modern art and modern living; it is full of questions and very few answers. Rick Warren calls his church, “The flock that rocks.” You are not likely to find a liberal church that is now called the “emerging church” that sings gospel music. Modern/Contemporary music is the music of churches that have left the fundamentals of Holy Scripture. There is something wrong when someone does not have enough time to read the Word of God, but does have enough time to listen to “Christian rock” for their daily manna. Read More Part I
