Because Church Music Matters, it must be
philosophically accountable to God.
Since Christians do not exist
in an absurd purposeless universe, all music making has moral purpose. The fine arts do not escape moral purpose or
the Lordship of Christ and furthermore, there is nothing purposeless in the
life of a Christian.
Church
Music Matters and so does all music in the life of a
Christian (or a sinner for that matter).
It is not hard for many Christians to conceptualize the fact that Church Music Matters, but it is often
very difficult for some Christians to understand how or why secular music matters. Remember that it is one of the presuppositions
of my writings is that when it comes to secular and sacred music it is not
“either or” but rather “wise choices” of both.
A Christian performer or educator should also recognize that a thorough
music philosophy must include a series of philosophical beliefs concerning the
nature and value of the whole of music.
This “whole” of music must include wise choices of secular music as well
as sacred music. The whole of music must
include every style of music that a Christian listens to or performs.
