Corporate worship through singing is
a valuable means of grace to the believer.
Singing can be a valuable teaching tool.
Singing can be used by the Holy Spirit to convict and convert sinners. However, I Corinthians 1:18 very clearly teaches
that preaching is “the power of God.”
Music, although it has power and charm is never spoken of in the Bible
as the “power of God”. Verse twenty of
chapter one of I Corinthians says, “Where is the wise (sophos 4680) Where is the scribe?
Where is the disputer (suzetetes 4804)
of this world (aion 165) Hath not God
made foolish (moraino 3471) the
wisdom (sophia 4678) of this world (kosmos 2889)
The sophists were ancient Greek
philosophers notorious for their specious arguments. Their arguments sounded logical and good but
often were far from being correct. The
disputers were philosophers who were debaters involved in controversial
discussions. Paul declared here that God
has shown how insipid their arguments were.
The arguments of the sophists were as verse twenty tells us, based on
the wisdom of the aion or the present system of the age. It was wisdom based on the matrix of Satan.
