What does the Scripture lesson in
the chapter one of! Corinthians mean to the 21st century
church? First of all, there is and
always has been a war going on between the wisdom of God and the specious
arguments of the present age. Every
Christian musician should be sure that he or she is following biblical wisdom
when developing a music ministry philosophy.
Second, there are very logical sounding arguments that are prevalent
today that simply do not line up with Scripture. Beware that you are not led astray by what
seems to make sense at least by the world’s standards. If your philosophy has caused you to not keep
the main thing then it is faulty.
Ancient philosophers believed that
music could have a profound moral effect on the hearer. “All ancient peoples of whom we have
knowledge gave music a place of honor; they considered it a potent religious
and moral force, intimately related to the most formal, as well as the most
informal aspects of life.” Music in Europe and
the United States, Edith Borroff, Pg.
