Why Christian Music Education?--part 1
Is
the Christian school a conviction or a preference? If a Christian education (CE) is a mere
preference then it is not a necessity, and Christian music education (CME) is
most certainly not a necessity. Every parent,
Christian school teacher and administrator must know why they and the students
are involved in a Christian school.
Although I do not want to be overly simplistic, I can see no reason for
Christians to deny their children a Christian education.
As I have pointed out so many times in my
writings, the statement in1Timothy 5:8 “But if any provide not for his own, and
specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse
than an infidel” extends to the education of one’s household. I furthermore contend that it also pertains
to the music education of our own. Every
Christian parent must remember that when Lot chose the well watered plains of
Jordan near Sodom and Gomorrah, he made an excellent choice for his cattle and
a poor choice for his children.
