Those who conclude
that music is amoral have to incorrectly assume that in the beginning God did
not create music in a personal real way.
They believe that God sees music from a distance through rose-tinted
glasses. Since they believe that God
does not have an ultimate opinion concerning music ministry, He is not “there”
when it comes to music. The very fact
that music “is” is proof to a Christian that it is a part of God’s infinite
creation. A thesis thinking Christian
who believes in a real creation rather than some kind of theistic-evolution is
led to the systematic conclusion that because music “is” and is a part of God’s
real creation, God is “there” concerning music.
If God is “there” concerning church music in the 21st
century, then it stands to reason that he cares about it in a most personal
way.
Since we are drawn to the logical
conclusion that God created the great art of music, then the physical creation
of music as music (not just the words) matters to God. We do not have one shred of evidence that God
created anything (moral or amoral) that does not matter to Him. Certainly it is only logical to conclude that
the music part of Church Music Matters
very, very much to God.
