Tracing Music’s Origin-part 8

Tracing Music’s Origin-part 8

            St. John 1:3 further explains that “All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made.”  Once there was no music.  God was before music.  God wanted music so He made music.  No one else made music.  Therefore, no one but God has true ownership of music.  The Christian musician should get rid of the sense of ownership of music.  No spirit filled musician, or any musician for that matter, has the right to say this is my music.

            It has been said that Jesus will be Lord of all or He will not be Lord at all.  Music philosophy and all music making must fall under the Lordship of Christ if it is to be Spirit led.  The musical discourse in Ephesians 5:6-19 reminds the spirit filled musician that he or she must prove “what is acceptable unto the Lord.”
