Singing about Our Chief
Corner Stone
My
Son in law Rev. Mark Mander sent me the quote below by pastor Jim Cymbala some tie ago and I
have been thinking about it ever since.
It is one thing to sing about Christ but it is totally another to have a
personal relationship with the Christ about whom you are singing! We as Christian musicians need to be sure
that when we sing the gospel we are worshiping Christ rather than the gospel
music. A Christian should never sing or
play sacred music for his or her aggrandizement. As you will see when you read the quotation
below, pastor Cymbala got it right when he said, “Sadly, some people use gospel
music as a platform to go higher in their field…” Gospel music should never be used by a
musician as a stepping stone. The gospel
message should never be a stone to step upon because it is the message of our Chief
“corner stone” Christ Jesus.
