Tracing Music’s Origin—part
7
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.”
Many
Christian musicians act as if the Lord doesn’t have anything to say about music
philosophy or music making. Some
Christian musicians believe that all forms of music making and all music
philosophies are acceptable unto the lord and, furthermore, that there are no
absolutes in music philosophy or music making.
Ephesians 5:9-10 states, “Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord. And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works
of darkness, but rather reprove them.”
What scriptural basis would lead a Christian musician to believe that in
church music all forms and styles of music making are acceptable unto the Lord?
