Utilizing Great Music
in Worship—part 4
One can survive on a diet of bologna
sandwiches and white bread with all the quality ingredients removed, but one’s
diet can be greatly improved by eating foods which contain quality
ingredients I contend that the same is
true of our musical diet. Poorly written
music does not support the awesomeness and solemnity of our worship of the
triune God as well as well written compositions. Certainly the sacred classics are excellent
vehicles for the presentation of the biblical message.
A total diet of the more simple forms
of music sends the message to a congregation of worshipers and seekers that excellent
quality musicing does not matter. In
other words, it testifies to those who attend our church services that the kind
and quality of musical offerings we present to God do not matter.
Thought for the Day
Poorly
written religious lyric poetry is still poorly written poetry when it is sung
unto a high and holy God no matter how sincere the performer may be.
