More on Music and the Genesis Record-part 2

            As I have often written, since God created music, it is His and that means He has ownership of it!  Therefore, all committed Christian musicians must cleanse their music vocabulary of the words “my music”.  No Christian musician may lay rightful claim to or profess to have ownership of the music he or she presents to God as a musical offering.

            As a matter of fact all of the secular music and the way he or she musics it also must come under the Lordship of Jesus Christ.  As I have often told the college students in the classes that I taught and musical organizations that I directed, Jesus Christ must be Lord over all of one’s music and musicing or He soon will not be Lord over any of it. Christian musicians are first Christians and second they are musicians. Musicians must constantly remember that every time they music, what and how they music is a reflection on the reputation of Jesus Christ.

             The way a Christian musics does not change the moral nature of God, but it does reflect on what others perceive God’s nature to be like.  Romans 14:7 states, “For none of us liveth to himself and no man dieth to himself.”  Wolf says, “it is not possible for a Christian musician to live unto himself or herself, and it is also not possible for a Christian musician to music unto himself or herself, unless that musician lives and performs with no one present and performs in a sound proof bubble.”

Scripture Thought for the Day

Colossians 1:16, “For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.”
