An Unbroken Chain of Teaching-part 3

An Unbroken Chain of Teaching-part 3

After years and years of being taught that church music doesn’t matter and that the music part of music doesn’t matter, we are shocked and chagrined when our children look, act and sound like Philistines when they music unto a high and Holy God.  What we have failed to understand is that when much musical and spiritual garbage goes into the minds of our children some or most of that garbage will come out in our children’s musicing.  When they have received their musical instruction from music professors who do not love and serve Jesus Christ, our children will music like the world when they reach adulthood. 

            The reason that Christian parents are often forced to place their children under those who are often antagonistic toward what committed Christians believe about music and musicing unto a high and holy triune God, is because there are so many Christian musicians that refuse to follow St .Paul’s advice given to Timothy in 2 Timothy 2:1-2.  Many talented Christian musicians refuse to commit their musical knowledge to the next generation of Christian musicians who will “be able to teach others also”.  Instead of giving their musical gifts back to God by teaching our Christian youth, these Christian musicians consume their musical gifts on their own artistic lust.  By this refusal they break the continuous chain of teaching our Children to music “the songs of the LORD” that is taught o clearly in both the Old and New Testament.
