Passing
Our Music Values on to the Next Generation – Part 3
If
the Bible is accurate, and it is, all of the six hundred plus Scriptures
referring to music are profitable to us today.
How are they profitable? They
teach us the doctrine of making music unto God.
It will help us to avoid unwise choices in both sacred and secular music
by providing us with reproof, correction and instruction. It is not only negative with definite
reproofs and corrections, but also positive with its instructions in
righteousness. No pastor, parent,
Christian music minister or music educator is properly equipped to pass on our
Christian music values to the next generation without a thorough knowledge of
Bible music.
As
I mentioned in yesterday’s blog post, an often much overlooked necessity is
studying music seriously. It is no joke
that “knowing is doing”. In our highly
educated world today it is ludicrous for one to try to instruct others in music
philosophy without as much as knowing the names of the lines and spaces. Being a music consumer does not qualify one
to instruct others in music.
