Why Should All Christian Musicians Study? Part 3
There
are many practicing Christian musicians that find out in the midst of their
music ministry that that they are incapable of “understanding (noeo 3539) neither what they say, nor
whereof they affirm (diabebaioomai 1226).”
This phrase connotes that it is possible for a Christian to follow a ministry
(music) praxis and not be able to confirm thoroughly, with any logical biblical
understanding, why they believe (affirm constantly) what
they believe.
Third,
“rightly dividing the word of truth” is a must to any Christian ministry. This is most certainly the truth in the case
of music ministry. Portions of 2Co 6:4-7 teach us that, “… in all things
approving ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions,
in necessities, in distresses… By pureness, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness,
by the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned, by the word of truth, by the power of
God, by the armor of righteousness on the right hand and on the left…” Remember that the onus of approval falls on
the Christian musician “Eph 5:8-10 speaks to this fact when it states, “For ye
were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of
light: (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and
truth ;) Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord…”

1Corinthians 14:15, “What is it then? I will
pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing
with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also.”
