Sacred Music Should be Intense
Music—part 2
How can a Christian effectively express sincere love
for God
with vanilla-flavored
musical expressions? John 7:38 explains, “He
who believes in Me, as
the Scripture has said, out of his heart will
flow rivers of living
water” (NKJV). Therefore, sincere sacred
musicing must include
an emotional outpouring of the Christian’s heart-life
which is expressed
through music. These deep expressions of a
living faith in Christ
exude from a heart filled with love for God that
pours out these
feelings in genuine intense musicing unto God.
Some Christians believe that all sacred musicing must
be subdued
and without deep
outward emotion. Sometimes those who have
this belief fail to
recognize that God endows musicians with charisma
and an effervescence
that attracts listeners. This attractiveness inspires
devotion to God as the
performer musics. Performance or
musicing charisma is
one of the gifts and graces that God gives to
talented musicians.
However, charisma is not synonymous with the
anointing for musicing
that God gives to musicians who are maintaining
a deep spiritual life
in the Holy Spirit.
