The Christian Musician Thinks Differently-part 2


The Christian Musician Thinks Differently-part 2

                As a Christian musician reads God’s Word and as the Holy Spirit

gives the musician understanding of the many verses concerning music

and musicing found in the Bible, a Christocentric music worldview is

developed. St. John 16:13 explains, “Howbeit when he, the Spirit of

truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of

himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will

shew you things to come.”

                I am not claiming that this verse in the Bible has any esoteric

meaning that is exclusive to the Christian musician, but I am contending

that the truth contained in this verse extends to Christian musicians who

 are developing that window through which they will view the whole of

music and musicing that we call a Christian musical worldviewThe Holy

 Spirit and God’s Word will guide the earnest Christian musician into

“all truth” (pas aletheia, 3956, 225  thorough truths or verity).
