Being a Conservative Christian Musician- part 3

Being a Conservative Christian Musician- part 3

 Christian musicians must constantly reevaluate what it means to truly be conservative Christian musicians.  Christian musicians who call themselves conservative musicians must realize that one of the most important things about following a conservative philosophy is being consistent about life-style and that this congruency most certainly must include the way Christians music unto God.

I am  puzzled that  so many Christian musicians in the last quarter of the twentieth century and now in the twenty-first century have believed, and now still believe, that the formal properties of music have absolutely no power or ability to communicate anything at all.  By accepting this erroneous notion, in their minds they have reduced music’s power to the potency of diluted vanilla extract.  Furthermore, they have done so without a shred of musical or philosophical logic.  Why can’t Christian musicians observe obvious actions, reactions, and outcomes that are triggered by music’s power?  I have found after studying music philosophy seriously since 1967 that the age-old quip is true, ”there is none so blind a he who will not see.”
