The 21st. Century Music Synthesis-part 1
Now in the
twenty-first century, somewhere between music that is best suited to fit the
awesomeness and solemnity of public worship and music that is not suited for
Christian worship are styles of music that is now inappropriately
appropriate. Since the answer must be a *synthesis
answer, the answer must be taking music that was created to fulfill the lust of
the flesh and squeezing this music into a worship mode. To accomplish this, synthesis thinking
Christian musicians have to find a style of music that is basically created
anti-Christ, anti-worship (of God), anti-trust, anti-purity, anti-beauty,
anti-rest, anti-authority, anti-family, and amalgamate it with the gospel
message and when this is accomplished, “presto-chango” they have the perfect
worship style.
*Synthesis-- Combining
musical style ideas to form a music system. It is a mixture of traditional
Christian and worldly popular styles of music.
This amalgamation is often called contemporary Christian (?) music.
Thought for the Day
Leviticus 22:15, “And they shall not profane
the holy things of the children of Israel, which they offer unto the LORD…” If ancient servants of the LORD in ancient
Israel were careful not to profane their offerings to God, it stands to reason
that God commands no less of a Christian musician’s musical offerings.
