The Song of
Fools-part 1
Ecclesiastes
7:5 It is better to hear the rebuke of
the wise, than for a man to hear the song of fools.
Church musicians sometimes get a little worried
that their musicing unto God is too serious, because all of us want people to
like our music ministry. What does the
writer of the book of Ecclesiastes mean by “the song of fools”? Is he suggesting that the content of the song
is foolish or that those who are singing the songs are actually fools? He probably means all of the above.
Never be afraid of the seriousness of the musical message of Christ
crucified. The awesome depth of this
message is the very thing that makes it worthwhile. The message of Christ being obedient to the
will of His Father: which included being reviled, rebuked, rejected,
misunderstood, abused and tortured physically and mentally is a very solemn and
worthwhile message. Never be ashamed of
the awesome and solemn truth about Christ’s suffering and death. The Christian
musician should never water it down or fail to sing about the precious blood
that Christ shed for the sins of the whole world.
