When Conservatives take the Musical Exit Ramps-Part-7

When a religious music performer incorporates the musical and/or the extra-musical techniques that are an integral part of the performance practice of the above music styles (as well as many other styles not mentioned), it stands to reason that religious intent and adding a few religious words to these performance practices will not cleanse and sanctify a Christian musician’s musicing.  Secular music performers are convinced that the music part of music is a communicator of understandable meaning to an audience and that nonverbal actions also communicate understandable meaning; it is necessary for Christian musicians to avoid these sexual triggers when communicating the gospel message to an audience. 

Remember that how the formal properties of the music are arranged expediates the communication of these triggers that arouse emotions that  are sexual in nature.  Remember that a Bible based faith-based music praxis must include the nature of every musical composition that is to be used in the context of Christian worship.  An understanding of the nature of the music part of the music will  give valuable insight in making the decision as to whether a piece of music is or is not an appropriate vehicle to represent the moral nature of God.
