Truth and Peace-part 1


Truth and Peace-part 1
It is essential that evangelicals sincerely worship the blessed Trinity with their music.  Giving lavish praise to the Father Son and Holy Spirit is not an option.  It is commanded over and over in the Bible in verses like Psalm 29:2, “Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name; worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.” Furthermore, we are commanded in Psalm 100:2 to, “Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing.”  God is worthy and on the reality and verity of that true truth alone part of the work of the church is to worship Him.  However, when the church witnesses to seekers through their music, this doing is a vital part of living out a life of worship to God. It is an essential part of the Christian’s becoming “a living sacrifice” and his or her “reasonable service” (Romans 12:1). 
Part of the mission of the church is to be evangelistic and in order to fulfill this mission the music of the church is commissioned to tell the seeker the truth.  It is the truth that God is worthy of worship, but it also true that Romans 3:23 teaches that un-regenerated man is separated from God,  “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” and that “the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (Romans 6:23).  Luke told the truth in 12:5 when he said,” But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.”  Hebrews 9:22 tells the truth when it states, And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.”  1John 1:7 gives hope and truth to the seeker, “But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.”
