Should All
Christian Musicians Study? Part 3
There are many practicing Christian
musicians that find out in the midst of their music ministry that that they are
incapable of “understanding (noeo
3539) neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm (diabebaioomai 1226).” This phrase connotes that it is possible for
a Christian to follow a ministry (music) praxis and not be able to confirm
thoroughly, with any logical biblical understanding, why they believe (affirm
constantly) what they believe.
Third, “rightly dividing the word of
truth” is a must to any Christian ministry.
This is most certainly the truth in the case of music ministry. Portions
of 2Co 6:4-7 teach us that, “… in all things approving ourselves as the
ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in
distresses… By
pureness, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by
love unfeigned, By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armor of
righteousness on the right hand and on the left…” Remember that the onus of approval falls on
the Christian musician “Eph 5:8-10 speaks to this fact when it states, “For ye
were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of
light: (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and
truth ;) Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord…”
Scripture for the Day
1Corinthians 14:15, “What is
it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding
also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also.
