Utilizing Great Music
in Worship part 2
More and more Christian
musicians seem to not make much distinction between inappropriate, poorly
written, mediocre music and great religious music. Although a Christian does not worship the
greatness in music, as I said earlier, most of the time great music is a
greater vehicle to represent the message and divine character of our great and
wonderful God. However, philosophically speaking, the earnest Christian
musician values the use of an excellent musical vehicle with the excellent message
of the gospel. It is one thing to give lip service to the appropriateness of
the sacred classics but it is another to actually utilize them in public
worship. The Christian musician who never includes the sacred classics in his
or her repertoire is making a philosophical statement about the awesomeness and
solemnity of worshiping the high and lifted up triune God.
