Utilizing Great Music in Worship part 4
One can survive on a
diet of bologna sandwiches and white bread with all the quality ingredients
removed, but one’s diet can be greatly improved by eating foods which contain
quality ingredients I contend that the same
is true of our musical diet. Poorly
written music does not support the awesomeness and solemnity of our worship of
the triune God as well as well written compositions. Certainly the sacred classics are excellent
vehicles for the presentation of the biblical message.
A total diet of the more simple forms
of music sends the message that excellent quality musicing does not
matter. In other words, it testifies to
those who attend our church services that the kind and quality of musical
offerings we present to God do not matter.
I believe it subtly testifies to the fact that these musicians believe
that God does not need to be worshiped with the best musical offerings we are
able to present. When we present all of
our musical offerings with inferior musical genres, we are testifying to the
fact that we believe that it does not matter if we present our heavenly Father
a musical three-legged lamb. Remember
that, in the sacrificial system, God required a lamb of the matrix which was
without defect or blemish of any kind (Leviticus 1:3, Numbers 28:19 etc.).
