Thinking that Is
Balanced part 2
When a Christian musician takes a
firm stand on how one utilizes music in a life of worship, he or she must take
that stand on the basis of God’s Word.
Furthermore, when a Christian musician presents his or her body as a
living sacrifice, that person’s doing, which includes all sacred musicing, must
be “holy and acceptable unto God.” So,
it is not far-fetched to deduce that the rational musicing of a Christian must
always be faith based and Bible based.
Now let us discuss a dogmatic firm
stand on sacred music and musicing. It
is one thing to music in a certain way based on one’s personal preferences and
or personal convictions. It is another
to condemn and break fellowship with other Christian musicians when there is no
clear Bible principle of music and musicing that a person’s sacred musicing
violates. Before I continue, I want to
make it clear that there are types of music and musicing do not lend themselves
to the awesomeness and solemnity of worshiping a Holy triune God. Rational worship must have as a concomitant
rational, reasonable, appropriate, supportive, and biblical faith based music
and musicing. If different forms of
music and ways of music meet the above criteria, a Christian fellowship of
believers should be careful not to firmly condemn these forms of music and ways
of musicing.
