Why
Christian Music Education?-part 1
Is the Christian school a conviction
or a preference? If the basis for a
Christian education (CE) is a mere preference then it is not a necessity, and
Christian music education (CME) is most certainly not a necessity. Every parent, Christian school teacher and
administrator must know why they and the students are involved in a Christian
school. Although I do not want to be
overly simplistic, I can see no reason for Christians to deny their children a
Christian education.
As I have pointed out so many times
in my writings, the statement in1Timothy 5:8 “But if any provide not for his
own, and especially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and
is worse than an infidel” extends to the education of one’s household. I furthermore contend that it also pertains
to the music education of our own. Every
Christian parent must remember that when Lot chose the well-watered plains of Jordan near Sodom
and Gomorrah, he made an excellent choice for his cattle and a poor choice for
his children.
