There Is No Substitute for Knowing How To Music part 2

Careful and thorough musical study make it possible to present the God that we love and serve a quality musical offering.  God is not impressed with our musical talent, because He gave every musician the measure of musical ability with which that musician presents his or her musical offerings to God.  That being said, God is pleased when we present to Him the best musical offering that we are capable of giving.  

 If a Christian musician considers his or her musicing to be truly a “musical offering”, it will help the student of music philosophy to study the sacrificial system as it is explained in the Old Testament.  When one studies the sacrificial system of the Bible, it is clear He was pleased when He was presented with the best offering that the worshiper was capable of giving.

Although the Christian musician should always present the blessed trinity his or her best offering, musical offerings are not exclusively about quality performance. Philosophically, Christian musicians either believe that their musicing in the context of worship is about performance or that it is about an offering made unto a high and holy God.  It is either an opportunity to display one’s musical ability or it is an opportunity express lavish praise and worship unto the God that he or she loves and worships.
