Is All of a Christian’s Musicing a Sacred Experience? Part 1

It is of little wonder that Christians often have so much difficulty communicating with musicians and music philosophers who are non-believers. Rather than developing our own “pseudo-religious speak” to define, explain and defend the nature of a Christian’s musicing, we should, whenever possible,  use the same modern English parlance that non-believers use and understand. 

Just think how egotistical it appears to non-believers when Christians intimate that when  non-believers perform a Bach two-part Invention  it is secular musicing, but when Christians perform it, somehow the performance is transformed into a sacred experience because the Christian performs it to honor God.
