Finding
Truth in a World of Musical Deception
What is music? Does it have value in the
life of a Christian? What does God think
about music? Are there specific kinds of
music that are appropriate for a Christian musician? Is there a place for secular music? It doesn’t take long to find answers to these
questions, many answers. It is not in finding answers that we have difficulty;
ask anyone you meet. Every musician has
a music philosophy, regardless of how well it is developed. The real challenge comes in wading through the
stream of answers and philosophies to find the gold nuggets of truth.
