What about contemporary Christian
music?
Some is good and some is not. If it is espousing bad doctrine or no
doctrine it is bad. If it is designed to cater to the lost and the
flesh rather than to glorify God and edify the body of Christ it is
also bad. Based on such criteria, much of what is in the Christian
books stores is bad.
Believers should never modify their
preaching or their music to attract the world. God tells us that
there should always be a clear distinction between the holy and the
profane.
"And even things without life giving sound,
whether pipe or harp, except they give a distinction in the sounds,
how shall it be known what is piped or harped?" [1 Corinthians 14:7
]
"And they shall teach my people the difference between the holy and
profane, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the
clean." [Ezekiel 44:23]
A friend of mine puts scripture to music. This allows the singer and
the listener to memorize the word of God, an activity that both
glorifies God and edifies the body of Christ. |
