Why Music Does Matter In The Church?

What Is The Biblical Approach To Music In The Church And The Life Of The Christian?

Answer:

Throughout the New Testament as well as the Old, biblical music and singing is vocal, joyful and respectful to God (Exodus 15:1,21; Acts 16:26; Rev. 5:9). The use of a concordance to find verses that contain the words: "song," "singers" and "singing," will confirm that God has purpose in music.

Notice particularly the special assignments given to singers and the special provision for singers in 2 Chronicles and Nehemiah. God also uses trumpets, harps, and other musical instruments for His purposes.

Satan also instigates the use of music amongst God's people to enhance his deceitful influence. Obviously, he has accomplished his agenda amongst many well intended Christians. Particularly, we see a weak endeavor to know what music comes from the heart of God and what derives from the mind of Satan and little desire to discern the difference.

The music pattern of your church is very revealing about the intent and motive that drives that ministry.

Biblically based music is not intended to draw the world... it is separate from the world. Unlike biblical music, worldly/contempary music with religion sprinkled on it, is at its core a predator for the emotion of the vulnerable and carnal believer... while Biblical based music compels devotion to the one and only true God... The Lord Jesus Christ (Col. 3;16). Amen!

Sincerely, Dr. Arthur Belanger
