Colossians 3:16 “ Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs,singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.”-
Music, the key that opens the door that allows the heart to express its soul. The music we listen to and sing to allows us to enter into His presence. The implication is that music is a way we use to help admonish and teach one another the things of God. It is important that we don’t feed our minds with music that does not glorify God. All secular music (music that does not infer God) is not bad. Lyrics that invite fleshly carnal desires and cause one to think sinful thought are to be abstained. “ And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father by Him.” are the words of Paul given to us in the next verse. Genre of music in our day are many, and we all have our individual taste to what appeals to our spirit. There are some genre that I have a hard time listening to even when Christian lyrics are used, but God uses means beyond my understanding to speak to the hearts of people. I enjoy listening to music that lifts up the name of Jesus. It feeds my soul and I can express my love and adoration. Let the music we sing and listen to be pleasing to God and lift our spirit to live a life in Christ.
