Music: Blessing or Danger? From David’s psalms to Gregorian chants, from hymns and organs to modern Evangelical rock and pop, and Pentecostals singing in tongues, music has long been a central feature of worship. But is music truly a divine tool, fostering reverential healing, teaching, and spiritual connection? Or is it a dangerous vehicle for sin, temptation, idolatry, and distraction? Is the emotional power of music a gift, or does it dangerously overshadow doctrine? Should music serve the message of Scripture, or can it exist on its own as a form of worship? Is it possible for music to glorify God without making sense? Explore the role of music in worship, its capacity to elevate or mislead, to strengthen or distract and wrestle with the question: Is music a profound blessing, or a subtle danger to the soul? |
