I am sorry but I think your comment borders on the ridiculous not to mention potentially damaging to anyone who has a music ministry. Music, as it's own language, can break barriers, revive, uplift, and restore people's hope! To say that we should not be driven by our passion to spread the love of Christ is absolutely tragic. Have you never sang a worship song at Church, or anywhere, regardless of the quality, that reassured you of God's grace and love? Your comment stating that personal satisfaction with your performance is more important than the message in your music is, in my opinion, "rubbish"! I am a singer/songwriter and my songs are about the massive impact Jesus has had on my life. I'm afraid the analogy about the Christian plumber just doesn't make any sense! Plumbing is not a form of communication. To say that lyrics, or any other form of writing or composition, is less important than enjoying performance is idiocy. If that were true then the Bible would be irrelevant because, as you state, it's the attitude, integrity, and ability of the writer, that is important and not the message itself. To say that God can't humble the heart of the soul through music or song is limiting His power. If that were true then what's the point of being a worship leader, a Christian Songwriter, or a Christian author? Why even bother with websites like Cross Rhythms? As you said, if people want to preach the Gospel they have to preach it. But why must that be the only way? I've seen people come to know the Lord at concerts and gigs. God can speak to anyone in anyway he chooses. It might be through song, preaching, an act of kindness, love, or, and this is relevant for me, save someone from certain death. I am sorry you felt the need to rant about music's inability to reach out and bring people closer to Christ. Dave and the Royal Foundlings write, perform, and record in order to honour God and His Kingdom. I can't see anything wrong with that. |
