Instead of extracting us from the trappings of daily life and drawing our thoughts upward, it's a seventh-inning stretch just before the preaching. Instead of glorifying God, it's a stroke to the egos of a few performers. Martin Luther said music is a servant created and given by God. He was right. As long as the style doesn't overshadow or contradict the message and the message is accurate, music is a matter of preference.
Truth is the wellspring from which all genuine worship flows.
Truth is what makes music a load-bearing pillar in the church and not an ornament. When our music is based in truth, it elevates our thoughts of God. It propels our hearts toward heaven in a way nothing else can. It thrills us, and at the same time, plows deep into the hardened soil of our hearts. Above all, it takes our eyes off ourselves and gives glory to God.
