Metaphysical Monday: Music in Scripture
Since the aim of this column is to explore that area where music and faith intersect, I figure it’s important to look at Scripture and see what Scripture says about music, both descriptively and prescriptively. The Bible is replete with mentions of music, both in the Old Testament and New Testament. A couple weeks ago we discussed King David’s rad harp playing (so brutal it exorcised a demon from Saul!) and some of the hymns of the early church in Acts. Let’s go a little further, shall we?… Continued →

Metaphysical Monday: A Still, Small Voice
Music is a reflection of the character of God. It shows us the various emotions that God has and the various attributes of God’s character. When you listen to a Chopin etude, you can be amazed at the complexity of the human mind, which was fashioned in the image of God’s mind. When you listen to the aggressive sounds of Demon Hunter, you can be reminded of God’s vengeance against sin or His jealousy for our praise. When you listen to the soothing sounds of a Starflyer 59 song (perhaps No New Kinda Story), you can be reminded of God’s eternal peace and that nothing takes Him by surprise.… Continued →
