Principles of God's Will for Our Music - Part 1

God's will is not limited to just certain areas of the Christian life. He has a plan that includes everything that we do. That is why Proverbs 3 tells us to seek Him in ALL our ways. One of those areas in which we are to seek Him is music. While most Christians would embrace Proverbs 3:5-7 in theory, relatively few practice it when it comes to music. We instead build the music repertoire of our lives around what "naturally" appeals to us, or what we have developed an appetite for. However, personal preference and experience are not the criteria for choosing good music. The same principles of God's truth that form the foundation for every other area of life should be applied to music as well. When we begin this journey of evaluating the music in our lives according to God's standard, we would do well to remember three foundational truths about music: 1) Music is very personal; 2) Music IS communication; 3) Music is NOT amoral.
