Music Appreciation

Did you know that God made us to enjoy music?
  • It’s part of being human.
  • It’s part of praising God.
  • It’s part of self-expression (bad and good).
It soothes, calms, excites, enrages, and compromises us depending on what type of music we choose.

I recently saw a video called Alive Inside about an elderly man living in a nursing home.

As the video starts, he's barely alive, sitting slumped over all day, rarely speaking. 

Then they hook him up to an ipod with a collection of music, including Christian music, and he's transformed.

He comes alive in ways he’s been dead for years: he speaks with enthusiasm, sings, and expresses his feelings and thoughts.

Music is a powerful aspect of our lives, another way we are finely tuned by our Creator. 

Make sure that your music is a positive influence with lyrics pleasing to the Lord. It need not all be Christian, but be sure to include songs to the Lord (Psalm 33:3).

    1. Yes, Amanda, we are meant to cry out to the Lord in song...if we fail to do it, the rocks will cry out! Luke 19:40. Bless you!
