Although
music is extremely
important it is not the most important spiritual need of a
believer!It
can not be denied that gospel music holds a vitally important and inspirational
role in the Church and the life of believers. Truly, we can never get enough. Musicians are
eternally motivated to crave music. Yet, the inspiration of music in and of
itself does not complete all the spiritual needs of musicians. Only the power of
God's Word heard, studied and applied, along with prayer can maintain a
musician's ideal communion and fellowship with God.
Too often, musicians seek to satisfy their
colossal musical appetites at the expense of leaving Bible study as just another
option, left over time, or momentary spiritual treat. Unfortunately, the
modern-day Church does not experience the full impact and fruit of what God does
through born-again, Holy Ghost-filled, Bible literate musicians. It is common
for musicians in the Church to operate more as scheduled employees than an
additional group of spiritually gifted people bonded in fellowship and sharing
all the dimensions of the Church Body. Customarily and habitually, musicians
attend Church services without bringing a Bible, or they may bring a Bible but often left
unread during the ministry of God's Word.It is a public contradiction of the music
ministry to sing about a God that you have not communed with. Talking to other
people about how great and wonderful your wife isn't a substitute for time you
should spend telling her how adorable she is. In like manner, there's too much
talk about God rather than talk to God. Ironically, it is typical for ministers
to talk more about God than talk to God. For these reasons, musicians in the
Church need to develop and establish a daily discipline of prayer and studying
the Word of God. Humbly, I Pastor D., charge and challenge you to
resubmit and commit yourself to the daily study of God's Word and prayer.
