STOP AND THINK – Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life. (Berthold Auerbach, 19th century German-Jewish author and poet)
Music is surely a gift of God. Like every other gift, it can be used for good or misused. When it is performed well—whether vocally or instrumentally—it brings great satisfaction both to the performer(s) and the listener(s). The cares and concerns of life can be washed away quickly to the strains of music. And music can have an edifying spiritual effect, as well.
Teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts. (Colossians 3:16)
