f. Does your song selection over the course of approximately 3 months overemphasize any particular doctrinal message or aspect of God’s character? These questions are provided to help make practical the biblical teaching of this chapter on the acceptable content, purpose and focus of music in the church according to God’s word. They are meant to be used as guidelines for prayerful evaluation of church music ministries. The chapter to follow will reveal many examples which clearly prove that the purpose driven music paradigm’s belief that all forms of instrumental music are morally neutral is false.
CHAPTER 5 What is music and are it’s effects morally neutral? Rhythm and melody supply imitations of anger and gentleness, and of courage and temperance, and of all qualities contrary to these and of other qualities of character, which hardly fall short of the actual affections, as we know from our own experience, for in listening to such strains our souls undergo a change...Enough has been said to show that music has a power of forming character,…-Aristotle (Aristotle, Theory of Music, in Antaeus On Music, ed. Daniel Halpern (Hopewell, NJ: Ecco Press, 1993), pp. 4-6.) Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and charm and gaiety to life and to everything…For they must beware of change to a strange form of music, taking it to be a danger to the whole. For never are the ways of music moved without the greatest political laws being moved, as Damon says, and I am persuaded. ...'So it's surely here in music, as it seems,' I said' that the guardians must build the guardhouse. 'At least,' he said, this kind of lawlessness easily creeps in unawares...it attacks laws and regimes with much insolence until it finally subverts everything private and public. (Plato, The Republic of Plato, trans. Alan Bloom (New York: Basic Books, Inc., 1968), p. 424.) According to the philosophy of the ancient Chinese, music was the basis of every thing. In particular they believed that all civilizations are shaped and molded according to the kind of music performed within them....a civilization remained stable and unchanged as long as its music remained unchanged... Confucius believed there to be a hidden significance to music which made it one of the most important things in life, possessing potentially tremendous power fo r good or evil. And we discover the same basic beliefs in every advanced civilization of antiquity. It was the same in Mesopotamia. The same again in cultures as far apart as India and Greece...Music was not conceived by any of them, as it is conceived today, as being an intangible art form of little practical significance." (David Tame, The Secret Power of Music , Rochester, VT: Destiny Books, 1984), pp. 15-16.) The purpose of this chapter is to answer the question as to whether or not instrumental music is morally neutral and whether or not it has an inherent moral message even when it’s divorced from lyrics. The questions above from three of the world’s all-time greatest human intellects testify to the tremendous moral power of instrumental music. This isn’t to say that the mere human opinion of such great philosophical minds settles the debate. The opinions of these men may serve to open minds to receive from the scriptures the answer to this question.
