ometimes the force of a quotation is delivered as much by who made it as what it was they said. Here is a good example.
“With music one can seduce men to every error—and every truth.”
—Friedrich Nietszche
My lands, if an atheist understands the power of music, how is it that the church does not?
So, pastor and/or song leader:
- What is your philosophy of the role of music in your church service?
- Is the preaching of the word of God central to your service, or is the music the main attraction?
- Do you coordinate the music in your service to compliment the preaching of God’s word?
- Do the words you sing build the body of Christ up in the same way as the preached word (Colossians 3:16), or is it just for entertainment value?
- To what are you seducing your congregation: truth or error?
