This sounds like a great title to a book but, unfortunately, this is just going to be a blog post. I am very big on talking about honoring God through things like art, music, writing, singing, athletics, even dancing. All these types of activities can, and should, be done to the glory of God. But especially music and singing. That is prominent in Scripture and every church worship service has some sort of singing and usually music accompanying it. So I figured it would be good to briefly go into the value of music to the Christian, how to honor God with it, and the importance of theology to music, as I understand it. First, the value of music. God is God of the good, true, and beautiful. Music, good music at least, along with good singing, is truly beautiful, like a work of art. We are to develop our God given gifts and abilities, for His glory. So the value of music is that it is a beautiful and unique way of glorifying God. Not only that, but we are commanded explicitly to honor...
