Why Music Matters To God | Eric Hovind & Ben Everson | Creation Today Show #384

Music is a universal language. It transcends cultures and generations, has the power to touch the heart and speak directly to the soul. But what does the Bible say about music? How does it influence our faith and daily living?

Let’s look at how sacred music has been used throughout history to worship and glorify God, how secular music reflects the culture and times in which we live, and the criteria that distinguish good music from bad. Through scriptural insights and thoughtful discussion, we'll uncover the divine purpose behind music and its role in our spiritual journey. Whether you are a musician, a music lover, or simply curious about the spiritual dimensions of melody and harmony, you will gain a valuable perspective on why music truly matters to God.

Join Eric Hovind and Ben Everson as they examine the four quadrants of music: Sacred, Secular, Good, and Bad.

Regarding my questioning of "Rock of Ages" I have this to say: Due to nerves and the excitement of being live, I wasn’t as clear as I should have been. My concern is with the use of the word "water, " not necessarily with the concept of a "double cure." Yes, water did flow from Christ, but the Bible tells us that we are saved by His blood, not by water. I believe that the use of this lyric could be misleading. However, it does seem that most people interpret the "double cure" as referring to being saved from sin and then being made pure, which I also discovered through a bit of online research. So, perhaps this isn't the best example to illustrate my point. If the hymn writer were alive, we could ask for clarification. :) Nonetheless, there are other examples of hymn texts that are theologically inaccurate, so I still believe my overall point stands: just because a song is old or traditional doesn’t mean it’s inspired.

I have a vinyl collection of children's Christian music from the 1980s and 1990s. Psalty is classic! Kids are grown, and one has become an athiest, but I still love them! (Both my son and his old music.)
