BROWN Quotes of the day The primary purpose of Christian music is to exalt Christ and glorify God. It is also divinely designed to edify the believer through teaching and admonishing. And lastly, although not a primary factor, it has proven helpful in winning the lost to Christ. ~Ken Lynch The first purpose of music is to exalt the Lord Jesus Christ and to glorify God. ~Ken Lynch The second purpose of Christian music, second only to the principle of bringing glory and honor to our Heavenly Father, is the edification of the saints. ~Ken Lynch Thirdly, good godly Christian music can have a dynamic effect in reaching the lost for Christ. It can produce conviction of sin because without conviction of sin, there can never be conversion from sin. ~Ken Lynch Both man and music are trichotomous, i.e., having three parts. Man is comprised of spirit, soul and body. Music, on the other hand, is made up of melody, harmony and rhythm. Each part of music primarily affects a different part of man and influences his response in that area, whether spiritual, intellectual or physical. ~Ken Lynch It is the melody that primarily influences the spiritual side of man. ~Ken Lynch Harmony is the intellectual side of music; therefore it is only natural that harmony most notably affects the intellectual side of man, his soul or his reason. ~Ken Lynch It does not take a lot of intelligence to figure out that the body responds, first and foremost, to rhythm. It is the beat [rhythm] that primarily ties music to human movement. ~Ken Lynch It must be reinforced that in the Kingdom of Music, Mr. Melody is to be the reigning monarch with both Mr. Harmony and Mr. Rhythm serving as faithful, loyal, and supportive subjects. ~Ken Lynch When either Mr. Harmony (though he is much more likely to be content in his position of servant) or Mr. Rhythm decide to begin a musical "coup" and attempt to dethrone King Melody, musical anarchy, chaos, and confusion result. ~Ken Lynch Music that emphasizes rhythm over the other two elements of music is a style that appeals primarily to the flesh or the body. That which appeals to the flesh is not that with which God is pleased. ~Ken Lynch "One of the elements of rebellion in rock music is the disorderly insistence that rhythm be the main attraction. Rock-n-Roll is a form of music which gives preference to rhythm over BOTH melody and harmony thus throwing off the ESSENTIAL BALANCE intended for all musical styles." ~Tom Allen Sin is doing what God says I am not to do and not doing what God says I am to do. Sin is also being what God says I am not to be, and not being what God says I am to be. ~Ken Lynch Too many people have the mistaken idea that separation is always a negative, that which I separate from. Remember, please, that Biblical separation is not primarily a negative (or that which I separate from), but a positive (that which I separate unto). The whole doctrine and practice of separation, Biblically, is rooted in the holiness of God. ~ken Lynch Before I can (or will) be separated "from", I must first be separated "unto." ~Ken Lynch Having understood the importance of being separated unto the Lord, it follows then that, in order to please my Lord, it is essential that I separate from all that displeases Him or is contrary to His Word. ~Ken Lynch The primary purpose of Biblical separation is to maintain a difference between light and darkness, both physically and spiritually. It is to always maintain a distinction between the holy and unholy and between the clean and the unclean. ~Ken Lynch Singing in the choir is not a place to "show off" your beautiful voice. It is a time and place to join your voice with other voices to make one united voice for the Lord. ~Ken Lynch
