Answer: It is entertaining and we enjoy it. We listen to escape, and we get positive encouragement from Christian music. The Scriptures encourage us not only to listen, but to: “Make a joyful noise unto the Lord…Serve the Lord with gladness: come before His presence with singing” (Psalm 100:1, 2). The psalmist David said: “I will be glad and rejoice in Thee: I will sing praise to Thy name, O Thou most High” (Psalm 9:2). “Praise ye the Lord. Sing unto the Lord a new song, and His praise in the congregation of saints” (Psalm 149:1).
Likes for music are individualized, but our music can often be heard by others. So we should consider when we listen to music that we do not provide any “occasion of stumbling” to our brother (1 John 2:10). “If meat [or music] make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend” (1 Corinthians 8:13).The best music is linked with the outpouring of the heart. And the Lord says: “My son give me thine heart” (Proverbs 23:26). Ask ourselves: “What is this song doing in my heart?” We should be a singing people, and all music is lawful, for we are not under law, but we should be sure that the music we listen to is “profitable,” and that we are not brought “under the power of” the music itself. (1 Corinthians 6:12).
