Ne-am mai ocupat mintea şi tastaturile şi cu alte ocazii gîndindu-ne la muzică. Martor ne este eticheta aceasta (cam 450 de postări pe această temă pînă acum, adică aproape 20% din blog).
Articolul pe care îl propun pune o problemă interesantă: putem prelua linii melodice care au făcut carieră în baruri, spre exemplu, pentru a le converti şi apoi cînta în Biserică? Există şi reversul? Da! Am fost martorul unei scene incredibile în urmă cu vreo 22 de ani, cînd cineva a luat o melodie compusă pentru corul Sion din Iaşi şi a cîntat-o la o petrecere de absolvire cu versurile schimbate. Dintr-un cîntec dedicat lui Dumnezeu a devenit un cîntec-declaraţie de amor.
Acelaşi cor Sion a confiscat tangouri precum “acum unde eşti Iuda, acum unde eşti Nero… “, tangouri care s-au cîntat cu foc în biserică.

We stirred up a little bit of controversy at the church I serve recently by using secular songs as background music during the greeting time. As a church, we’ve used secular songs for openers and specials for about 13 years but not in this capacity and not this regularly. The questions raised by our concerned few have led to some great teaching moments as we explore what the Bible says about a Christian’s relationship with all artifacts of human expression and society at large. I present my best understandings below in hopes that they enrich your ministry and embolden your church body to courageously engage in the society they minister to.
1. All truth is God’s truth, regardless of the source. The personal righteousness of a creator or artist has surprisingly little to do with the truthfulness of their work. Many humans who deny God in their personal lives create artifacts that celebrate His truths. We make no apologies for using work (music, video, stories, quotes, or otherwise) by non-Christians if it contains truth.
