The music program at Faith is purposefully conservative. For this reason, we do not use music that is readily associated with the sound that the world produces to minister for a holy, separated God.
Music is truly one of the most powerful forces in human experience. It touches us physically, emotionally, mentally and especially spiritually. Given that Galatians 5:17 tells us that “the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other . . .”, it is only reasonable that we need to seriously consider where music fits into this war between the flesh and Spirit.
God is the creator of all things, which includes music. All things were created to bring God glory (Isa. 28:xx) and the scriptures are clear that music was first and foremost made to glorify the Lord:
“Worship the Lord with gladness;
come before him with joyful songs.”
Psa. 100:2
“Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.”
Colossians 3:16
"It came even to pass, as the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the Lord; and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of musick, and praised the Lord, saying, For he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever: that then the house was filled with a cloud, even the house of the Lord;"
2 Chronicles 5:13
At Faith, we take these scriptures seriously and seek to use music that is holy, God-honoring, worshipful and respectful. We truly believe that the music used at Faith is not primarily for our enjoyment, but for God’s glory.
