If we faithfully followed God’s example, there would no longer be the crassness and cynicism of the throwaway or the false pomp and pretense of art for the ages. Nor would the Holy Spirit be continually pestered to turn poor work into blessed work.

The Christian musician has no right whatsoever to assume anything other than the mind of Christ and the Creatorhood of God should guide every note composed, arranged, played, and sung. This is nothing other than good stewardship.

The reason is simple: God the Creator has made it clear that function and worth, usefulness and integrity, are to be joined in every action.
