Interview:

Throughout the centuries of man’s relationship with God, we see music being used as a way to connect the human with the divine, the finite with the eternal; a way, to lift us out of ourselves and point us to the uncreated God. There is something about music that bypasses our intellect, going beyond even our emotions, and touches the very core of our being. It is this medium, these sounds arranged in melodies and harmonies, both simple and ornate, ancient and cutting-edge, that unlock the door of our innermost being in a way nothing else can. From the psalms of David, which he sang with abandon before the Lord in open fields, to electronic riffs that echo off stadium walls; music can be a place we meet with God and He meets with us. The Psalmist said it well when he wrote, “Deep calls to deep at the sound…” (Psalm 42:7a, New American Standard Bible). I believe it is most often a sound that God uses to connect the deep places in us to the deep places in Him. Music resonates with our spirit man, allowing us to express our longing for God in the only way we can – worship.

“Music resonates with our spirit man, allowing us to express our longing for God in the only way we can – worship.”
– Robert Stearns, author of “Prepare The Way, Or Get Out Of The Way!”
