Music has always been a part of the church and its worship. Evangelicals love music and it s difficult to imagine a church service without it! However, there is evidence that music is dividing today’s evangelical churches. Why should this be? Division in the past resulted from differences of opinion over theology. today, churches are breaking up over differences in musical styles. A particular musical style at the center of much of the controversy found in evangelical curches today is “rock and roll: or more simply, rock. Can the church put its stamp of approval on this style? How can the church avoid division over musical styles and worship programming? What biblical standards govern music? Rev. James Riccitelli examines these questions and encourages Christians to have a biblical and balanced worldview in regards to music.
