HAPPY YEAR 2011!

"He who has learned to love the New Life can sing the song again. So the new song reminds us of New Life. New Man new song, new will. .. all belong to one and only Kingdom. "

"He who has learned to love the New Life can sing the song again. So the new song makes us think of the New Life. New Man new song, will again ... all belong to one and only Kingdom "(St. Augustine).
The Christian who sincerely seeks to know the place that music should occupy in his own life, is in the Word of God a general rule can be applied to any area of \u200b\u200byour life:" Do everything for the Glory of God "(1 Cor 10, 31).
" For none of us lives for himself and no one dies to himself " (Rm 14, 7). "Christ died so that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for Him who died and rose for them" (2 Cor 5, 15). "That in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ" (1 Peter 4, 1 l). If we are born again of water and the Spirit, desire to do all things, including music for the glory of God. All my things are under the gaze of my Father, I am his son and live according to Him to accept music listening, we write, we sing or play alone or with others to contribute to glorify God.
do something for the glory of God means that we want Him to receive all the Honor and Praise of our action and is better known, loved and served. Therefore, we give up our own personal glory.
The world of music, like all artistic activity, has been diverted to the glorification of man. One of the goals recognized or not of the artists is to make a name. And Jesus says about this: "among you, not so" (Mt 20.26). in a common prayer or any liturgical celebration is inconceivable that musicians and singers are actors. Music is offered to God as prayers. We gather in the name of the Lord to enjoy the music or to appreciate its quality.
"All me things are allowed, but I will not be enslaved by anything. "Even the best things can become a threat to my freedom if they become indispensable to my comfort, if I can not live without them. Today the music has become for many a drug that would be very difficult to do without. Music is a wonderful means by which God can give peace, joy, strength .... but always remain a means, such as food or medicine, in the hands of God.
is not the music itself from whom I expect these benefits, but my Father who loves me. I avoid, therefore, spend more time, forces, or receptive to what the Lord shows me how convenient to not depend on it. For many "audiophiles" music has become a substitute religion. They need it to calm down or cheer. Expect of it what we expect of God: Consuelo, inner transformation, communion with others ...
Music is a servant of God, if it does not take place, it becomes an idol, a false God. Making music for the glory of God to serve God is known, as it truly is, as many people. Glorify The Name of God "(Jn 17:18) is manifest and to recognize its qualities: Your Majesty, Your Grace, Your Tenderness Your Beauty. The music glorifies God when it reflects these qualities and evoke within the audience. "A music for the Glory of God," says Kuen-Peace is a music in the sense of Shalom: Fullness, Accomplishment, Happiness. "
Paul, just after speaking of singing, says: "And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do it in the Name of Jesus" (Col, 3, 17).
do a thing in the name of someone is doing as he would have done, to represent their personality, their nature, do it with love and authority. Music made in the name of the Lord Jesus should reflect his person, his strength and his sweetness, his truth and purity, his love and its power, and also his zeal, his passion for the Father, his indignation at the evil. A music of this kind can have, according to the time, sounds strong, unique accents, different styles, but no pleasure in exciting or condition. Shall not be chaotic or exaggerated, but transmit the serenity and balance that arise from the triumph of God on all division and destruction.

In the Old Testament, the Levites, temple musicians were subject to the same obligations as their brothers. They had no privilege or wealth, God Himself was their inheritance (Num 18.29, Dt 10.9). Something similar has happened with those who are called to serve the Lord through music and song. A ministry of music as a ministry of advocacy or preaching a service to the Lord in the Community. Means, somehow, a consecration to God. The Community-

through their leaders, must maintain a requirement. Consistency spiritual life for all who are part of a music ministry. "But the musicians who live in an exemplary manner should be used in the Church", said once someone with experience in the matter.

Those who serve the Lord in this ministry are to love God and His Word than the music. Must have a vision of music and singing from the Word of God and the Tradition of the Church. They must have patience, emotional stability, ability to surrender and teamwork, enthusiasm and zeal, offset by good sense and good humor. At the base of it all: humility. Only a life of daily prayer and actual delivery can serve the Lord.
