It is interesting because the worship pastor in our church just gave a message on this last Sunday. He believe the Lord gave him a matrix to help sort out music and media choices. Every kind of media or music can fall into one of four categories.
1. Direct Worship / Redemptive: These are hymns or worship music that directly praise God.
2. Indirect Worship / Redemptive: These are songs speak about our Christian experience and promote the fruit of the Spirit.
3. Non-worship / Redemptive: Music or media (whether written by Christians or non-Christians) that talk about the good things in the human experience, that uplift and promote the following: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.
4. Non-worship / Non-redemptive: Music or media that promotes or glories in the sinful things listed in Galatians 5:19-21.
As Christians, we have freedom in Christ to enjoy the first three types of music or media regardless of genre. But we are to avoid #4.
