“Christ's command to take the Gospel to the ends of the earth should inform and shape our theology of musical worship. It's unwise and unbiblical to think that churches in Bolivia, Indonesia, Uganda, and elsewhere must conform to an American definition of 'appropriate worship music'. When someone insists that we should only use 'the best music' to worship God, I scratch my head. Is the best music simple or complex, written or spontaneous, short or long? Do they mean the best aesthetically, pragmatically, emotionally, or historically? We usually already have in mind what we mean by 'best' and it often says more about our preferences than our theology. As I understand it, the 'best music' enables people to genuinely and consistently magnify the greatness of the Savior in their hearts, minds, and wills. (ch. 12)”
