One of the things I run into a lot in music ministry and this happens to myself as well, is that we often do music because of habit, background or tastes and don't really think about what we are doing. Often at this time of year many Christian colleges do spring concerts. At the suggestion of a friend, I was watching one of them, and one of the numbers that was sung was an old gospel song from the 1930s. “Just a little talk with Jesus”. You may have heard or sung it as well. I heard it a lot, growing up in mountain churches in Tennessee. There is an interesting line in the chorus of “when you feel a little prayer wheel turning, you will know a little fire is burning”. A prayer wheel is not found in scripture. It is a Buddhist device for praying mantras and spreading positive energy. While I could address many of the other problematic issues with the theology of this song in general, Buddhistic prayers are not something we should be spreading through our songs in our church, college or school. We must consider the biblical premise that the Word of Christ be admonishing our psalms hymns and spiritual songs. The next time you select a song for your congregation whether it be a choir number, a special, or a hymn. Think about it. The theology of your song matters. What doctrine are you teaching with your music this Sunday?
