Sing to the Lord Author Introduction | Brian Lee

• What is God’s purpose for music?
• Was music present at creation?
• Why are there so many songs in Scripture?
Music has always been an integral part of the Christian faith. We sing when we’re happy. We praise God for His blessings. We lift up our hands and cry out to Him when our needs are raw. By singing, our hearts, bodies, and minds are pulled heavenward. Why is music such a powerful force for the believer?
Join Today in the Word’s managing editor Jamie Janosz and devotional author Dr. Brian Lee for a conversation about this month’s Bible study: Sing to the Lord: Music in the Bible. Dr. Lee is a professor of music at Moody Bible Institute as well as a professional musician and Juilliard graduate. Listen as he helps us understand the biblical design for music and gives us a deeper appreciation of this wonderful gift.

Beautiful! Thank you

What a wonderful performance! I looked up the lyrics to the song and they are a great reminder to be ready because our King Jesus is coming! Only two days into the devotional and I’m already excited about this study. “We are called to believe and live the words we sing in daily worship to the King. And we have a God who can enable us through the Holy Spirit to do so. May our music in worship be rooted in our daily walk with Him!” Amen, Professor Lee!
