Re: Is it God or the Music?
I think the songs speak to things that we can relate to and they move us.
We have all been through situations where it seemed like the whole world was crumbling around us and yet God was our one constant.
The words of a song like "The Anchor Holds" speak to us and remind us of those times. Those remembrances are moving and remind us that God is our one constant that we can always have faith in. That moves us to praise Him and worship Him.
When the song is being sang and heard by those in attendance the words are sand and received on an individual basis by those present and their reaction and interaction with God as a result of those words have everything to do with their own life and life experiences in relation to God and nothing to do with whomever took a pen to the words the first time nor their lifestyle.
If someone sings that song in your church next service and the Spirit of God moves. He will be honoring their own faith and worship and the faith and worship of those hearing the song at that moment. Not Ray Boltz or anyone else who had to do with the writing of the song.
