So true !
Music does influence our response to God. It helps us respond to God.
I think this might be seen in the fact that Saul called for music when he felt low or oppressed and the music lifted his spirit.
But I do agree, with some posters, that much of the "shockamoo girations" that are used to judge how spiritual one is, in some of our churches are largley driven by a 4 / 4 beat of a drum and a Hammond B3.
