“What music did God reject? The very pslams that He Himself had ordained for worship. This is profound! Pleasing God with music is first and foremost a mattter of the heart. This passage [Amos 5:21-24] ends the debate about which forms of music are good and which are bad. There is no question that the music in question was of good origin. The music came from God. Yet Israel used this wonderful music for her own ends. So, instead of building a closer relationship with God, it became a tool of estrangement from Him.”
