03/07/2023 – “The transformative power of classical music” by Benjamin Zander. // The Argument for an unfathomably all sovereign and all loving God, called The Argument from Aesthetic Experience: “1). There is the music of Johann Sebastian Bach. 2.) Therefore there must be a God. You either see this one or you don’t.”
My quote in the title is from: “Pocket Handbook of Christian Apologetics” by Peter Kreeft and Ronald K. Tacelli. Notice, I did not say: ” Bach is a god!” Transformative Christian worldview thinking (Romans 12:2): There is no direction that we walk in life that God does not speak to. This is why we study His Word, over and over again, immersed in prayer.
Benjamin Zander was the conductor of the Boston Philaharmonic Orchestra for over two decades, but it is once again, “not about the messenger.
I trust those of you who experience this presentation, will receive a blessing as I did. Notice : 1). Benjamin’s definition of success, and 2) The lady who grieves over the loss of her brother in Auschwitz, and vows: “I resolve to never again say anything that would not stand as the very last thing I would say in this life.” Let us resolve to be that warrior messenger to a lost world.” // “To whom much is given, much will be required.” Luke 12:48
Soli Deo Gloria!
