I Chronicles 25:1
Moreover David and the captains of the host separated to the service of the
sons of Asaph, and of Heman, and of Jeduthun, who should prophesy with harps,
with psalteries, and with cymbals … David wrote many Psalms. A psalm is a
song. The word, prophesy, in the Old Testament means to preach. So David
appointed singers who were to preach with their singing. And that’s really what
good singing should do: a gospel song should preach the Gospel! A hymn should
praise the name of the Lord! Good music is not just a catchy tune; good music
should move the heart and speak to the mind. Good music is good preaching.
