Christians are called to be in the world but not of it. We are called to be God’s truth bearers in every arena. As classical Christian education emphasizes, worldview is not transmitted by mere brute facts. Rather, the arts are primary means through which beliefs and values are transferred from one generation to the next. It is for this reason that the arts, particularly the music that we use in our services of worship, must be carefully evaluated for that which communicates a unity of truth. Therefore the Church should embrace the historic Christian worldview as the keystone of Christian culture, as only this worldview gives us the understanding of reality that we need to employ Christian wisdom in the arts, and thus form disciples that know and live Christian truth.
