Gospel Music History

By Timmy Newton


Ever since some cognitive homo sapiens have set foot on Earth, music has seriously taken part of their lives. The folks belonging to the days of yore made their own musical arrangements by plucking strings and hitting things like wood, hide, or stone. The sounds of nature have also served as one pleasant musical sound for them. They no doubt took pleasure listening to the sound of the waterfalls, the animals, and even the weather-related reverberations.

Music has then taken another course. Across the passing of time, folk have invented creative means of making music. From the colleges to the churches, there's music. The music biz has also made varied categories of music for all occasions.

You will often see or hear people preaching about the Word of The Almighty. The gospel of the Lord is being delivered through the means of others who serve as His own instruments. Simply listening to His words enlightens your spirit, right? God has historically reminded His people to like each other as he adores everyone. He places each creation he has made under His care. Though every person has been made in His image and likeness, still nobody leads a perfect life. To put it in a much easier term, nobody is as perfect as God is.

One's spirituality and religion can so be manifested by several means. Reading the bible, following the 10 commandments of Almighty God, praying, singing gospel music, and attending mass are among the standard techniques by which one's spirituality is nourished. They regularly say that those that sing praise twice. So, by singing the gospel music, you are praising twice!
