What is God doing? Is this planet, this troubled world, the end of the story, or the beginning? As we continue our series on truth-seeking, we have looked at how science and facts produce a kind of faith. Now we see how the arts open insights into truth that are elusive when we confine ourselves to the written word of the Bible. The heart of God can often be more clearly seen in music than in the doctrinal teachings that seem to box so many sincere Christians into a notion of a dark and angry deity. We will get to the "proof texts" culture soon. In the meantime enjoy the music... After all, the angels sang of good tidings, great joy, for all people.

What are God's intentions for the human race?  In music -- ancient, classical and contemporary -- we find a more positive and hopeful tone. That's what Tim Krupa and I discuss in this episode. 

Recorded at Cannon Beach, Oregon, with the sounds of the ocean in the background, I hope you enjoy our discussion of the transforming power of music in the lives of both Christians and everyone else.

A postscript discusses three important parts of being a victorious Christian -- honesty, service, and love without hypocrisy. It is episode 203 (Season 2, Episode 3)
