Lutheran Public Radio — Sacred Music

May 31st, 2012 Post by

Dear Issues, Etc. listener,

Pentecost greetings to you!

The reformer Martin Luther had this to say about the Holy Spirit, God’s Word and music:

The Holy Ghost himself honors music as an instrument for his proper work when in the Holy Scriptures he asserts that through her gifts were instilled in the prophets, namely, the inclination to all virtues, as can be seen in Elisha (2 Kings 3:15)…The gift of language combined with the gift of song was only given to man to let him know that he should praise God with both word and music, namely, by proclaiming the Word of God through music and by providing sweet melodies with words.

The Holy Spirit is working through God’s word put to music on Lutheran Public RadioSacred Music for the World.  You’ll hear hymns like “Thy Strong Word,” “The Church’s One Foundation, ” “Lord, Thee I Love with All My Heart,” “God’s Own Child I Gladly Say It,” “My Hope Is Built on Nothing Less” and more.

You can listen to sacred music 24/7 at Lutheran Public Radio.  You can also listen on mobile devices like an iPhone or iPad or any Android phone.

Thanks for listening!

    Is LPR going to keep broadcasting music throughout the “Green Season?”

    Are there enough songs to cover 97 weeks of the Pentecost season?

    This is excellent. Good change of pace when Kfuo plays mahler. Churches should advertise this in their bulletins.

    boaz – please ask your Pastor to do so. My Pastor has put a notice of LPR in the bulletin for several months now.

    I hope this is the beginning of more of a visual presence of the LCMS and confessional Lutheranism on the Internet, TV, and radio.

    Thank you LPR and Issues Etc.
