Colossians 3:16

Colossians 3:16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.

How are we supposed to let the word of Christ dwell in us if we don’t continually take it in? Here we are exhorted to have it dwell in us in all wisdom by teaching and correcting each other, with singing. Music and singing are powerful teaching tools, tools that can be used pointlessly without a care as to what is being taught or perhaps to teach that which is evil, or better yet as tools to help teach others about the word of Christ. I personally listen to music a lot of the time and know how addicting it can be, so why not make a point of listening to psalms hymns and spiritual songs, and learning to sing them as well?

Application-I will make a habit of listening to music that is edifying.
