Losing influence

Regarding the article “Agnew shares message of Christ’s love” in the Oct. 2 issue of The Alabama Baptist, the following statement is made about Agnew’s musical journey: “God is larger than any words and music is something beyond words.” 

Where in the Bible is this found? If this statement is true why did God use words to communicate His truth to us? Why did He not use music? This statement is simply not true. 

The gospel is still the power of God unto salvation, not music, not programs, not new ideas, just the simple and profound gospel of Jesus Christ, expressed face-to-face as was always the case from the time Jesus chose His first followers and sent them out two-by-two.
