Does the End Justify the Means When We Music?

            There is a common twenty-first century praxis of religious music performance in which attention is placed paramountly on the performer’s “self”.  This may include the use of one’s body to draw attention to the performer.  Many male and female Christian performers use bodily movements, and even sensual innuendos to first draw the audience’s attention to the PERFORMER.

            This Jesuit music philosophy of "the end justifies the means" allows suggestive dress, suggestive bodily movements and the use of microphone techniques is such a way as to place the performer in the intimate zone of the audience.  Remember this pseudo Christian humanism not only allows the performer to draw audiences to “self” but also promotes the “lifting up” of self as first and foremost in Christian music making.  This philosophy promotes self first in order to present the Savior second.  Remember this philosophy of “the end justifies the means” allows almost anything if the end result is the presentation of the gospel.
