Doing the Work of God Deceitfully—part 1
What many Christian musicians have
forgotten is that direction determines destiny.
If you start west on I 70 from Indianapolis, you will not arrive in
Columbus, Ohio, no matter how much you desire to go east to Columbus,
Ohio. Getting a crowd’s attention by
emphasizing the flesh will by no means draw them to Christ. If a performer maximizes the physical, by
doing so he or she minimizes the spiritual.
If a performer sings religious music and at the same time draws
attention to the flesh, he or she will get a message across to the audience,
but this message will not be good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ. The reason one cannot successfully sell
sacred things with the sensual is that the Bible states in Galatians 6:6-9
that it just won’t work.
Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him
that teacheth in all good things. Be not
deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also
reap. For he that soweth to his flesh
shall of the flesh reap corruption: but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of
the Spirit reap life everlasting. And
let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint
not.
