God’s ways are higher than the ways
of the world. We, as Christian
musicians, should notice that the world sells everything from food to liquor
with sex. The world uses man’s depraved
nature and man’s natural sexual appetite for that matter, to present a
multiplicity of products. Why can’t
Christians take advantage of man’s depraved nature and his natural sexual
appetite for that matter to present the good news of the gospel? The reason is that as Galatians 5:17 states,
“For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the
flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the
things that ye would.”
The Galatian writer makes it very clear that
the flesh and the sprit are contrary one to the other when verse seventeen
tells us that the flesh lusts against the spirit. The Bible teaches that the flesh and the
spirit are not compatible. It is a
mystery to me that so many Christian musicians are determined to try to work
them side by side as a team. Placing the
flesh and the spirit side by side is like placing a lion and a lamb in the same
harness. If one does, there is no doubt
about it; the lion will eat the lamb.
There is another reason that
Christian musicians should not sell sacred things with sex. It is deceitful to get people’s attention
with sexual innuendoes and then hit them with the life-changing gospel of Jesus
Christ.
