There Is Danger in the Old Life and the Old Song-part 2

There Is Danger in the Old Life and the Old Song-part 2

            The new man, in order to be a worker together with God, has to make some changes in his life; and I tell you that some of these changes include music.  God has commanded that the NEW MAN must not be squeezed into the world’s mold of music.  The new man must not act, look like and sound exactly like the world.  The destructive music of the old life must go.  If musicians who have experienced the new birth and are therefore new creatures in Christ Jesus, they must not hang onto destructive music of the old life.  If they do, pretty soon they will be in danger of being drawn back into the Godless habits and actions of the old life again.

             If church fellowships want new converts to make big changes in their lives, Christian musicians must not feed them a diet of the “old song”.  If these new Christians follow after music styles that were created to appeal to the flesh, they will be tempted back into the old life and the old ways.  I don’t understand why church musicians want to sing just like Satan’s crowd, play their instruments just like Satan’s crowd, sound just like Satan’s crowd and dress just like Satan’s crowd.  How could we as church musicians possibly think that by letting ourselves be squeezed into Satan’s mold, we are going to pull sinners out of Satan’s pit?

Scripture for the Day

Ephesians 2:15-16, “Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace; And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:”
