There Is Danger in the Old Life and the Old Song-part 4

             Much of jazz, rock, pop, and country music (and a host of other new styles of pop music) has been designed by the composers, arrangers and poets to fill men and women’s minds with hate, lust, deceit and all kinds of mistrust and dark sinful desires.  This is the reason Satan is trying so hard to influence composers and performers to make absolutely no difference between religious music and the world’s music. He is trying to fool us into believing that it doesn’t matter if we sing God-honoring words with dance rhythms and a and a beat with a forward propelling directionality that obscures the Christ centered message and appeals primarily to the lust of the flesh.

            Christians must constantly be cognizant of the fact that when Satan suggests that nothing really matters in church music (except words), he is trying to fool church musicians into believing that it is all right for our church music to appeal directly to the body.  If he can make us believe such nonsense then our church music will soon be filled with dancing and physical appeal.  Remember the Bible says, “Walk not after the flesh but rather after the Spirit.”  If the most important things about our church music are loud sounds and a very, very strong rhythm and beat, then our church music is not spiritual music, because it doesn’t follow Bible principles of sacred music.
