A Unified Field of Knowledge –part 6
Christian musicians who are
pluralists constantly remind the thesis thinker that we are in the 21st
century and “this is just how it is”.
Remember that this synthesis thinker is by no means a hypocrite since he
believes with all his heart that one of the most important aspects of
Christianity is to “fit in”. This person
does not believe in bearing the reproach that comes from taking a stand against
the things of the world. He seems to
have forgotten I Peter 4:14, “If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy
are ye; for the spirit of the glory of God resteth upon you: on their part he
is evil spoken of, but on your part, he is glorified”.
Since the world does not agree with a
Christian musician for his or her careful conservative stand on music, worldly
church musicians fear that these sinners will be alienated musically and will
not be able to be reached with the gospel.
So, the postmodern church reacts in a semi-panic, gives in to what they
believe will please the worldly church attender, and by default the world
prescribes what is best for church music instead of the church.
