Unifying 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 and post 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.
Thought for the Day
Many millennials have been raised by permissive parents who
have given them their way since they were tiny Children. So, when it comes to sacred music and
musicians getting their way is simply a way of life.
