Unifying Knowledge –part 6


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.
