Thinking Through What Really Matters-part 4

Evangelical Christians are in danger of accepting a new music philosophy of worship that has lost its historical meaning.  Historically, church music has represented the worldview of Christians – not the worldview of those who were anti-Christ.  Much of what contemporary Christian music represents is not clearly a Christ-centered worldview.  Music style is one of the ways for a composer to present his worldview.  This is especially true when a style of music like rock music is so almost universally associated with a sub-culture.

 All over the world people of most nations know that rock music is associated with mistrust, sex, drugs, and rebellion.  So, some churches have accepted a style of music that muddies the water of clear Christian witness.  When Satan completes his stratagems concerning church music the new synthesis witness is saturated with the antichrist witness simply by association.  Is this theory farfetched?  I do not think so.
