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.
