Christian Musicians Have an Enemy-part 1

 Christian Musicians Have an Enemy-part 1

Although it is not popular to mention Satan in many Christian circles, there is a real devil!  Ephesians 6:12 tells Christians to “put on the whole armor of God that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.”  Why do church musicians believe that there are no stratagems or wiles of the devil concerning church music?  Why do pastors and music ministers believe that Satan has left church music alone and that when it comes to music the devil has no bright ideas?   Satan is the prince of the evil in this world (see St. John 14:30) in which we live and that includes music.  We were all once caught in the “wheel” of this world system, however, Ephesians 2:2 explains that Christians are no longer a part of this world system when it says, “Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience”. 

 So, those who are walking according to the course of this world are truly programmed and are caught in the “wheel”.  Since they are a part of this world system, church musicians who are of this world are synthesis thinkers who believe that the only way to authenticate themselves in this rationally absurd universe is to validate THEMSELVES with THEIR MUSIC.  Somehow these synthesis thinkers believe that although they should not take a stand against the music of this world system, they can authenticate THEIR music ministry by using the music of this world to win the lost to Christ.
