Folks, If it looks
like a duck, walks like a duck, sounds like a duck, it IS a duck. If it looks like a wolf, acts like a wolf,
sounds like a wolf, it IS a wolf! Don't
be deceived just cuz the title on the album cover says Christian" "Beware of false prophets, which come to
you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. "Matt 7:15
Our TV cable
package includes a series of music stations. During the day I usually play
either the Classical station or the “Easy Listening” lineup softly in the
background.
Yesterday I either dropped the remote or sat on it. (I don’t remember which.) But suddenly this wild, weird, pounding music exploded across the room. I grabbed the remote and looked up. I thought it was a worldly rock station. I was shocked to see that I had switched it to a ‘Christian’ music station. I could hardly decipher the words, but the SPIRIT blasted out with all the ravening power of Satan.
Before you get up in arms, you really should read this…
Dan Lucarini, a former worship leader in the contemporary church scene, left the ‘Christian Music’ genre that mimics modern pop, rock, hip hop, and/or jazz, etc has taken a stand against the music he once promoted.
Read his comments here and then check out his book. I don’t know what his understanding is of the scriptures or even whether or not he is fundamentalist or what, but his stand on Modern ‘Christian’ music is sound.
At the heart of his argument is that rock music, and all forms of it, is a music style that was created by immoral men for immoral purposes.
Whether it's soft rock, pop/rock, jazz, praise and worship, Chris Tomlin, Delirious? or Hillsong, CCM is "scandalous and offensive because of where it came from and what it means around us in the world today," he argues.
"And I don't believe that Christians can just take it and sanctify it and call it holy," he says to those who say it can be used to reach people for God. "I think it's a mistake."
It's like serving a nice juicy steak on a garbage can lid (even if you try to scrub it, it remains a dirty garbage can lid), he explains.
