WINTER JAM 2015 – Charleston, WV by Dwane Karr

 Syncopated Noise by Dwane Karr

 Another Winter Jam has been staged in our home State of West Virginia,  and as normal we were there to voice our opposition to the failed attempt of the participating Laodicean churches to Christianize rock music. Since so many support Lucifer’s music being “used” by Christians to add to the church through fleshy means, I will not waste time telling of rock’s history.  The fact it began in Africa/Egypt and was used by VooDoo priests to summon the gods to come into the bodies of writhing dancers who jammed down to the syncopated beat of the tribal drums seems not to matter. Or that after  landing in New Orleans, it was played in the whore houses, speakeasies, and gambling dens of the red light district.

Instead I will make short comment on what God calls it…{{{NOISE}}}. God shows us the exact type of situation where you can find rock music being used in the Bible.

In Ex. 32 we find Moses and Joshua being sent back down the mountain because the people had made a golden calf and were getting naked and dancing around the false god Aaron had fashioned.  As they neared the camp (Ex.32:17) “Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said unto Moses, There is a NOISE OF WAR in the camp.” Moses responded by saying (vs 18) “It is not the voice of them that shout for mastery, neither is it the voice of them that cry for being overcome: but THE NOISE OF THEM THAT SING do I hear.”

Jumping ahead to the book of Amos we find backslidden Israel trying God’s patience as He tells them (Amos 5:23) ” Take thou away from me THE NOISE OF THY SONGS; for I will not hear the melody of thy viols.” Thus it is clear God has no more use for rap music than He does for rock music for He says in (Amos 6:5) they “chant to the sound of the viol.” Bear in mind the spiritual condition of the nation at the time as we see what they thought of street preachers; (Amos 5:10) “They hate him that rebuketh in the gate, and they abhor him that speaketh uprightly.” They were so dead set against being reproved they told Amos (Amos 7:12-13) ” O thou seer, go, flee thee away into the land of Judah, and there eat bread, and prophesy there: But prophesy not again any more at Bethel: for it is the king’s chapel, and it is the king’s court.”

Let us close with a happy ending by turning to the chapter that tells of Lucifer’s rebellion and also of his final demise: (Isa.14:9-11) “Hell from beneath is moved for thee to meet thee at thy coming: it stirreth up the dead for thee, even all the chief ones of the earth; it hath raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations. All they shall speak and say unto thee, Art thou also become weak as we? art thou become like unto us? Thy pomp is brought down to the grave, and THE NOISE OF THY VIOLS: the worm is spread under thee, and the worms cover thee.”

So in the end we see that God will keep Lucifer and his music he invented together forever as He sends the devil’s rock musick to Hell with him where it belongs. So for those Christians who’s musical taste buds have become acclimated to Satan’s style of music, well, you will just have to go back to praising God through the music He loves to be worshiped with and it is not NOISE!
