EPHESIANS 5:19 “christian rock” the WORSHIP OF WORSHIP

The serpentine “spirit” behind christian rock, christian rap, and CCM has slithered into the house of the living God disguised as contemporary worship.  God’s house; the ground and pillar of the truth; is being polluted by the devil’s music!  Contemporary worship is not the worship of Jesus Christ, rather it is little more than vain repetition of shallow lyrics, accompanied by a jungle beat.  More time and effort is given to the mu-sick than to rightly dividing the word of God and preaching it.

Questions.  Does today’s contemporary church look and sound like the church of the Lord Jesus Christ that is pure, spotless, separated from the world, and overcomes the world?  Is this the church of the living God–where such horrible musical blasphemy is welcomed, as long as its wrapped in the sheep’s clothing of religion?  Should God’s house be a place where devils can express themselves through the medium of rock, rap, and CCM?  Guardian angels must recoil in utter shock as they observe what God’s people promote or tolerate in the name of worship.  What kind of Christian would tolerate and applaud music that makes the holy angels blush; they say they are Christ’s but their gospel is another gospel and their Jesus is another Jesus.

The two preceding paragraphs have been a test for you.  If the above statements and questions angered you or make you feel uneasy, you are on the wrong side of the rock, rap, and contemporary worship issue.  True saints of God who have been born again will say ” The LORD hath opened mine ear, and I was not rebellious, neither turned away my back”. (Is. 50:5)  To the  still-borns  those who were spiritually aborted the prophet says, ” …their ear is uncircumcised, and they cannot hearken: behold, the word of the LORD is unto them a reproach: they have no delight in it…some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling. (Jer. 6:10 1Tim. 1:6)

Hundreds of thousands who profess Jesus Christ are turning from the word of the living God to feed on ashes.  While attempting to address the dangers of rock music among Christians at rock concerts I have been mocked and attacked with verbal violence and even threatened with physical violence by promoters, c-rock fans and yes, even an American Baptist Church in Barboursville, WV physically threatened us when we shared the truth about christian rock blasphemy.

Jesus warned we will know them by their fruit!  Does christian rock, rap and CCM used in contemporary worship services produce good fruit?  Does it produce a broken and contrite heart, a hunger and thirst for righteousness, or conviction of sin?  Think about these questions and be honest with yourself and with Jesus.  The Bible teaches in Genesis 1:12 that fruit would have the seed within itself, after his kind.  Rock, rap, and all gutter music is the fruit of wickedness and therefore can only bear fruit like unto itself.  How in the name of all that is holy can we plant the seeds of rock, rap, and gutter mu-sick in the church and expect God to accept it, let alone bless it?

Let’s take a look at the seed and fruit of rock, rap, and all gutter mu-sick, thus we will see where c-rock, c-rap, and contemporary music have their beginning and their end.

The Beetles in the 60’s exalted themselves above all that was called God, and mocked the Lord Jesus Christ, your Saviour.  Religious music festivals attended by “Christian” youth are modeled after the New York Woodstock festival.  The rebellious at Woodstock were high on rock music and drugs for days, thus spawning a generation that went forth sowing seeds of godlessness.  From it beginning rock has produced nothing but wicked fruit, therefore rock in any form has no place in God’s house.  Rap is nothing more than filthy communication and gutter language set to a jungle beat and cadence.  Rap has produce a new generation of rebellious youth.  Rappers in the church and out cannot perform their blasphemy with out body gestures that resemble a devil possessed heathen.  The dance moves of rappers appear as though they choreographed by Satan himself.  The ecumenical serpentine spirit has convinced many pastors to invite these God mocking heathens into their worship service, and then blame God the Holy Ghost for their decision.  BE CAREFUL PASTOR, NEXT TIME GOD MAY NOT FORGIVE YOU!!!

Many claim a move of the Holy Ghost in the contemporary worship services.  Oh Pleeease!  Allow me to redirect your ecclesiastical fleshly mind concerning the matter.  This generation of “Christians” hold the word of God in contempt, and have become bored with “speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord” (Eph. 5:19).  But instead rockers and rappers “rebelled, and vexed his holy Spirit:  he was turned to be their enemy, and he fought against them” (Is. 63:10).  So-called “christian rock, rap, and CCM are devilish in origin and character and are used solely by those who serve another Christ – a false Christ.  Those who worship Jesus Christ the Saviour revealed in the King James Bible (the AV1611) will forsake this musical blasphemy and leave this abomination in God’s house to the backsliders and reprobates.

Travesty of travesties, we have an entire generation being deceived by the musical prophets.  People looking for the truth of the gospel, come to a church supposing it to be the ground and pillar of the truth in Jesus Christ, only to find foolish pastors who promote this blasphemous  worship and a watered down gospel.

Contemporary/contemptible pastors preach a feel good message and seldom if ever make a reference to the Bible, sin, or the judgement of God because they fear the people and the loss of filth lucre.  Meanwhile a feel good spirit envelops the service and sinners have a false religious experience, not realizing they are moved by pure emotion and mu-sick.  Continuing on these still-born never come to knowledge of the truth and are spiritually aborted forever.  Sadly at the White Throne Judgement they will  be surprised to see their pastor beside them as they hear Jesus say “depart from me, I never knew you”.  All of this a result of mu-sick idolatry.

Do not be deceived by the large numbers that contemporary worship produces; Jesus warned that the path to destruction was wide and full.  Jesus Christ judges a work or ministry by what sort it is, not what size it is.

STILL NOT CONVINCED?  Take this challenge.  Spend two hours in your prayer closet.  Ask Jesus to open your ears and heart.  Ask the Lord for the truth in the above listed matters.  Ask Jesus if I am right or wrong.  After prayer spend another hour in the Holy Bible (AV1611).  Then while you are MIND-FULL  of the Holy Ghost turn on your rock and rap and CCM.  You will know immediately that rock and rap and CCM belong in the gutters where it came from!  You will hear a voice behind you saying, ” This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand and when ye turn to the left” (Is. 30:21).
