My concern is the church world turning to the world trying to win the world. Like what they term as Christian rock or head banging Christian rock. When I was in the world my main music was rock and roll. When the Lord saved me, he put a new heart within me and that new heart left that behind. Just because you change the words to Christian does not make the beat or the feel of that type of music different. My heart feels grieve that the church world is embracing this to try to win the young people. What people do not understand is that God has been saving the lost for a long time. He has always been able to reach the young in each generation. Why do people think that they can improve on what God has already perfected.
We as a body of Christ will humble ourselves and pray and fast and hold up a standard that God has put into place. Then he will anoint his body to be a witness to all that they come into contact with. Thur their lives and his word he will convict their hearts and by his anointing every yoke will be broke and they will be set at liberty in Jesus. They will see realness in the body of Christ Jesus and want what we have as a child of God. Showing them true love by speaking truth to them instead of taking the very thing that as them in bondage and dress it up and try to bring them into another kind of bondage. Only the realness and truth of Jesus Christ will set them free.
It seems as if many are taking a road that will not take them anywhere but to greater bondage. I know that some will have a different view on this. Jesus told us that when the Spirit of Truth has come he would lead and guide us into all truth. The Holy Spirit in me feels grieve by this type of music.

See the thread 'Are Drums evil?' on this board for a pretty deep look into the satanic influance of drums and popular music. Also some good stuff on 'Christian' rock @ home.earthlink.net/~spiritoftruthministries/id60.htmlYou said "My concern is the church world turning to the world trying to win the world. " This is correct, but we must realize that what the world 'sees' as the church is Satan's counterfeit religious system- NOT the CHURCH! 'Church', meaning 'called out ones' cannot be applied to people who hold to the traditions of men over the WORD of YHWH. It cannot be applied to people who believe in 'another Jesus'. Praise the LORD for you- thank you for the post!

I agree with you on your point and well taken but there are some babes in Christ that are pulled in things such as this. It is so important for a child of God to get under good leadership that will help show them Thur the word of God. That way they are building on a solid foundation and these things that the devil will try to throw at them will not effect them. God bless you all!

Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life. 1 Timothy 6:19
Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. Matthew 7:25, 26
He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock. Luke 6:48
And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ. 1 Cor 10:4
And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, [even to them] which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed. 1 Peter 2:8
For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 1 Cor 3:11

Very well said Watchman that is the true Christian ROCK, which is Jesus Christ and he is the only foundation we need to be built on.
Keep up the good work. God bless you!

Yes, welcome sister Brenda! I look forward to being able to fellowship with you!
It is sad to see someone who seems to desire to know the truth but yet they cant, they dont have ears to hear. They have a form of godliness but deny the power therin, they are deceived. So many people desire to be worldly and fit in, so they trade in truth for worldly lusts. Just walk outside and your bound to see several in a few short minutes. Worldly lusts always look good to the flesh and unfortunatly so many people go by what their flesh wants, rock music is good example...it appeals to the flesh.
We must continue to fight a good fight, stand strong in the faith so that we are not deceived as well, we must put on our armour so that we can stand against the darts of devils. Deception is everywhere we must watch, put our faith in YHWH.
Nice to have met you!
A sister in Yeshua, Victoria

Great to hear from you, Sister Victoria! Exellent words!
There is no way to 'make' people come to the truth- the Truth comes to them and they receive or reject. This is the generation in which Satan will 'come in like a flood'. Can you hear the roar?!
Anything not of faith is sin!
...for whatsoever [is] not of faith is sin. Romans 14:23
Anything of this world is against the Most High God!
...know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. James 4:4
TAKE HEED!

A Trumpet Sounding[Brenda]
I want to say thank you to all of you for your hardy welcome in the love of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. [ Yeshua ] He is so worthy to be praise and it is such a honor to have his glorious word that he en crafts into our hearts. It is this word that keeps us and causes us to stand firmly planted in His truths. Ps. 55:22 says: Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved. My prayer is that we as God's people will come to know Him, in all His glory. As we grow in this daily walk with him and become fully Armour up in the word of God as Eph. chapter six talks about. We as His Children will be spiritually tuned into the voice of God and a stranger we will not follow. Then we will not be pulled into the music that dishonor Him. Such as Christian rock. God bless.
