Re: Re: Re: GodMen

It is my hope and prayer that God will reveal to many in our day the need to drive out the 'music changers' from the church. Rock and Roll has had a devastating moral influence in our society. And yet somehow, there have been many ungodly men in these last days who have crept into the church and over time have executed an agenda to change the worship of a Holy God into Rock and Roll experience.
The similarities between the money changers in Jesus day and the music changers in our day are significant.
1) Both operate in the house of God
2) Both Rob God of His Glory
3) Both function for personal gain
4) Both hinder the true worship of a Holy God
God desires us to worship Him in spirit and truth. That means being filled with the spirit and being filled with the truth in all meekness and holiness, receiving with meekness the engrafted word which is able to save your soul.
The idea that God gave us rock and roll is lie from the devil. Rock and Roll is most certainly a gift that we got from the world. Listening to rock and roll will help us to be friends with the world. Notice how many contemporary Christians today think and dress like the world, and really behave no differently from those that do not claim to be Christian.
The bottom line is this: 1 John 2:15-17
15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
Listening to rock and roll is like committing spiritual adultery, because it causes our spirits to give attention to the sound that is dominant in the world, and turns it away from worshipping God in Spirit and truth.
James 4:4 Compares adultery with friendship with the world.
4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, 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.
Christians have the same problem that Israel had, and that is being mingled among the heathen and learning their works.
Psalm 106:34-37
34 They did not destroy the nations, concerning whom the LORD commanded them: 35 But were mingled among the heathen, and learned their works. 36 And they served their idols: which were a snare unto them. 37 Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto devils,
If Jesus drove out the money changers from the temple with anger and a whip, what is going to do to the music changers in the house of God today?
