Stever: The god in your own mind is so small. My God is so much bigger. God works everything (read EVERYTHING for good for those that love Him. Of the four things you mentioned, only the first applies. Music is in the temple. Whether you want to label it "Rock and Roll", of the Devil, etc., is your choice and between you and your god. My God loves music, IS music, and inspires me through music that PRAISES Him and glorifies Him instead of robbing Him of glory as you suggest. Most I know in church worship do not play for personal gain, but if God has given someone the talent to make a living being a professional musician, I say that glorifies God. Music hindering worship? You are so...so...wrong. But, brother, I'll lift you up in prayer that you may see some day soon how big our God truly is. He does not judge the external, but the heart. And frankly, you have a very undiscerning heart. You pass judgment on brothers and have no idea what you are talking about. As usual, since you cite so much Scripture you can't help revealing some of God's truth. I think you are just misapplying some of it. I'm, as usual, just taking exception to some of your broader comments. Don't be so heavenly minded that you can't be of earthly good to our Lord. --Ziobuck, an ambassador for Christ.
