“”Have you seen what is popular on I Tunes? All of the soul-destroying trash from the sixties and seventies is now regarded as quant, and mainstream music. The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Styx, indeed ll of the drug promoting, occult based “rock and Roll” that churches once warned about and exposed is now as popular as ever thanks to the new technology.”

I’m sorry you don’t like good rock and roll music, pastor bill. But hey no one is perfect as we are all sinful people. In our church our pastor and all of us that lead worship love the kind of music you revile. Our church is a combination of a conservative gospel driven message with contemporary praise music. We are a Presbyterian PCA church and our message is as conservative as it gets. We are growing like crazy - about 20% per year - but do not compromise on the gospel message. But we do like contemporary music. When I read your “statement of faith” at your church’s web site it appears to mirror what we believe. However when it comes to music I vehemently reject your statement above. :-)

I have been to some of the Churches with the modern music that i think he is talking about, i don,t know what it was called but it amounted to kids trying to be musicians and

were not good enough to make any money professionally so went to the Church with their so called Jesus songs and you would be supprised of the donations they got just because they were introduced as Christians.

At that time you could go to an occult movie and hear the same thing with different words much cheaper than a donation.

I like some of the old rock and roll, but i haven,t liked hard rock since i quit working in the mines.???

I quit Church at that time because it became nothing but a popularity contest.

Thanks for the tone brother, and for the encouraging words. Really I didn’t mean to write an article about music, but about the way technology makes it possible for “the imaginations of men’s hearts to be continually evil”, as in the days of Noah. I hop you are enjoying the series my friend.
