Testing Music In The Church
by Sandy Simpson This DVD is a message based on these articles: Testing Music In The Church, Testing Music In The Church-Part 2, and Worship Song Ratings.
Too many churches today are allowing music to be used in their services that is not glorifying to the Lord and can actually be a hindrance to the teaching of sound doctrine. Pastors and leaders should be using their leadership role to test what is being played and sung in their churches. Though some are quick to test preaching and teaching from their pulpits, many ignore the music being used in the same services. This is a tragic mistake. Music is a powerful medium. It is something that effects deeply the body, mind and emotions. It is a proven fact that music often stays with a person far longer than what is taught or preached. Songs roam around in our heads, especially if the melody appeals to us. What is often overlooked is the serious impression music makes on people, and the teaching they are getting over and over again as they allow the song to repeat in their minds and on their lips. Music teaches things much more subtly yet sometimes far more effectively. That's why the lyrical content of music in the church, as well as its effect on the spiritual lives of those who perform and listen, should be vigorously examined by the leaders of the church. This is a 2-DVD set.

by Berit Kjos - 2000 (revised in 2011)
With church and education leaders paving the way, that "attitude of acceptance" is fast becoming the norm both in churches and communities. To the general public, politically correct spirituality and world government seem normal and necessary. Even in churches uniformity based on compromise has become more acceptable than Biblical unity based on the cross. Those who resist the new ideology are painted as enemies to peace and progress.

The Gospel of Barack Hussein Obama According to Mark
|
by Mark F. Bozzuti-Jones Reviewed by Crosswise
Blasphemy against the Christian God while desecrating Sacred Scripture. In a word: blasphemy. Not only does the author blaspheme/revile/malign/profane sacred Scripture (cf. Titus 2:5), as evidenced by the title, he also equates a mere man - in this case Barack Obama - to Jesus Christ, the second Person of the Christian Holy Trinity:
In the year 1961...Barack Hussein Obama was born...The Anointed One was incarnated into this world on August 4, 1961, praises be upon him [p 2; CAPS in original, other emphasis added].

An example of reaching the gentiles in Acts 17. He showed the philosophers they were wrong from logic, their own history and the Bible and explained to them what is right. He was brought to Mars Hill where the finest philosophers and seekers congregated. He used what the Athenians did not know, an altar to an unknown god to make known to them what he knew (Acts 17). V.23 "the One whom you worship without knowing, Him I proclaim to you." Paul was not complimenting their religious worship as they were idolaters. In v.30 Paul did not mock them but gave it to them straight "Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent." These religious men of prestige were offended as he told them they would be judged by a man who came back to life (Acts 17:31-33).

Jesus-denial, Bible denial and other dangerous 'denialisms' of global anti-Semitism |
by Daniel Jonah Goldhagen Fox News, 10/27/13
Holocaust denial is widely known and widely understood to be a form of anti-Semitism and a tool to delegitimize Israel. Anti-Semites do not want Jews to be recognized as victims because sympathy for Jews impedes spreading hatred of them. Anti-Semites also see the Holocaust as legitimizing the notion that Jews, like other peoples, need their own country with the political and military means to defend themselves. All right thinking people condemn Holocaust denial, which is not just a fringe belief but is extremely widespread especially in the Middle East, no less than they would condemn a movement that denied that American slavery existed - should anything so nutty ever come to be. Yet Holocaust denial is but one of the many kinds of widespread anti-Semitic denialisms that exist and powerfully grip peoples especially in the Middle East, but also in Europe, and even in the United States.
