It would take a lot of discipline to completely turn a deaf ear to secular music, as this blog states, “on the radio, on T.V., at the mall, in the grocery store, during football games, at the park, in movies, etc.” While dragging secular music into church might not be the bestest of ideas, bringing a God-minded perspective to secular music “in the world” can provide fresh insights and a connection to the Lord.

Interesting. Hypothetical if the sermon was on the unforgiven’s fate after time on earth had concluded, would the song ‘hell awaits’ by Slayer be appropriate? (yeah that might be an extreme example)

Yeah, I find music to be very individually taste perceived. Personally, I love me some EDM (techno) and find the modern worship music a bit ‘cotton candy’ & ‘whiney’ but my ole lady loves Hillsong and the likes. To each their own.

Anyway, very interesting concept and quite ballsy to throw it out there in the face of religious tradition. But then again, anything that breaks up the spi’RITUAL’ and wakes peeps up…

Wow!! Some other women who really get me! Men just don’t get it. All I hear is that we need to submit to men..but what about you guys huh???You should love your wives like Crist!! Do any of you really even know what that means??? I don’t think so! I think you all are too caught up in the grandiose idea that you are kings. If you study the bible, Jesus thought nothing about himself and his needs. He let the Father guide him in everything, and constantly and relentlessly served people. SERVED people!! That is your example. You think you have been given some place of honor above your wife, like you sit on a throne while she is at your feet. When in reality, you have been given a position of responsibility to serve and love as Jesus did. How do men get being a dictator out of that?? Also, I am so tired of men giving up their responsibility to provide for their families as well. They want their wives to do all the so called “women’s work” and do out and provide an income for them as well, while they get to benefit. How does a woman get to benefit from this partnership called marriage? Men get a maid, built in sex partner, cook, babysitter, errand runner, grocery getter, dry cleaner, unpaid hired hand for all other odds and ends etc. What sense would that make to any man out there if the shoe was on the other foot? OHH and by the way, if you want respect, you are the leader and want to take and wear that title so proudly..then own it!! Be a man and lead your family by example. Just like any other captain of his ship. A captain does not wait to be lead by the crew, he sets the standard and will go down with his ship, not blame and make excuses why things are not his fault! So men, when things are not great in your home it is up to you to get things straight. As men you need to work hard to financially provide for your family and stop giving that to your wives too, that is your God given right to do! As you leaders (men) start to take their rightful places as God designed, your wives will respect you and naturally will want to submit themselves to you out of love. Think about that.

Comment on YOU ASKED FOR IT (Question 2 - Can Christians be “liberal?”) by josh

josh — Fri, 05 Aug 2011 02:54:20 +0000

agreed. but ima take it one step further. conservatism and christianity are so far apart i often wonder how the GOP got in so good with the church. excepting their stances on gay marriage and abortion , almost everything todays conservatism stands for is in full opposition to what jesus taught.

you cant very well say you love jesus , then 5 minutes later complain that some of your tax dollars go to help the poor. it just doesnt work. one may say that conservatives give more privately than liberals do……. not sure if thats true or not……but even if it is……so what. the fact is you are still complaining that some of your tax dollars go to help poor people , and this is an attitude jesus would neither have had nor condoned. you simply cannot defend that position biblically.

or how bout the conservative stance on illegal immigration.? how can you say i love jesus but you know we really gotta send those illegals back home? if you are more concerned whether the tan skinned man in the factory working next to you has proper documents than you are with whether or not he can feed his family , youre not a christian at all! i could go on and on but this isnt my blog so ill respect this mans blog enough not to write too long a comment. but fact is most conservative positions cannot be defended biblically

Thing here is, music is music, without words a song has no one meaning, as it will be interpreted by everybody differently, and we could all write our own words to a piece of music, making the song have a clear meaning.

So in church, the words of a song give it its “worldly” or “Godly” meaning.

If you know your hymns history a bit you will know MANY of them are written from old pub songs, because people knew the tunes. In those times people went to church regardless of how they lived their daily lives. Ive also seen letters from church members complaining about these blasphemous songs, songs like, “what a friend we have in Jesus” and “redeemed” etc because of the music.

If your playing secular songs, being sung with lyrics in church then i think that is wrong. Those artists do not write their songs for church, or with Christianity in mind. Nor are any of them Christians that go to church every sunday. As a worship leader you need to be careful of how you lead your team. And your church pastor is also doubly accountable for what goes on in your church. And you playing this kind of music is causing him to also be accountable.

At the end of the day you have to look at the lyrical content of the songs, and secondly if the songs genre of music is fitting for your people. Not playing metal in a church with older people, or singing old hymns with mostly youth.

Oh, what makes me able to be so forthcoming like this? I’m a worship leader in a church, im actually the ministry leader, and have been for the past year. I have been involved in this ministry for 7 years in the same church. Its a church many of you have possibly heard of, And my names not Thomas just to protect me.
