We who preach the gospel must not think of ourselves as public relations agents sent to establish good will between Christ and the world. We must not imagine ourselves commissioned to make Christ acceptable to big business, the press, the world of sports or modern education. We are not diplomats but prophets, and our message is not a compromise but an ultimatum. A.W. Tozer
Therefore let God-inspired Scripture decide between us; and on whichever side be found doctrines in harmony with the word of God, in favor of that side will be cast the vote of truth. --Basil of Caesarea
Once you learn to discern, there's no going back. You will begin to spot the lie everywhere it appears.

I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has strengthened me, because He considered me faithful, putting me into service. 1 Timothy 1:12

Fake Worship Bands

How I long for singing the great hymns of the faith! (with the caveat that most hymnals I have seen contain some clunkers--just because it's OLD doesn't mean that it is good). The modern tendency of repetitive, emotive 'worship' music is so obviously influenced by music seen in occultism throughout the world -- designed not to make you think and meditate upon the Word of God, but instead to let your mind go and open yourself to the 'spirit' to enter in. In my area there is not a single church I have visited that fully grasps the importance of sound doctrine within the hymns we sing. Not unrelated, there is a similar dearth of sound, line-upon-line teaching of the Scriptures as well. The 'worship team' takes precedence with any teaching being secondary in the order of service.
