I have mentioned about the people who were coming to the contemporary service now I would like your criticism of the worldliness in what you read?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CCM music is worldly. The Holy Spirit who saves and leads people are not. That is wonderful about your church, but it does not mean that CCM music is not worldly, it just shows that the Holy Spirit is still convicting many to repentance. CCM music however is worldly, and it's roots are worldly. This might eventually damage many, or many might have false conversions that you have never thought of or that you know of. What are you showing the world? That this is okay to look like, sound like, act like the world? Are people being convicted of their sins and the sins of the world? Or are they rather being taught the opposite? Church growth and looking at numbers does not mean a thing. It is how many are showing forth obediance to the word of God after salvation. New creatures in Christ, leaving behind the old man, and beginning the new, including how we live, think, behave, look, which also affects our witness to the world. I have found the opposite of what you have testified. I find that many, even in this very country are hardened in heart to the gospel of Jesus Christ. Many know about him, but many continue to reject him and outright blasphemy him. I fear many churches today are luring in the world, with the means of the world, and true conversions are not happening as a result.
And to you Trotter, those scriptures are very relevent to this issue. Please meditate upon them, and the Lord will show you.
love in Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour,
