Modern Worship And Contemporary Christian Music
Posted: Tue Dec 08, 2009 9:23 am
For many years, I attended churches with contemporary worship services. I would dance in the aisles with the rest of them. But God gave me four dreams about how shameful this is to him.
The Lord showed me that most of the modern worship songs are pagan to him. The dancing done in worship services is lewd and shameful to him. People think they are dancing to God, but they are really dancing to the music that quite often has a rock beat to it. I'm not saying that all modern worship is bad. There are many worship songs that do glorify the Lord.
The so-called Christian rock concerts are even more lewd as well as appalling. The concerts are no different than secular concerts. The musicans normally have long hair or even mowhawks, tattooed, wearing revealing clothing, and shamefully dancing around on stage. There is normally strobe lights and smoke cannons.The kids attending the concerts are into body bashing each other as well as the stage. They grab at the feet of their gods. Does this bring honor to the Lord Jesus Christ?
People are also lifting up unholy hands to God in worship.They are stained with the many sinful bondages in their lives. People are committing adultry, fornication, lying, using profanity ect. The Bible says to lift up holy hands unto the Lord.
God is the "Ancient Of Days", he changes not with time. As our culture becomes more wicked, God's standards remain the same.The book of Revelation says this about the materialistic church of Laodicea.
NKJV REV 3:14 " And to the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write,' These things says the Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God:
15 "I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. 16 "So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth.
17 "Because you say,'I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing'-- and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked --
18 "I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed,[that] the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see.
True worship is defined as prostrating yourself (face to the ground) before the Lord. God is holy and worthy of our respect and reverence. Praise songs should also show respect and honor for the Most High. For he is God Almighty, maker of Heaven and Earth.
