Album Art Contemporary Gospel Jesus the Mention of Your Name

past David J. Stewart

�...Yea, and all that volition live godly in Christ Jesus shall endure persecution.� �2nd Timothy three:12

       All of the following �Christian Music� performers (like DC talk and other pseudo-Christian entertainers) have at 1 time been recognized every bit �pinnacle� Christian music entertainers. Unfortunately, to be popular with the world is an extremely bad thing in God's optics. The Bible proclaims in James 4:4 that to be a friend of the world is to be the ENEMY of God. The word �friend� in James 4:iv means �to aid, or aid.� We are living in a generation of worldly believers who are profitable Satan by creating a bridge between Christianity and the Godless globe through heathen music.

The Rock Bottom List...

Working with the Devil

Many CCM artists who have sold millions of records, winning the minds and hearts of tens-of-millions of people, are at present coming out of the cupboard that they are homosexual; including, Tonex, Ray Boltz, Marsha Stevens, Jennifer Knapp, and others.

The sad truth is that about of today's Contemporary Christian Music (CCM) is straight out of Hell. In fact, there is nil �Christian� nearly much of their music. It's the same as the skillful cop/bad cop theory. If the separated Christian singers hobnob with the unseparated worldly �Christian� singers, and so it makes one question the legitimacy of the entire Christian music industry.

The Oak Ridge Boys started out singing decent Gospel songs. As fourth dimension progressed, they started singing all kinds of worldly garbage. The bottom line is that if anyone wants to make it in the Christian music industry, they're going to accept work with the Devil'south crowd. You lot tin can't work in the Devil's kitchen without getting burned. God Will approximate those worldly believers (if they're believers at all) who hobnob with the Devil'southward oversupply and eat at the Devil'south table.

Equally an example: The group Danzig'south logo is a picture of a demon strangling the Lord Jesus Christ while claret is coming out of Jesus' jutting eyes! Inside Danzig'southward anthology, Lucifuge, Glenn Danzig is wearing the cross of Jesus Christ � upside downwardly � with a demon'south head in the eye of the cantankerous. Boldly written at the top is part of John 8:44, �Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will practise.� Glenn Danzig is a difficult-core Satanist. To show his utter hatred for Jesus Christ, one of his songs is titled �Snakes of Christ.� Now exercise you desire to hear the unbelievable truth? Not only did Johnny Cash record a song on American label produced past Rick Rubin � but on the album he sings a song written by Satanist Glenn Danzig! The name of the song? ... a Satanists favorite number... THIRTEEN!

Contemporary Christian Music's Tolerance for Wickedness and False Cults

I have read several dozen interviews of then-called �Christian� recording artists and have yet to hear one of them take a stand up against sin. I'm not talking well-nigh the vague mention of the word �sin.�  Rather, I'm talking about exposing sin by name. I'm talking about exposing the false religions which are plaguing America, similar Roman Catholicism... the BIGGEST cult in the globe! Over one BILLION Catholics commit idolatry every time they bow to the �Blest Virgin Mary.� Catholics commit idolatry when they pray through Mary, when they adore Mary, when  they worship Mary, and when they trust upon Mary.The truth is that the Discussion of God NEVER leads u.s. in any way to recognize Mary any. Catholics obsess themselves with Mary worship.

Though Catholics Claim they don't worship Mary, wait up the definition of the give-and-take �worship� (worship: a feeling of profound honey and admiration). Don't tell me that Catholics don't worship Mary! In 1 Rosary prayer alone, a Catholic volition speak 53 �Hail Marys.� The Bible proclaims that Only Jesus Christ is to be worshipped (Philippians 2:10). Why aren't America's �Christian� entertainers using their music to assist God instead of the Devil? Virtually of their songs are nothing more than watered-downwardly jibber-jabber, defective any existent substance (equally compared to the old doctrinally rich hymns of the organized religion).

The fact of the affair is that virtually all of today'south �Christian� entertainers are as selfish, self-righteous, and self-centered as tin be. All they're thinking most is making a buck and having fun, while the globe continues to plunge into the completeness of darkness. It'southward merely some other clear indicator of the apostasy of our time. God's children should stand up confronting the wickedness of the world, not partakers of information technology.

Catholicism is the world's biggest demonic cult. Even the Catholic Douay Bible condemns Catholics for bowing to idols (Exodus 20:4-5), calling their priests �Father� (Matthew 23:9), abstaining from meats on Fridays (1st Timothy 4:three), forbidding to Marry (1st Timothy 4:iii), didactics that eternal life is possible by manner of reciting the Rosary to Mary (run into Our Lady of Fatima hoax), and and then many other doctrines of devils fabricated past the Vatican to deceive people. I am compelled as a genuine born-again believer to expose the Satanic Catholic faith, considering it is leading the masses into eternal Hell, fire and damnation.

The Bible obviously condemns going to about to establish ane'due south Ain righteousness (Romans ten:three-4). We cannot be saved by our ain goodness, because nosotros have none (Isaiah 64:6; Romans 3:10,19-23). We need the righteousness of Jesus Christ, Who died, was buried, and rose again, giving His precious claret for our sins (1st Peter one:eighteen-19; Hebrews 9:12). Titus iii:5, �Not past works of righteousness which we have done, only according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost.�

If yous search the cyberspace using the names of false cults and your favorite religious singer, chances are good that you lot'll find blogs and webpages of cult members praising your favorite musical celebrity. The reason is considering CCM is and then vague, doctrinally defective and wishy-washy, that it doesn't offend anyone. This is deliberate, so they tin sell more albums. The name of the game in the music business organisation (secular and religious akin) is money, coin, coin. Michael W. Smith is praised by Catholic everywhere, and evangelical Christians praise him every bit; but Smith is a worldly pagan.

It is sinful for singers to attempt to remain neutral on all issues, challenge merely to be singing. That is a lame cop-out! Revelation 3:15-sixteen teaches that God vomits lukewarm believers out of His mouth. God wants u.s.a. either hot or cold, in or out, on or off. God is not pleased with fence-straddlers who endeavor to play both sides of the contend, trying to please God while befriending the wicked. It is incommunicable! The Bible patently teaches that those who befriend the world are God's enemies (James four:4).

But y'all ask, �Wasn't Jesus was a friend of sinners?� It was unsaved Jews who said that, not Jesus (Luke vii:34). Jesus said that His friends are those who obey His Word (John 15:14). Jesus reached out to sinners with the Gospel, which is certainly being a Friend; merely He did not support their sinful agendas, like �gay rights� and ballgame's �pro choice.� The wicked today are continually trying to justify their sins past saying that Jesus was a friend of sinners, claiming that Jesus would have embraced the agendas of the wicked and remained tranquility well-nigh evil. That is not THE TRUTH! Jesus became aroused that thieves had taken over God's house to make coin. Hebrews 1:nine says that Jesus HATED iniquity .

Teenagers are Greatly Influenced past Music

America has been DESENSITIZED towards sin. This is largely the upshot of hellivision, but it's besides a result of the music that has influenced America's youth. Have for example, Katy Perry, who went from Gospel singer to a lewd, lesbian-lusting, loser. Katy Perry'southward lyrics invite males to put their easily in her peel tight pants. Her album, TEENAGE DREAM smells similar cotton-candy when opened; just it ought to have maggots itch out and odor like sewage because it is spiritual rot! Perry started out singing Gospel music; but now is a raunchy she-devil. Woe unto America!

Every generation of young people grow upward to a certain musical influence that sticks with them for the residuum of their life. Whereas modern rock bands would exist offensive to older folks, they nevertheless have a soft identify in their heart for entertainers such as Elvis and Frank Sinatra (both godless heathen reprobates). My point is that the Devil has a way of creeping into anybody's heart. Everyone who watches TV and listens to radio... I don't care who... has been exposed to a certain amount of demonic influence. Satan is a spirit and works through spiritual forces to corrupt us. Music is spiritual (whether godly or demonic). At that place's no music any more than dangerous to teenagers today than the whorish and feminist Country music influence of Taylor Swift.

Goggle box is too spiritual (whether godly or demonic). To the aforementioned degree that people have been influenced by those demonic spiritual influences; to that same degree they will be desensitized toward sin and wickedness. On the other hand, the Word of God influences u.s. for righteousness (which sensitizes u.s. concerning the awfulness of sin). We become more sensitive and enlightened. As we read the Bible, we realize just how sinful we are. The Campaigner Paul said in Romans 7:xiii that the Word of God makes our sin �exceedingly sinful.� Worldly TV and music exercise the exact reverse, by diminishing the sinfulness of sin. Is it whatsoever wonder that Amy Grant makes a joke of illegal drugs...

�Why isolate yourself? Your life isolates you plenty. I�g isolated when I walk into a room and somebody says, She�s a Christian and NOBODY OFFERS ME A Joint and all the coke (cocaine) disappears. . .� (Bob Millard, Amy Grant, p. 169)

Few young people realize the spiritual dangers of worldly music. The music doesn't have to exist heavy metallic or rap to be destructive to your spiritual well-being. Whatever worldly music influences us to a degree (perhaps unnoticeable, but information technology DOES influence us). That is not to say that all non-religious music is wrong; but we must be careful of sinful agendas being pushed via music. The biggest danger today is the agendas being promoted by the entire music manufacture. CCM sinfully promotes ecumenical unity between Christians and unbelievers. Pop, Rock and Country all promote sensuality, divorce, selfishness, and feature lewd spoiled brats. The hidden agenda is to undermine wedlock by promoting promiscuity, fornication, divorce, and homosexual rights.

No one has God's permission to commit homosexuality. God doesn't make mistakes. No one is born �gay.� If people are created homosexual by God, then why tin't they sexually mate as do male and female? Why can't they conceive children? It is evil to blame God for the mentally-ill, spiritually demonic, vile sin of homosexuality. Become right with God America!

Sadly, well-nigh professed �Christian� young people today would laugh at what I am proverb. Why? Considering they are either worldly or accept never truly been born again by the soul-cleansing blood of Jesus Christ. We are bought with a price as believers, with the precious claret of Christ (Romans 12:1,2). God is a jealous God and hates Annihilation that draws us away from Him. Christian rock is of the Devil and NO believer should ever back up such wickedness by listening to it. Not merely Christian rock, but Any so-called Christian music that is sang or produced by worldly people. The Newsboys look like homosexuals. Third Day perverts the pregnant of being built-in-once more, espousing Catholic theology.

The New International Version (NIV) of the Bible is produced by the SAME parent company (Harper Collins) that publishes The Satanic Bible . Information technology'south true! Jesus said... how can something which is evil bring along that which is good? Information technology cannot! Matthew 7:15-20).

The Vile Homosexual Agenda!

The NIV is the homosexual's Bible of selection, because the NIV2011 will be gender inclusive. To prepare America'due south churches to receive this new perverted Bible, such films as PRAYERS FOR BOBBY are being produced to infiltrate churches with the immoral �gay rights� agenda. It is sad and tragic! To support gay rights is to spit on God'southward Word. You cannot exist God's friend and the sinful world'southward friend at the aforementioned time.

Many churches are embracing the homosexual agenda in the name of God'southward unconditional love; but it is sinful compromise, non Biblical honey. To try to equate God's unconditional love with immoral gay rights is the meridian of wickedness. Yes, God's unconditional love sent Jesus Christ into the world to save sinners (John 3:16); merely that in no way means that God supports homosexuals and their so-called �normal� lifestyle as longtime CCM vocalist and homosexual Ray Boltz claims. Romans ane:24-32 teaches that homosexuality is against nature, morally reprehensible and brings the judgment of God.

Marsha Stevens, one of America's top Gospel singers, is also a flaming homosexual lesbian married to another woman. Her ministry is called Balm (Built-in Again Lesbian Music). Isn't that icky? I don't condemn anyone, for nosotros are all guilty, hell-deserving sinners in God's eyes (James two:10; Romans 3:23; Ecclesiastes seven:xx). Albeit, Ephesians v:xi (and many other Scriptures) command us as believers to abnegate all works of darkness. Homosexuality is a work of darkness, a vile sin, punishable past death under the Mosaic police (Leviticus 20:thirteen). Sin is serious business to God. From Genesis to Revelation the Bible condemns sin. Jesus came to save us from our sins. The choice is ours alone to brand.

The Give-and-take of God clearly teaches that Christian believers should expose those who publicly parade their sins and attempt to teach children that God created Adam and Steve, instead of Adam and Eve...

�Who will rise upward for me against the evildoers? or who volition stand up upwardly for me confronting the workers of iniquity?� (Psalm 94:sixteen)

�And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, just rather reprove them� (Ephesians five:11)

�Them that sin rebuke before all, that others besides may fright� (1st Timothy v:20)

�This witness is truthful. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may exist sound in the religion� (Titus 1:13)

�But exhort one another daily, while it is called Today; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin� (Hebrews 3:xiii)

The next big trend in �Christian� music is gay music artists. Information technology is an abomination unto God Almighty! Homosexuality is a wicked sin! The homosexual community has been gearing upward for an unprecedented explosion of gay everything, and we are at present living in those times. It is happening! America hasn't seen annihilation yet. At nowadays, homosexual ministers are existence ordained into the ministry. Lesbians are being chosen to pastor churches. People are being given lucrative government jobs for no other reason than being homosexual. Do you call back this evil tendency will reverse in the apostate condition of America's churches? Never! Most pastors in America in the U.S. are now using the New International Version (NIV) that was translated by homosexuals!!!

EVERY Christian should be �homophobic�! I acknowledge information technology, I am agape of homosexuals! Statistics take PROVEN that gays are prone to pedophilia! Statistics have PROVEN that gays commit some of the most violent crimes! Homosexuals have more than contempt for Bible-believing Christians than any other group! Some of my worst enemies in the workplace accept been homosexuals. Some of my harshest ministry e-mails accept been from homosexuals. Y'all should read some of the detest mail I get from �gay� people. In that location's nil �gay� (happy) about them. It's sorry that the one time decent word (gay) has been hijacked past the Sodomite gang. In addition, they have tried to steal God's rainbow. The rainbow is a token of the Promise that God always keeps His promises. Interestingly, the same holy rainbow that homosexuals desecrate past using to stand for their wickedness volition one exist a testimony against them at judgment day, for God has PROMISED to judge their wickedness...

�Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in similar manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange mankind, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire...

How that they told you lot there should be mockers in the concluding time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts.  These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having non the Spirit.� (Jude 1:7,18,19)

�And too also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward some other; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their mistake which was meet.  And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural amore, implacable, unmerciful: Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not but do the same, simply have pleasure in them that do them.� (Romans 1:27-32)

Exercise you see why homosexuals hate the Word of God and then much? Romans i:25 reads...

"Who changed the truth of God into a lie..."

The homosexual community only published their own Bible, the New Oxford Annotated Bible, which removes all Bible verses condemning homosexuality.

Over again, if Any professed Christian recording creative person has annihilation any to do with homosexuals or lesbians...run abroad equally fast as you can.  If that offends you, so you're mad at God, not me.  I'1000 just giving you lot the truth as information technology appears in God's Discussion.  What America needs is a generation of INTOLERANT Christians who will Not tolerate the devil'due south filth and wickedness.  We can start by burning any music or videos produced past the list of phonies at the beginning of this article.  Make it your Bible!!!  The average believer has been inoculated from Christianity by all the "Christian" music and magazines that accept replaced their daily walk with God...reading the Give-and-take of God.

The World is God'southward Enemy

The world has no place in the New Attestation church.  This means that Relient K, Toby Mac, Avalon, Jeremy Camp, Dead Poetic, Demon Hunter, Newsboys, Whitecross, MxPx, 3rd Day, Passion, Delirious, Bride, The Almost, Disciple, Kutless, Inhale/Exhale, PFR, Emery, Robert Pierre, Chris Tomlin, Marsha Stevens, Further Seems Forever, Switchfoot, Soul P., New Life Worship, DC talk, Echoing Angels, Matt Redman, Katinas, Michael W. Smith, Lincoln Brewster, GRITS, Geoff Moore & The Distance, Yard Human foot Krutch, Steven Curtis Chapman, and Mercy Me HAVE NO BUSINESS BEING IN ANY NEW Attestation Church!  They are ALL friends of the world and; therefore, enemies of God.

"Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will exist a friend of the globe is the enemy of God." -James 4:4

Sinful Lifestyles

Amy Grant sports almost drinking beer, smoking pot, doing Coke, committing adultery. It's a stench in the nostrils of God Almighty. Listen to what Amy Grant has to say virtually premarital sex...

�It seems to me that PEOPLE WHO ARE MOST Adamantly Against PREMARITAL SEX Accept EXPERIENCED SOME KIND OF Hurting IN THEIR OWN LIVES. Like the people who say absolutely NO to stone-n-whorl. Chances are information technology has something to do with a past sadness.� (Amy Grant, interview, Ladies Domicile Journal, December 1985, p. 210).

What kind of pagan mentality is that? Amy Grant has serious spiritual bug if she is ok with premarital sexual practice and Rock music. The Word of God condemns the song of fools. Rock music is all about sex and rebellion. The Word of God condemns infidelity and divorce. I don't condemn Amy Grant, nor anyone else, for we are all sinners in God'south eyes; albeit, Amy Grant has sold tens-of-millions of albums and has a tremendous amount of influence of America'south youth. Grant has led untold millions of girls into apostasy, worldliness and sin. We're talking most a role model here. Someone needs to stand up upward and say, �No, yous are a bad role model Amy... because you disobey God, encourage fornication, dress like a whore, and brag about smoking a joint and drinking a beer.� Is this what teenagers ought to practise?

The purpose of my article is NOT to condemn anyone, but rather to warn Christian people about the evils of Contemporary Christian Music (CCM). Most of the music is heathen, most of the lyrics are heathen, and most of the singers are living heathen lifestyles (or are yoking together with other heathens to produce their music). It'south wickedness! God commands us to split up from the wicked world (Romans 12:1-ii). God never made Whatsoever exceptions to the rule.

Merely because you've got a take a chance to brand lots of money doesn't go far right in God's eyes to glorify sin. When Jennifer Lopez' husband demanded that she stay home and pull back from her career, she divorced him. I'd expect that kind of demonic beliefs from a heathen. Sadly, Sandi Patti and Amy Grant are no better... they both divorced their husbands. The entire music industry is no improve than Hollywood (HollyWEIRD).

It'southward All Almost the Money

The reason why contemporary Christian bands and performers dip their sails is but because information technology would be suicide for their future career. If yous want to play the game, then you take to follow the rules of the greedy people who run the Christian music manufacture. The FACT is that they're out to brand a cadet, plain and unproblematic. If you raise a flag for God, it would be career suicide. That's why not even ane CCM singer speaks out against the sin of homosexuality, nor the evils of abortion, nor do they preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ as every laic is commanded (Proverb 11:30; Romans x:15-17; Matthew 28:19-20; 2nd Corinthians v:11). CCM singers are praised by Catholics and backslidden Christians alike, because their music is so vague, wishy-washy and doctrinally deficient.

The Bible clearly warns us virtually the dangers of loving coin (1st Timothy 6:ten). Saying 28:21 declares, �To have respect of persons is non good: for for a slice of staff of life that human being will transgress.� MOST of the height �Christian� music entertainers today are afraid to speak the truth about sin. They sing a one-sided message most love, sunny skies, and Heaven; merely they should be warning people well-nigh the burning hell that awaits unbelievers who die in their sins (2d Thessalonians 1:8-9). Rather, they go out of their fashion to be �politically right� to avoid offending people.

I recently read that MercyMe has crossed over into secular music's top charts. Folks, something is VERY Incorrect with that kind of Christian testimony. Jesus said that the world would detest the states every bit information technology hated Him (John xv:18-19). Jesus said He came to bring a sword, not peace (Matthew ten:34). Jesus taught that every believer should bare his or her own cross (Matthew 10:38). The world hated Jesus so much that they killed him. I am hated by many for my preaching, and loved besides by those who love righteousness and the precious Lord Jesus Christ. Billy Sun was hated beyond America by the liquor manufacture because he FOUGHT against it. Booze is a curse upon America! In dissimilarity, listen to what your worldly hero Amy Grant has to say about the liquor...

�I'grand a singer, not a preacher, I'yard non looking to convert anybody� says Christian rock diva Amy Grant. (Los Angeles Times, 5/4/84, pg. ii-c). Grant goes on to demonstrate her spirituality by saying, �I'grand not going to say besides oft that I like a common cold beer while watching a football game. That might carp some of my fans.� (Greensville News, 5/four/94)

Sadly, Amy Grant is influencing more than people than Baton Sunday ever did, and she's leading them down the Devil'south path to destruction. We are living in a wicked generation of worldly churchgoers who are assisting Satan by creating a bridge between Christianity and the Godless globe through music. That bridge is chosen ecumenicalism. Heed friend, ANY Span betwixt Christianity and the world is of the Devil and can Just lead to sinful compromise.

There is no such thing as �Christian murder� or �Christian  fornication.� Likewise, in that location is no such animal as �Christian rock� or �Christian Hip Hop.� If you lot listen to Snoop Dog or Eminem, you can't tell the music autonomously from TobyMac's music (other than some of the lyrics). You Tin can'T put decent lyrics to devilish music and phone call it �Christian.� If y'all listen to Amy Grant or bi-sexual Olivia Newton John, you tin can't tell the divergence. It'south the music itself that is of the Devil. Katy Perry and Selena Gomez show this in their evil song, ROCK GOD . For whatever professed Christian vocalizer to sing decent words to a sensual and devilish beat is like passing out Gospel tracts in a strip articulation.

And of Amy Grant's lyrics, Billboard magazine and Face the Music both study that, "The only difference between Amy Grant's love songs and those of Olivia Newton-John is that oftentimes Grant'south pronouns come with capital letters."

To which Amy has been quoted saying, "I want to be at the same level as Billy Joel, the Doobie brothers" (Time magazine, New Lyrics for the Devil'south Music, 3/11/85, p. 60)

Amy Grant thinks smoking pot, drinking beer, and dressing immodestly are no big deal; but they are a very big deal for a role model to America's teenagers.

There is Zero �Christian� virtually Amy Grant. Her personal life is none of anyone's business; Miss Grant is a sinner similar everyone else and is entitled to be human and make mistakes; Simply when she publicly encourages her fans to potable booze, fornicate, and says she'due south not trying to win anyone to the Lord Jesus... then we need to speak up every bit Christians.

Amy Grant and Michael W. Smith are touring together in early 2011. They're all worldly and and so wishy-washy that Catholics and homosexuals embrace their music. The Bible commands everyone to forsake the sinful world...

�Love not the globe, neither the things that are in the world. If whatsoever man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.  For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the animalism of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.  And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever� (1st John 2:15-17).

The lesser line is that money is king in today's music industry. Many of today'south �Christian� stars have sold their souls to the Devil in exchange for fame and money. Only as Satan tempted Jesus by request Him to bow downward to him in Matthew 4:9, then does the CCM (Contemporary Christian Music) industry ask for it'southward servants to bow in allegiance. If you lot're not willing to be unequally yoked together with unbelievers, and so you won't make it in the CCM industry.

The executives of the manufacture don't care nigh your lifestyle or beliefs, just so long as y'all can produce something that people volition purchase. The so-called �Christian� music which immature people are listening to present is non bathed in prayer and concern for their souls, but by greed and want to corrupt their Christian walk. It'south all nearly filthy lucre, ill-gotten money.

We Should Divide Over Truth; Rather Than Unite By Error

The world is being led into a i-earth Luciferian religion of feelings and experiences, rather than truth and morality. When Pope John Paul Two died, the masses of the world worshipped him every bit some type of Christ. The Pope is burning in the fires and torments of Hell, evidenced by the false Gospel which he taught, saying that no faith is needed for conservancy.

Satan is working relentlessly to finish what God stopped at the Tower and urban center of Babel in Genesis xi:7-9. Satan cannot send the Antichrist into the world until the world is all in 1 accord, and the Church has been Raptured from the globe (2nd Thessalonians two:3). The Rapture is nearer than ever before, a doctrine taught in 1st Thessalonians 4:17. Everything today is about sinful agendas, political abuse, religious apostasy, and the moral breakdown of society. The New World Order is hither, which will eventually make fashion for the Antichrist.

Every CCM singer promotes ecumenical unity; Jesus said He came to SEPARATE united states...

�Call back not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came non to send peace, but a sword.  For I am come to fix a man at variance confronting his begetter, and the girl against her female parent, and the daughter in law against her mother-in-law.  And a man'south foes shall be they of his own household.  He that loveth male parent or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.  And he that taketh not his cantankerous, and followeth subsequently me, is not worthy of me� (Matthew 10:34-38).

What did Jesus hateful? Jesus only meant that when you live for God, the world will give you lot upward. Oftentimes information technology is our own families who will give u.s.a. upwards. When you pick up your cross to live for God, people will carelessness and persecute you (second Timothy 3:12). The world is filled with phonies like Amy Grant whose god is their own belly...

�Whose finish is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things� (Philippines 3:19).

Almost so-chosen �Christian� entertainers today are NOT living separated Christian lives. Instead, they are yoked together with this globe of darkness and the children of the Devil. Not to my surprise, Christianity Today endorses TobyMac's pathetic music as well. They besides endorse Harry Potter'due south witchcraft and mock God! TobyMac'due south music is nada more Eminem or Snoop Dog repackaged.

Where'south the Gospel?

I triple-dog dare yous to show me the Gospel on Amy Grants' website. Bear witness me how to be saved on Amy Grant'southward website.Show me how to exist saved, how to get to Sky on TobyMac'south or Amy Grant's website... you CANNOT. The same is true of Michael Due west. Smith. How can TobyMac. Michael West. Smith and Amy Grant claim to care about their fans and not fifty-fifty have the simple plan of salvation on their websites anywhere? TobyMac is a big phony! Amy Grant is a big phony! Michael W. Smith is a big phony! Millions of immature people are flocking to their websites without ever having the Gospel of Jesus Christ presented to them. Consequently, unsaved Catholics by the tens-of-millions have embraced these CCM apostates!

Where in TobyMac's, Michael Smith'southward or Amy Grant'due south MUSIC exercise they present a Clear explanation of the Gospel? Nowhere! For that thing, show me how to be born-once more on whatsoever Height Christian artist'south website. It's not surprisingly that Amy Grant is now one of the well-nigh pop icons in the heathen world of entertainment (and a disgrace in the optics of God). She may exist at the height downwardly here on earth, merely she'due south at rock bottom in Sky.

Listen to the sinful attitude of Amy Grant...

�If an audience feels I�ve walked away from God because I no longer talk about Him onstage, so that�s their loss� (Amy Grant, Ibid.).

�I�yard a vocaliser, non a preacher. I�Chiliad Not LOOKING TO CONVERT ANYBODY. I feel people come to hear my music, not to hear me talk� (Amy Grant, St. Petersburg Times, Florida, April 7, 1984, p. 4).

Professed Christian entertainers like Amy Grant have the twisted moral idea that only the preacher is supposed to obey God. She is and then incorrect. I triple-dog dare yous to show me ANYWHERE in the Bible when someone has a correct to be LESS holy than a preacher. Evidence me anywhere from the Bible where someone has a God-given right to slack off in their spiritual life because they're not in the ministry. The sharing of the Gospel with lost sinners is EVERY believers duty.

My big question for Amy is this... If you believe that there is a Hell called-for with fire and brimstone for lost sinners, and so why wouldn't you lot want to warn them? Why wouldn't all of the Christian entertainers want to warn them? Who started the devilish thought that a Christian entertainer is exempt from sharing the Gospel?... while the world is dying and going to Hell. It is EVERY believers duty to go soulwinning!!! What a cop-out for world-recognized �Christians� like Amy Grant to dip their sails and hide the Gospel message. Folks, Hell is real!!! If you don't believe information technology, so at least have the decency and honesty to terminate calling yourself a Christian. Hell is a real place, that burns with existent fire, where every Christ-rejecting sinner will be tormented 24-hour interval-and-night for all eternity (Revelation 20:10-15).

Contemporary Christian Music (CCM) or Jesus Christ?

You accept to make a pick, it's CCM or Jesus. It'southward Amy Grant or Jesus. It's worldly religious music or Jesus. You cannot follow the world and Jesus...

"And if information technology seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the overflowing, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we volition serve the LORD." -Joshua 24:15

I do NOT hate anyone. I am simply concerned that so many sincere Christians are being misled into believing that information technology is adequate to dress, sing, and act like Amy Grant. It is Non acceptable co-ordinate to the Bible. Nosotros are to be separated from the world. God won't accept second best...

�So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth� (Revelation three:xvi).

TobyMac's lifestyle and his music are vomit to God. Amy Grant makes God sick...

�I�ve get disillusioned, and that�southward why my lyrics are less idealistic. I�m realizing that the globe isn�t a perfect place, and GOD Tin�T SOLVE Anybody�S Issues" (Amy Grant, interview, Family Circle, September 9, 1986, p. 24).

God can't solve everyone's problems?

The Devil is e'er trying to corrupt our youth. Let the heathen rage if they don't like THE TRUTH. The Devil's crowd accuses the righteous of being hateful, but it is Biblical hatred for sin, Not people. Psalm 97:10 commands usa to Detest evil... �Ye that love the LORD, detest evil...� God said to hate evil, non people. The ungodly frequently mistake the believer's hatred for sin equally hatred for sinners, simply nothing could be further from the truth. No one HATES sin every bit much every bit God, withal no 1 LOVES sinners equally much as God. I practice Not hate ANY Christian music entertainer, just I will stand uncompromisingly without apology against heathens like TobyMac, Michael W. Smith and Amy Grant who dare name the name of Christ while trying to corrupt our immature people with worldly music, sinful compromise, and ecumenical betrayment.

In endmost, I'd would similar to repeat the words of Jesus Christ...

�...Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he detect faith on the world?� (Luke eighteen:8).
