No societal breakdown, no war on traditional marriage. Jars of Clay’s singer and songwriter, Dan Haseltine, said, “I just don’t see a negative effect to allowing gay marriage. This comes out not only in their music, but at their concerts (I will discuss this further later on). Jesus Culture happens to be under Bill Johnson, a Hyper-Charismatic who denies Sola Scriptura (Scripture Alone) and stated that Jesus ceased to be God on the cross. What’s sad is that some of the most popular music groups out there have some of the most terrible theologies. It would be as if you had Brian Houston come in and write your worship music for you. Hillsong’s music still reflects their theology, and it is still endorsing a group that preaches the Word of Faith heresy and false Prosperity Gospel. What if that person were to go with the Hillsong song? Would it be just as wrong as quoting Brian Houston above Alistair Begg? I would say yes. They can choose between Hillsong’s “Jesus, Lover of My Soul” and Keith and Krystin Getty’s “In Christ Alone”. Let’s say someone is given an option of who to sing in Church. In this case, Hillsong Music and the Gettys (Who are former members of Parkside). Now, can we agree that a Church-goer’s theology is usually relatively similar to that of the pastor? So let’s look at the congregants at Hillsong Australia (Brian Houston) and Parkside Church of Cleveland (Alistair Begg). What he said will be said leaning towards the point he wanted to make, using the same hermeneutic (Way of reading the Bible) he usually uses, and showing the same errors common in his theology. Brian Houston’s writings reflect his theology. It will likely cause his undiscerning congregation to listen to Brian Houston, quote Brian Houston, read Brian Houston, and even recommend Brian Houston to others.Ģ. He gets up in the pulpit, and instead of using quotes from “Preaching for God’s Glory”, he uses the quotes from “You Need More Money”. When he’s done reading, he picks up Brian Houston’s “You Need More Money” from the heresy shelf, in which the same point is made (This is a hypothetical). He sees a point that he would really like to make the next Sunday. A pastor is reading Alistair Begg’s book, “Preaching for God’s Glory”.

Some of the videos are disturbing to watch. Instead, Christians are focusing on themselves - their feelings and experiences….have I hit a nerve? Why? Mainly because worship is all about me, not about God, so little or no attention is paid to the words we sing to Him.īut words matter, and what we say to God should matter a lot. Sadly, some people who profess Christ really don’t care about the words that go from their lips to God’s ears. More often than not CCM is unbiblical, even blasphemous! But many Christians don’t have the spiritual discernment to pick up on it. The truth of the matter is that most CCM really isn’t Christian at all - not even close! How do I know that? By listening to the lyrics. The blog post below addresses the astonishing lack of discernment among self-professed Christians when it comes to contemporary Christian music (CCM).
