Music, you know music is not something that's emphasized in the new testament. It's now that look music is is important
Music is a part of our lives
The longest book in the bible by some measurement psalms right is right there with jeremiah is being one of the longest
Is a song book but it's also filled with a lot of other doctrine
So the new testament is not just going on and on about our music is it?
But yet you go to a lot of churches today and what do you get an hour of music 20 minutes of preaching?
Is that what god emphasizes?
I mean, is god just emphasizing the music the music the music and he's telling the romans about the music and the corinthians about the music
And the galatians about the music and the ephesians about the music and the colossians about the music and the thessalonians
Chapter after chapter and revelation is about the music. I know thy music
Is that what he told? Ephesus to the church of smirna. I know thy music to the church of thai tyra
I know thy worship service to the church at sardis. I know your lighting that thou has purple lights and a bar stool
I know that look we have a bunch of churches today that have built a whole movement on music
Look when I hear about this hillsong church, what do I think of do I think of preaching?
Oh when you hear hillsong, do you think about the doctrine? Do you think about the preaching?
Do you think about the soul winning? Do you think about what they're doing with the word of god?
No, it's just all about the music wrong emphasis
Wrong emphasis music is important music is critical music has its place
But it is not the emphasis in our churches. It's not the emphasis in our religion
It's the preaching it's the word of god. It's the soul winning. It's not just all about the music
But a lot of churches have made it all about the music haven't they i'm not going to pick a church based on music
I'd rather go to the rock and roll jam for jesus church that's soul winning. I haven't seen one yet
I haven't i'd rather go to a church that has the wrong music with soul winning
Then sing holy holy holy with those who don't go soul winning now in a perfect world
We'll sing holy holy holy and then go soul winning amen
We'll sing to god be the glory and blessed assurance and then go soul winning
But i'm not going to pick a church based on the music. That is not the emphasis
Let's emphasize what god emphasizes and let's de-emphasize that which god does not put a lot of emphasis
