This reminded me that the church has spent too much time, first bashing rock music, then arguing amongst itself about rock music. Meanwhile, the world took the lead in creativity.
Come on people! Creativity comes from GOD! The devil does not create!
Do you want to know who is to blame for all the statanic rock music and the secular rap that's messing up the lives of the youth of America today? We can blame the devil all we want, and yes, the devil is trying to use it. But he didn't create the styles of music. We only have ourselves to blame for not taking the lead in creativity. When new styles of music came into existance, instead of embracing it, we were afraid of it. We decided to say it's of the devil, and give him the credit! The church, the bride of Christ, was giving the devil credit! He deserves no credit! This didn't have to be satanic rock music. It could very well have been a style of music that would be known to be used for worship and for evangelism, and be very powerful! But because we didn't take the lead, the world did, and now that we're playing catch-up, the world thinks we're a joke.
I believe God is raising up a generation who WILL take the lead. They will not be afraid to progress in the arts and music. They will influence and impact the world in a way that it hasn't been impacted before. The world will see God's glory and this, and be in awe of him. They will know that we are not a joke!
I could go on and on, but it's late. Some people probably won't even agree with this, but I know it will speak to some of you out there, and you will be convicted and encouraged by the holy spirit to take the lead.
