Our Children and Their Music
|
Part III
Now the Spirit speaketh expressly,
that in the latter times some shall depart
from the faith,
giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines
of devils...
I Timothy 4:1
Introduction:
-
We will conclude this series tomorrow on a few of the specific musical
details
-
Quick overview of elements of music
-
Comments about Shem, Ham & Japheth and music for a Biblical standard
of music that would fit Philippians 4:8
-
Have you read that music tract of mine? considered
those statements?
As Paul puts it in Colossians 2:1,
my great conflict I have for our kids and their music includes music that
is in their SS curriculums, Vacation Bible School materials, homeschool,
etc. all videos, cassettes, bible stories, pictures, etc. Why does
music have to play such an important part?
Today's children videos and music,
etc...
Encourages against the knowledge of God
-
Imagination Romans 1:21
-
Fantasy II Corinthians 10:5
-
Fables I Timothy 1:4 (not
give heed); I Timothy 4:7
(refuse); II
Timothy 4:4 ;
II Peter 1:16 (cunningly
devised); Jude 4
Heroes:
-
Pirates Isaiah 5:20,21
-
Cartoon characters
-
Vegetables
-
Frogs Revelation 16:13,14
-
Bugs (Hindu)
Teaches:
-
OT works doctrinal character application (forgiveness in context of salvation,
etc.)
-
OT & Gospel teachings
-
NO Pauline teachings at all
-
Detailed instruction of evil, even if good wins in the end, the majority
of the video emphasizes the evil character in a glorified fashion. The
children learn how to do evil - and they remember the songs that represent
the 'bad guy' more than the 'good guy.'
Romans 16:18 (deceive hearts of simple);
19 (be simple concerning
evil); Romans 12:9
(Abhor evil)
-
Rhythm as the main musical element, NOT melody - and harmony works the
kids emotions and feelings. Ephesians 4:14
-
The modern teaching & desire to imitate, not follow, the musical "artist."
NIV vs KJB on follow or imitate
The voice & language of music:
-
manipulates the kids feelings and emotions and thoughts - does the 'work'
of the Holy Spirit, only by music & images but not written words.
Ephesians 4:14
-
sears conscience towards evil / wrong - and 'beat' as well
I Timothy 4:2
-
is a leaven that leavens Galatians 5:9
-
makes kids sensual Jude 19
-
makes provision for the flesh - sin is fun, etc. Romans
13:14
-
becomes a power in and OF their life - an addiction I
Corinthians 6:12; II Timothy 3:5
-
replaces the Bible Romans 1:23; Ephesians
4:29 (evil communications);
II Corinthians 2:17 (corrupt word of God) ;
II Timothy 3:8 (they
resist the truth)
-
is the power of the spirit of antichrist - in the world, in the home AND
in the church - yes, even more and more KJB Bible Believing Churches -
and it is increasing more and more - II Timothy
3:15 AND 16!
Bottom line - Devil gets the kids deceived, to follow Him while
enticing the makes with money!
Luke 8:11-14
I John 4:1-3
I Timothy 6:9,10
And that from a child thou hast known the
holy scriptures,
which are able to make thee wise unto salvation
through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
II Timothy 3:15
