              (Due to the importance of this message...copy and
                     distribute wherever the Lord leads.)
 
          In the world of biology, we are given the example of a frog
      that when placed into boiling water, will immediately jump out.
      However, if that same frog is put into a bowl of cool water
      which is slowly heated by a bunsen burner, the frog will
      eventually boil to death.
 
           Religious rock and roll is like the frog  and the water.
      The term "rock and roll" means fornication.  It is a street name
      for sexual immorality.  It has wrecked the lives of many
      teenagers through suicide, drug abuse, immorality, perversion,
      satanism, etc.  Sadly, we live in a day where many Christians and
      church leaders are allowing this demonic music into their churches,
      claiming that the music is holy and sanctified because the lyrics
      are changed to include some 'religious' words.  Where is the
      discernment in the church?  Are Christians losing their ability to
      discern the difference between good and evil?  The fact that this
      demonic music even made it into the church is proof of the moral
      and spiritual decline affecting the church today.  We are being
      invaded by hard rock, acid rock, punk rock, new wave, and heavy
      metal music under the guise of religious rock and roll.
 
            God says in His Word: "O that there were such a heart in
      them, that they would fear me, and keep all my commandments always,
      that it might be well with them, and with their children for ever!"
      (Deut 5:29).  "Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because
      of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of
      disobedience.  Be not ye therefore partakers with them.  For ye
      were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as
      children of light" (Eph 5:6-8).  "But exhort one another daily,
      while it is called Today; lest any of you be hardened through the
      deceitfulness of sin" (Heb 3:13).
           Satan was created a beautiful musical creature: "...every
      precious stone was thy covering,...the workmanship of thy tabrets
      and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast
      created" (Ezek 28:13).  Since music was built into his very nature
      are we foolish enough to assume that he will not use it to deceive
      and enslave?
           We are told by the religious rockers that we must look and
      sound like the world in order to reach the youth of this
      generation.  They say, many young people will not listen to the
      gospel or come to church so we must meet them on some common
      ground.  That common ground is rock and roll.  In other words, they
      are saying that preaching of the Word of God is no longer
      sufficient for both young and old.  If this is true, then we should
      open bars in order to reach the multitudes of drinkers.  We should
      open porno-shops in order to reach those who engage in smut.
      Shouldn't we go to their level so we can bring them to the Lord
      Jesus Christ?  So what if we do evil if the end result is good?
      What's a little compromise with God's standards of holiness and
      separation if it results in souls being saved?...  This type of
      reasoning is one of the doctrines of demons that Christians are
      accepting.  Does it not make sense that the same Bible that has
      worked sucessfully to this time, will continue to work for both the
      young and the old?  How many Christians love God's people enough to
      say, "no more! Throw this satanic filth out of the church and back
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
      into hell where it belongs"?  Do you realize that just 10 years ago
      this evil music would not have even remotely been considered as a
      suitable method to sing and praise God.  That type of music would
      have been immediately thrown out of the churches.  What we are
      witnessing today is the spiritual and moral degeneration that is
      affecting Christians to the degree that many no longer have any
      discernment between good and evil.
 
 
                           HISTORY OF ROCK AND ROLL
 
            This is a brief section on the history of rock and roll.  If
      you are a Christian and you don't realize that secular rock is evil
      and demonic then you better get your spiritual eyes examined
      because you have big problems.  One distressing problem about the
      religious rock scene is that many involved also listen to secular
      rock and roll.  At some of the concerts put on by the religious
      rockers they sometime "warm" up their audiences by playing secular
      rock and roll songs.
           As you read the history of rock and roll, observe how Satan
      brought in his rock music in the 1950's and slowly degenerated it
      to it's present level of baseness.  Watch how Satan slowly turned
      up his bunsen burner until his music developed to it's present low.
      The following information was taken from a chart from Freedom
      Village U.S.A. called History of rock and roll, Major influence
      chart.
 
                          Early Rock: Mid 50's - Early 60's
 
      Message:  Seemingly harmless music and lyrics promoted "good
      times". Also promoted dancing the new dance fads. "Teen Idols" were
      worshiped by teenage girls and being "cool" was in for boys.  The
      stage was being set for rebellion by the "greaser" image.
      Music:  Blend of "Big Band" with its powerful physical dance
      influence and "rhythm and blues", based on African rhythm patterns.
      Tempos and rhythm patterns were smooth and "catchy".  Melodies
      created a very whimsical "Happy Days" atmosphere.
      Main Performers:  Elvis Presley, Chuck Berry, Bill Haley and The
      Comets, Jerry Lee Lewis, Fats Domino, Little Richard, Platters,
      Four Seasons, Smokey Robinson & the Miracles, and James Brown.
 
 
 
      British Invasion, Motown Music, Folk Music:  Early 60's - Late 60's
 
      Message:  Introduction to stronger rebellion theme which was to be
      the thread through all future rock music.  It promoted free sex,
      drugs, and rebellion, presenting them as harmless fun.  Also
      introduced false religions (TM). Folk groups promoted anti-
      establishment attitudes and appearances.
      Music:  British influence hardened the American music by taking out
      the swing beat and putting in a more frenzied pace tempo.  Motown
      added to the driving, repetitious rhythms with its "soul music".
      Main Performers: Beatles, Beach Boys, The Rolling Stones, The
      Temptations, Bob Dylan, Peter, Paul and Mary, Supremes, Simon and
      Garfunkle, Shirelles, Four Tops, and the Mama's and Papa's.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
      Acid or Hard Rock:  Late 60's - Early 70's
 
      Message:  Huge rock concerts promoted free sex, open drug and
      alcohol abuse, and a total do-your-own-thing attitude.  Lyrics
      preached rebellion, no morals, and no responsibilities.  Drugs
      became synonymous with rock music. Stage violence begins.  Sharper
      focus on false religions.  Music:  Developed more repetition and a
      hypnotic effect.  More rhythm, more volume, and more violence
      became the dominant force of songs.  Groups actually destroyed
      equipment on stage.  Early beginning of "cross-dressing" and use of
      make-up by men.
      Main Performers:  Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, The Doors, The
      Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Led Zepplin, Crosby, Stills & Nash,
      Joan Baez, Grateful Dead, and Chicago.
 
 
      Heavy Metal: Early 70's - Late 70's
 
      Message:  Sex, no morality, and drug abuse.  Lyrics openly promote
      rebellion, violence, and homosexuality. Satanic messages are hidden
      or camouflaged by backwards masking.  Also, open sex begins to
      occur on the dance floors of discos.
      Music: Beat and volume increase, driving rhythms captivate
      listeners.  Beat or pulse of music hypnotizes listeners as they are
      fed evil lyrics.  Performers openly admit sexual perversion and act
      it out on stage, contributing to the moral decay and debasing of
      society.
      Main Performers:  Kiss, Rod Stewart, Bee Gees, The Who, Led
      Zepplin, Elton John, Alice Cooper, Village People, Stevie Wonder,
      Black Sabbath, Rolling Stones, Eagles, Jethro Tull, and Deep
      Purple.
 
 
      Theatrical Satan Rock: Late 70's - Present
 
      Message:  Violence supreme.  Satan is no longer hiding his motives.
      Lyrics openly denounce Christianity presenting the devil as the
      answer.  Violence, sex, rebellion, and drugs are not only promoted,
      but are acted out on stage.  Lyrics even promote suicide. MTV
      brings Satan's messages into homes through rock videos.
      Music:  Violent, loud, abrasive. It has become a combination of
      Disco, Hard Rock, and 50's music. Synthesized music creates a
      "robot-like" sound, simulating the controlling power of rock music.
      Rock music has evolved into the single most powerful tool by which
      Satan communicates his evil messages to our youth.
      Main Performers:  Kiss, Eagles, Iron Maiden, Cindi Lauper, Black
      Sabbath, Judas Priest, Van Halen, AC/DC, The Grateful Dead, Michael
      Jackson, W.A.S.P., Prince, Boy George, and Alice Cooper.
 
           To the Christian, God says in His Word: "And have no
      fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather
      reprove them" (Eph. 5:11).  The Lord Jesus said in Matt 7:18,20 "A
      good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree
      bring forth good fruit....Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know
      them."  The question this verse brings to mind is: What kind of
      fruit does rock and roll produce?  There is definite fruit to rock
      and roll and all of it is evil.  This demonic music has been the
      major tool and vehicle through which Satan popularized suicide,
      drug abuse, immorality, perversions (bestiality etc.), blasphemy
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
      against God and sacred things, homosexuality, occultism, and
      satanism.  Now God has said to Christians not to have any
      fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness.  Rock and roll is
      an unfruitful work of darkness and Christians have no business
      trying to imitate those who are on the broad road to destruction.
      Christians also have no business listening to secular rock as it is
      all an abomination to God.
 
           God also says in His Word: "Love not the world, neither the
      things that are in the world.  If any 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 lust of the eyes and the pride of life, is
      not of the Father, but is of the world" (1 John 2:15-16).  "As
      obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the
      former lusts in your ignorance.  But as he which hath called you is
      holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; Because it is
      written, Be ye holy; for I am holy" (1 Pet 1:14-16). "Having
      therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves
      from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in
      the fear of God" (2 Cor 7:1).  Finally, how can Christians be holy
      as we are commanded when an earring is hung in the ear, satanic
      sexual clothes are worn, and a rebellious nightclub atmosphere is
      created by those who claim to worship God?
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
                      RELIGIOUS ROCK: A BRIEF HISTORY
 
 
 
      "Ye have wearied the Lord with your words.  Yet ye say, Wherein
      have we wearied him?   When ye say, Every one that doeth evil is
      good in the sight of the Lord, and he delighteth in them; or,
      Where is the God of judgment" (Malachi 2:17).  "And be not
      conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of
      your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable,
      and perfect, will of God" (Rom 12:2).  "And because iniquity shall
      abound, the love of many shall wax cold"  (Matt 24:12).
 
           The same spirit of rock and roll which includes: the spirit
      of rebellion, the spirit of immorality and perversion,  and the
      spirit of death is now being brought into the churches under the
      guise of religious rock and roll.
 
           Remembering the example of the frog, the water, and the
      bunsen burner: the devil first turned on his bunsen burner when he
      introduced "Christian" contemporary music into the church.  Within
      this scope of music there were many areas of "grey" as the church
      lightly began to assimiliate the style and sound of the devil's
      rock and roll music.  The bunsen burner continued to burn and the
      water slowly heated up.  Next, Satan slowly introduced hard rock
      and roll into the churches.  Once this religious rock and roll
      gained acceptance the devil turned up the flame on his bunsen
      burner.  He then brought in religious heavy metal, religious acid
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
      rock, religious new wave, and religious punk rock.  Again since
      Satan did it slowly, he was able to gain acceptance for his demonic
      music.  Today the water is boiling and many in the church have
      accepted his deception.  Pastors and church leaders, who ought to
      know better, bring this filth into their churches believing the
      deception that God can use this evil for His glory.
 
 
                           LOSS OF DISCERNMENT
 
           One definite cause for the lack of discernment is the
      television set.  The technology of television itself is not evil.
      However, TV programs are energized by either God or Satan.  Most of
      the programs on television present morals, lifestyles, and
      attitudes that are contrary and opposed to the Word of God.
      Television is now glorifying evil, murder, violence, occultism,
      immorality, and perversion while at the same time Christianity and
      godly standards are mocked and belittled.  Today millions of
      unbelievers sit in front of their TV sets laughing and mocking at
      what once was considered sacred.  The tragedy of all this is that
      Christians are blinded and hardened as they spend hours sitting at
      home parked in front of their TV's getting ministered to by the
      devil.  While Christians sit and watch shows that deep down they
      know God would not approve of, they slowly go further from God and
      closer to the world.
           The children are not spared either as most of the Saturday
      morning cartoons have evil, occultic story lines.  Along with TV,
      other factors contributing to the loss of discernment are: little
      or no daily prayer life and irregular, inconsistent Bible reading.
      God warns in His Word: "Behold, ye trust in lying words, that
      cannot profit.  Will ye steal, murder, and commit adultery, and
      swear falsely, and burn incense unto Baal, and walk after other
      gods whom ye know not; And come and stand before me in this house,
      which is called by my name, and say, We are delivered to do all
      these abominations?"  (Jer 7:8-10).
           Christians have not been delivered from sin and hell in order
      to partake of abominations.  God wants His people to live holy,
      separated lives in this evil world.  The cry through the land is
      for revival, but how can it come when Christians are in love with
      their TV's and rock music?  All this is at the expense of Bible
      reading, prayer, holiness, and separation from evil.
 
 
                          FRUIT OF RELIGIOUS ROCK
 
      This is a partial list of the evil fruit of religious rock and roll
      music.  It is by no means exhaustive.
 
      - CONFORMITY: There is a definite pressure to conform to this world
      rather than to separate oneself from its godless influence.
      Religious rock is a cheap imitation of secular rock and roll.
      These religious rockers, like the secular, play their music at the
      same ear-splitting level and give off the same nightclub bar-room
      atmosphere with all the coloured lights, smoke pots, and special
      effects.  Little do these religious rockers realize, but as they
      identify and imitate the secular rock scene they are indirectly
      giving approval to that type of morality and lifestyle.  As a
      result they are a path of destruction for others.  Note: The reason
      rock and roll is played so loud is because at high decibel levels a
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
      person's conscience and inihibitions are numbed.  That individual
      can be more easily programmed to accept Satan's standards instead
      of God's.
           What does God have to say about all this compromise and
      fellowship with evil?  In 2 Cor. 6:14-17 God says: "Be ye not
      unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath
      righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light
      with darkness?  And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what
      part hath he that believeth with an infidel?  And what agreement
      hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the
      living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in
      them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
      Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the
      Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you."
      After reading this it can be seen that coming out and being
      separate from evil is not the cheap imitation and monkey-see-
      monkey-do that the religious rock scene portrays.  Again, where is
      the discernment between good and evil within the church?
 
      -SECULAR ROCK AND ROLL:  One definite fruit of religious rock is
      that it leads it's followers back to involvement with secular rock.
      Many Christian young people listen to secular rock radio stations
      and own secular rock albums in addition to their collection of
      religious rock and roll.  As already pointed out, at religious rock
      concerts some of the bands play secular rock songs to "warm" up the
      audience.  This exposes Christian young people to all forms of
      demonic filth and will certainly influence them in a negative way.
      The danger is that religious rock will lead people away from God,
      holiness, and a separated lifestyle just as surely as secular rock
      will lead them to the devil.  God says plainly in James 4:4 "Ye
      adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the
      world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of
      the world is the enemy of God".
 
             Why would a Christian listen to secular rock & roll?
 
        "Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily,
      therefore the hearts of the sons of men is fully set in them to
      do evil" (Eccl 8:11)....or, maybe they don't really love the
      Lord Jesus....or, maybe they are not really born again but merely
      profess to be a Christian.
 
          The Bible says that Satan was created a beautiful musical
      creature  (Ezek 28:13).  Since music was built into his very nature
      are we foolish enough to assume that he will not use it to deceive
      and enslave?
 
           Rock comes in a package --- it is a package deal!  The listener
      doesn't just get the music alone.  Over time one or more of the
      following evil fruits will be manifest in the life of the
      listener:   -Rebellion        -Suicide    -Homosexuality
                  -Violence         -Immoraliy  -Blasphemy
                  -Drugs & Alcohol  -Occult     -Worldliness
 
           The music influences (in a negative, unbiblical way) a persons':
      morals, values, and philosophy of life.   How does the music do this?
      The music mesmerizes the listener while Satan puts his ungodly
      lyrics, morals, and standards into the persons' mind either directly
      or by backward masking.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
             There are no neutral secular rock and roll groups
 
           There is no rock group totally neutral and suitable for
      Christian listening.  Why?  Every rock group either directly or
      indirectly has songs with lyrics that according to God's standards
      encourage one or more of the following: rebellion, immorality,
      drug use, drinking, occultism, suicide, violence, and blasphemy.
      Name one rock group that does not encourage any form of evil
      according to God's standards!  It cannot be done.
           Does rock music produce: Godliness and purity, a hunger and
      a thirst for Christ,  a broken and contrite heart, conviction for
      sin, or a Christ honouring atmosphere? ...No, No, No it does not.
      If rock doesn't do any of these things, but rather does the
      opposite, then why would any Christian listen to this music???
 
            The following is a quote by David Wilkerson from his book:
      SET THE TRUMPET TO THY MOUTH.  He is talking about the problem of
      Religious rock, but it also applies to Christians who partake of
      secular rock. "Only the despisers of the Lord Jesus could embrace
      what He hates. Only the rebellious could purchase one of their
      records.  Only those with a divided heart could go to one of their
      concerts or view one of their video cassettes. Their video cassettes
      are demonic and blasphemous. The spirit of mixture and confusion it
      was born in will slowly possess you and lead you blindly to the
      altars of Baal.  Sneer if you choose, but you have been warned"
      (page 113,114).
 
 
      -BLIND DEFENSE: Some religious rockers get very angry when they
      hear someone speak against their demonic music they love so dearly.
      If only they would defend, love, and serve the Lord Jesus Christ as
      much as their godless music.  God says: "For ye were sometimes
      darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of
      light" (Eph 5:8).  "See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as
      fools, but as wise, Redeeming the time, because the days are evil"
      (Eph 5:15,16).
 
      -REBELLION:  Many involved in the religious rock scene refuse to
      listen to correction and rebuke from scripture.  They harden their
      necks and set their mind not to give up their demonic music.  It
      doesn't seem to concern them that this music is vomit on the table
      of the Lord and is an abomination to Him.
 
 
      "Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep
      my words:...He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings..."
      (John 14:23-24).
 
      "Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the
      Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you"
      (2 Cor 6:17).  Christians are a peculiar people and God wants them
      to live godly, separated, and holy lives in this evil world.
      "Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should
      live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;"
      (Titus 2:12).
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
                             THE PURPOSE OF MUSIC
 
           Why do the religious rock and rollers not only desire to look
      and sound like the world but also desire to be accepted by the
      world?  They want to play on MTV and get their songs high on the
      secular and gospel charts.  The Lord Jesus Christ said in
      John 15:19,20 "If ye were of the world, the world would love his
      own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out
      of the world, therefore the world hateth you.  Remember the word
      that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. It
      they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you;...".  We
      also read in 2 Tim 3:12 "Yea, and all that will live godly in
      Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution".  The previous verses state
      that Christians will not be loved and accepted by the world because
      the world in general rejects the Lord Jesus Christ.  "And this is
      the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved
      darkness rather that light, because their deeds were evil"
      (John 3:19).
           In light of the Word of God does it not follow to reason that
      true godly music that worships and exalts the Lord Jesus Christ
      will be rejected by the world?  Music that calls people to
      repentance, holiness, separation, and total commitment to the Lord
      Jesus Christ will not be popular in the eyes of a Christ-rejecting
      world.
           Now what is the purpose of music?  Music has two purposes: 1)
      to worship and glorify God;  2) To edify and build up Christians.
      The Word of God says: "Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns
      and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the
      Lord" (Eph 5:19).  "Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in
      all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and
      hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the
      Lord" (Col 3:16).
           Music is not necessary to win the lost but it is a form of
      worship and praise to God.  In fact, sacred Gospel music is not for
      the world and it has never been meant for the world.  It is for the
      child of God to worship and praise God.  God has not ordained music
      to win the lost; he has ordained preaching.  "For after that in the
      wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by
      the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe"
      (1 Cor 1:21).  The purpose of sacred gospel music is not to draw
      the unsaved to the Lord Jesus Christ.  Sacred music may at times
      draw the unsaved, but that is not its purpose.  Its purpose is to
      worship and praise God and not to be used as a tool to win the
      unsaved.  The unsaved are drawn to God by the preaching of the
      Word.
           Since music is a form  of worship it is corrupted when mixed
      with carnality.  The worship of God must be carried out with
      holiness and purity.  Linking worship to the demonic, sexual,
      rebellious style of rock and roll is nothing less than blasphemy.
      God's demands of righteousness and holiness have never been
      diminished.  Just as it was an abomination to offer to the Lord a
      blemished lamb for sacrifice, so today it is an abomination to
      offer to God carnal, worldly, sexual, demonic music as a praise
      offering.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
                             A PROFANE DENIAL
 
      "They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being
      abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate"
      (Titus 1:16).
 
           The religious rockers make many professions about the Lord
      Jesus Christ but as soon as the music starts, a transformation
      occurs as they are taken over by the spirit of Elvis Presley. The
      Lord Jesus warned in Matt 7:21-23 "Not every one that saith unto
      me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that
      doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.  Many will say to
      me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and
      in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many
      wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew
      you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity".  It can be seen by
      this verse that there is more to being a Christian than just
      speaking the name of Jesus.  The Lord Jesus said to those who
      worked iniquity to depart because He didn't know them.
           In the religious rock scene we have many who freely profess
      the name of Jesus but in works they deny Him.  They go on stage and
      speak about the Lord Jesus Christ but they play music associated
      with rebellion, sexual immorality, perversion, and nihilism.  They
      wear demonic sexual clothing such as: sado-masochistic studded
      jackets and pants, effeminate men with earrings, long hair, makeup,
      and tight sexual clothing.  All this adds up to a denial of their
      words by their actions.
           When people are communicating there is a verbal part and a
      non-verbal part.  In order for the message to be clearly understood
      both the verbal and the non-verbal must be in agreement.  If there
      is a contradiction between the verbal and the non-verbal, people
      will believe the non-verbal before the verbal.  These religious
      rockers verbally make their profession; "They profess that they
      know God;". Non-verbally the religious rockers give off a different
      message of rebellion, compromise, and sexuality; "but in works they
      deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good
      work reprobate" (Titus 1:16).  When they claim to be preaching the
      Lord Jesus Christ, they really are not.  What they are actually
      doing is taking the name of the Lord in vain.  They profane the
      name of the Lord when they link it up with something that is not
      consistant with His nature.
 
 
                 JUDGMENT IS COMING ON RELIGIOUS ROCK AND ROLL
 
           This is a warning to anyone involved with Satan's religious
      rock and roll.
 
      - You are playing demonic music that is an abomination to God.
 
      - You are harming yourself as well as God's blood-bought children.
 
      The Lord Jesus warns: "But whoso shall offend one of these little
      ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone
      were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth
      of the sea" (Matt 18:6).
 
      - If you truly love the Lord Jesus you will forsake this evil
      music.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
      - If you do not, God's judgment will surely come into your life.
 
                     Judgment is coming for the rebellious
        God has always judged sin and rebellion in the past, and He is
      going to do it again.  Do you want God's judgment in your life?
      "But as for them whose heart walketh after the heart of their
      detestable things and their abominations, I will recompense their
      way upon their own heads, saith the Lord God" (Ezek 11:21).  "But
      when the righteous turneth away from his righteousness, and
      committeth iniquity, and doeth according to all the abominations
      that the wicked man doeth, shall he live?  All his righteousness
      that he hath done shall not be mentioned: in his trespass that he
      hath trespassed, and in his sin that he hath sinned, in them
      shall he die" (Ezek 18:24).  The Bible warns: "Ye adulterers and
      adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is
      enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world
      is the enemy of God" (James 4:4).   It's your choice; obey or rebel.
 
      "O Lord, are not thine eyes upon the truth? thou hast stricken
      them, but they have not grieved; thou hast consumed them, but they
      have refused to receive correction: they have made their faces
      harder than a rock; they have refused to return" (Jer 5:3).
 
      "Now will I shortly pour out my fury upon thee, and accomplish mine
      anger upon thee: and I will judge thee according to thy ways, and
      will recompense thee for all thine abominations.  And mine eye
      shall not spare, neither will I have pity: I will recompense thee
      according to thy ways and thine abominations that are in the midst
      of thee; and ye shall know that I am the Lord that smiteth" (Ezek
      7:8,9).
 
      "Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put
      darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for
      sweet, and sweet for bitter!" (Isaiah 5:20).
 
      "For every one of the house of Israel, or of the stranger that
      sojourneth in Israel, which separateth himself from me, and setteth
      up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumblingblock of his
      iniquity before his face, and cometh to a prophet to enquire of him
      concerning me; I the Lord will answer him by myself: And I will set
      my face against that man, and will make him a sign and a proverb,
      and I will cut him off from the midst of my people; and ye shall
      know that I am the Lord" (Ezek 14:7,8).
 
 
 
 
                          A WARNING TO PASTORS
 
      "...It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer;
      but ye have made it a den of thieves" (Matt 21:13).
 
           This verse has real meaning today in light of religious rock.
      God's temple was not intended to become a den of thieves.  This
      verse says: "ye have made it", refering to the fact that it was the
      religious leaders that allowed the temple to go from a house of
      prayer to a den of thieves.
           Today church leaders and pastors have an awesome
      responsibility and they will give an account as to how they
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
      pastored a church under their charge.  If the pastor allows
      foolishness and evil to come in, it will affect God's blood-bought
      people in a negative way by causing worldliness, carnality, and
      backsliding.  On the other hand, if they keep out evil and
      concentrate on building up God's people with the Word of God, the
      church will grow and mature.  "Take heed therefore unto yourselves,
      and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you
      overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with
      his own blood" (Acts 20:28).
           The tragedy of the religious rock scene is that this demonic
      music would never have made it into the churches if the pastors and
      church leaders had obeyed God and closed the door to this evil.
 
      The following is a warning for any pastor or church leader who
      takes his job lightly and is not committed to building up and
      protecting God's church:
 
      "Her priests have violated my law, and have profaned mine holy
      things: they have put no difference between the holy and profane,
      neither have they shewed difference between the unclean and the
      clean,..." (Ezek 22:26).
 
      "And ye have not kept the charge of mine holy things: but ye have
      set keepers of my charge in my sanctuary for yourselves...Yet they
      shall be ministers in my sanctuary, having charge at the gates of
      the house, and ministering to the house: they shall slay the burnt
      offering and the sacrifice for the people, and they shall stand
      before them to minister unto them. Because they ministered unto
      them before their idols, and caused the house of Israel to fall
      into iniquity; therefore have I lifted up mine hand against them,
      saith the Lord God, and they shall bear their iniquity. And they
      shall not come near unto me, to do the office of a priest unto me,
      nor to come near to any of my holy things, in the most holy place:
      but they shall bear their shame, and their abominations which they
      have committed" (Ezek 44:8,11-13).
 
 
 
                          DANGEROUS REASONING...
 
 
 
      ARGUMENT #1  Christian rock can't be wrong.  Look at all the people
      who go forward at the concerts.  Look at how popular God has made
      these bands.
 
      ANSWER:  So-called results do not mean God is behind it.  The Lord
      Jesus said in Matthew 7:15,21-23  "Beware of false prophets, which
      come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening
      wolves....Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter
      into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father
      which is in heaven.  Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord,
      have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out
      devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?  And then will I
      profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work
      iniquity".
           The Lord Jesus also said that many will be deceived by false
      prophets and false Christs.  "And many false prophets shall rise,
      and shall deceive many.  And because iniquity shall abound, the love
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
      of many shall wax cold....for there shall arise false Christs, and
      false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; insomuch
      that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect"
      Matthew 24:11,12,24.
 
 
     *** (Note *  An altar call at a religious rock concert can be likened
     to a wolf giving altar calls to chickens!!!)
 
 
      ARGUMENT #2  But Jesus went out and mingled with sinners.
 
      ANSWER:  The Lord Jesus never went into a den of iniquity nor did He
      copy the ways of the ungodly.  The Bible says:  "For such a high
      priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from
      sinners, and made higher than the heavens;" Hebrews 7:26.   "I have
      given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are
      not of the world, even as I am not of the world" John 17:14.
 
 
      ARGUMENT #3  We have to use Rock Music because this is the only way
      the youth of this generation can be reached.
 
      ANSWER:  The Bible answers this directly in 2 Corinthians 6:14-17
      "Be ye not unequally yolked together with unbelievers: for what
      fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what
      communion hath light with darkness?  And what concord hath Christ
      with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
      And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the
      temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them,
      and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my
      people.  Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate,
      saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive
      you, and will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and
      daughters, saith the Lord Almighty".  Also, "For after that in the
      wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by
      the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe" (1 Cor 1:21).
           The Word of God does not say we are to go out and borrow the
      evil ways of the ungodly and use them for "soulwinning", but rather
      we are commanded to come out and separate ourselves from evil.  The
      Word of God states further in James 4:4  "Ye adulterers and
      adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity
      with God?  whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the
      enemy of God".
 
 
                        ........ WARNING ........
 
           "Christian Rock" is destructive to the Church as it leads God's
      people into sensuality and compromise.  If you sincerely love The
      Lord Jesus Christ and you are involved with this music, then obey
      the Lord and forsake this unclean thing.
           We now have: Christian Rock, Christian New Wave, Christian
      Heavy Metal, Christian Punk.  What are these rebels going to
      advocate next? Christian drug use, Christian Witchcraft, Christian
      Pornography???
               "They profess that they know God; but in works they deny
      Him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work
      reprobate"  Titus 1:16.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
      "But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through
      his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity
      that is in Christ.  For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus,
      whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye
      have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye
      might well bear with him....For such are false apostles, deceitful
      workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.  And
      no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
      Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed
      as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to
      their works" 2 Corinthians 11:3,4,13-15.
 
      "For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old
      ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our
      God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord
      Jesus Christ....Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the
      flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities....Woe unto
      them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after
      the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of
      Korah.  These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast
      with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without
      water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without
      fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots; raging waves of the sea,
      foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved
      the blackness of darkness for ever" Jude 4,8,11-13.

     "I want to play hardball in this business.  I want to be on the same
     level professionally with performers in all areas of music.  I love
     to hear Billy Joel, Kenny Loggins, and the Doobie Brothers.  Why not?
     I aim to bridge the gap between Christian and pop." (Time Mar/85)
 
     " Grant's also pragmatic about her career. Regarding her album covers
     and publicity photos, which portray her as a sexy, attractive young
     woman.  The Christian pop star says,' I'm trying to look sexy to sell
     a record. But what is sexy? To me it's never been taking my shirt off
     or sticking my tongue out. I feel that a Christian young woman in the
     eighties is very sexual'.....'When he {Prince} started humping the
     stage, I got a little embarrassed', says the twenty-four-year-old
     Grant, sitting in the bright sunlight near the swimming pool at her
     Universal City hotel. 'I quit looking. When he thrust his crotch up
     into the florescent shower,'she continues in her Southern drawl, 'I
     thought if someone wants to do this at home, fine. If I want to do
     this at home, fine. I don't want to watch Prince doing it. I didn't
     get off watching him create the illusion of masturbating'"

     "The hair is long and the screams are loud'n'clear. The clothes are
     tight, earrings dangling from their ears. No matter how we look,
     we'll always praise His name. And, if you believe, you've got to do
     the same." (Stryper from Loud'n'Clear)
     "If you had to guess their name, you might think of the Devil's
     Disciples or the Beelzebubs. Or perhaps the Killer Bees, which is
     what the four young men on stage look like in their tight leather-and
     spandex costumes crisscrossed with garish black and yellow stripes.
     Piles of makeup, spikey hair, and enough dangling chains to tie up
     half the elephants in Africa complete the picture of the up-to-date
     heavy metal rock group. Even the music, the sound of a swarm of angry
     insects electronically amplified several thousand times, fits the
     image." (Time Mar/85)
 
                                   REZ BAND
     "A new album, Between Heaven'N'Hell (their eighth), recently hit the
     streets, and with it, Rez begins its campaign aimed at winning over
     the secular mainstream rock audience....Rez has made a number of
     other moves designed to facilitate their transition to the secular
     market. They've pacted with a New York-based management/marketing
     firm on a four-month trial basis. They have signed with the venerable
     Diversified Management Agency (DMA) out of Detroit who will be
     handling concert bookings. (Other heavy DMA clients include the
     Scorpions, Quiet Riot, and Autograph.)...In order to do that, Rez is
     all too aware, they're going to have to 'play by certain rules,' as
     Herrin puts it. They've already stopped the practice of altar calls
     in concert, and they're toning down overt references to the Lord. In
     general, they want to present themselves, first and foremost, as a
     rock band." (Contempory Christian Magazine - April 1986).

     "The people coming into the concerts are ready to rock. They come out
     and want to have a good time. Some people need to get out there and
     preach to them. Ask them for a decision at the end, but that's not my
     calling. The kids I see are just ready to kick it out and have fun."

     "I appeared on the Dove Awards last year and I still feel
     uncomfortable about it. I really don't belong there because I'm not
     really part of that Gospel mainstream. Sure, I'm a Christian and that
     influences the way I write songs but that's just being honest,
     everybody pushes a point of view." (CCM Feb 1986).

     going to let the world stand up and say, 'Wow, man, did you see that
     guy?' And it's going to be a perfect setup. As soon as they've got
     their mouths open or their hearts open and they're going 'Wow', I'm
     gonna throw Jesus right down their throats." (CCM  Oct. 1985).

     contemporary Christian music...We are a rock'n'roll band. We sound
     like one, we look like one, and at the end of the night we smell like
     one....Its a rock'n'roll show that is a ministry. You can't separate
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
     the two. Rock'n'roll is what I do. I put on a good show. I entertain
     those people, I have a good time with them.......One of the things
     Mylon may be referring to is a new album due out soon from CBS. He
     and the band are going by the name, Look Up. 'It's a Christian album,
     but you really have to know the Word to know it. CBS ain't gonna know
     it. Every song on there - every note on there - is played by born-
     again, Spirit-filled Christians. We had a good time making the
     record. It's an anointed record and it's got a good message, but it's
     very shallow. We really avoided certain words and phrases, you know.
     It's just about themes." (CCM  Mar 1986)

                         RELIGIOUS ROCK AND ROLL
 
 
         There is a style of music which has been invading the Church of
     Jesus Christ which is godless, immoral, and which leads Christians
     into rebellion and compromise with the world.  That style of music is
     "Christian" Rock an Roll.  The term Rock & Roll was given to name a
     form of music in the 1950's.  The style of music was evil from its
     beginning and it was appropriately given the name Rock & Roll.  This
     name was given by the world and it stands for the practice of
     fornication by teenagers in the back seat of a car.
 
          The primary axiom of music evaluation is that there is no such
     thing as amoral music.  Music is either good or evil.  God says we
     are responsible for everything we say, do, or think.  The Bible says:
     "...That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give
     account thereof in the day of judgment" (Matt. 12:36).  "For we must
     all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may
     receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done,
     whether it be good or bad" (2 Cor 5:10).
 
          The adherents of "Christian" Rock claim that their music is
     necessary in order to win the lost to Christ.  However, they overlook
     the fact that God has ordained preaching to win the lost and not
     music.  The Bible says: "For after that in the wisdom of God the
     world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of
     preaching to save them that believe" (1 Cor 1:21).
 
          Music has two purposes:
 
                   (1) To worship and glorify God.
 
                   (2) To edify and build up Christians.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
          "Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs,
     singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord" (Eph 5:19).
     "Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching
     and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs,
     singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord" (Col 3:16).
 
          Music is not necessary to win the lost but it is a form of
     worship and praise to God.  Since music is a form of worship it is
     corrupted when mixed with carnality.  The worship of God must be
     carried out with purity.  The world can take clean music and make it
     unclean, but Christians cannot take unclean music and make it clean.
     (See Haggai 2:12-13)
 
          We are commanded not to touch the unclean thing.  This also
     applies to the music we listen to.  The Bible says: "Be ye not
     unequally yolked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath
     righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light
     with darkness?  And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what
     part hath he that believeth with an infidel?  And what agreement hath
     the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living
     God; as God hath said I will dwell in them, and walk in them and I
     will be their God, and they shall be my people.  Wherefore come out
     from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not
     the unclean thing; and I will receive you, and will be a Father unto
     you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty".
          The Word of God does not say we are to go out and borrow the
     evil ways of the ungodly and use them for "soulwinning", but rather
     we are commanded to come out and separate ourselves from evil.  The
     Word of God states further in James 4:4  " Ye adulterers and
     adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity
     with God?  whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the
     enemy of God".
 
          There are some people who say that "Christian" Rock can't be
     wrong because of all the people who go forward at the concerts.  They
     also mention that these bands are popular because God is blessing
     them.  However; so called results do not mean that God is behind it.
     The end does not justify the means (That is the basis of humanism).
     The Lord Jesus said that many will be deceived by false prophets and
     false Christs. "And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive
     many.  And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax
     cold....for there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and
     shall show great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were
     possible they shall deceive the very elect" (Matt 24:11,12,24).
          There may be sincere conversions at these concerts because God
     will always honour His Word no matter under what circumstances it is
     given.  However, it is one thing to be saved, and another to grow and
     develop into a victorious Christian.  The Lord Jesus warned in
     (Matt 7:15,21-23). "Beware of false prophets, which come to you in
     sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves....Not every
     one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord shall enter into the kingdom of
     heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
     Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied
     in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name
     done many wonderful works?  And then will I profess unto them, I
     never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity".
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
          Another argument is that Jesus went out and mingled with
     sinners.  However, the Lord Jesus never went into a den of iniquity
     nor did He copy the ways of the ungodly.  "For such a high priest
     became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners,
     and made higher than the heavens;"  (Heb 7:26).  "I have given them
     thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the
     world, even as I am not of the world"  (John 17:14).
 
        - Do we take drugs to win addicts to Christ?
 
        - Do we use foul language to witness to those who curse?
 
        - Do we steal to identify with robbers?
 
        - Do we draw lewd pictures to present Christ to the pornographer?
 
        - Do we use carnal music to gain a hearing with the world?
 
     The absurdity of the above methods is obvious.  Therefore, we hope you
     can see how wrong it is to use carnal, worldly music to present a
     holy message to a Christless world.
 
                   "...Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that
                   which is good"  (Rom 12:9).
 
                   "They profess that they know God; but in
                   works they deny Him, being abominable, and
                   disobedient, and unto every good work
                   reprobate"  (Titus 1:16).
 
         "Christian" Rock is destructive to the Church as it leads God's
     people into sensuality, compromise, and worldliness.  If you sincerely
     love the Lord Jesus Christ and you are involved with this godless
     music, then why won't you obey the Lord and forsake this unclean thing???
          What kind of hold does religious rock have on people when they
     refuse to give up their demonic music?  How can a person profess that
     he loves God and at the same time embrace such evil?   How low must
     religious rock sink before God's people wake up from their slumber?
 
     "But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through
     his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity
     that is in Christ.  For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus,
     whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye
     have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye
     might well bear with him....For such are false apostles, deceitful
     workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.  And no
     marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
     Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed
     as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to
     their works"  (2 Cor 11:3,4,13-15).
 
     "For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old
     ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our
     God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord
     Jesus Christ....Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh,
     despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities....Woe unto them! for
     they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error
     of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Korah.  These
     are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you,
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
     feeding themselves without fear; clouds they are without water,
     carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit,
     twice dead, plucked up by the roots; raging waves of the sea, foaming
     out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the
     blackness of darkness for ever"  (Jude 4,8,11-13).
 
 
 
 
                             CONCLUSION
 
      "For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you
      even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ:
      Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory
      is in their shame, who mind earthly things" (Phil 3:18,19).
 
 
      "Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have
      used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips: Whose mouth is
      full of cursing and bitterness: Their feet are swift to shed blood:
      Destruction and misery are in their ways: And the way of peace have
      they not known: There is no fear of God before their eyes" (Rom
      3:13-18).
 
           When music has any of the following characteristics beware;
      you are in danger of the demonic:
 
           1)  Deliberate Sensuality:  This includes sexual clothing,
           erotic movements, flirtatious come-on's designed to sexually
           tease, and breathy voice designed to arouse an audience.
 
           2)  Clothes that are not in line with Biblical modesty:  This
           includes sexual, revealing clothes that suggest an unholy
           lifestyle.
 
           3)  Unedifying speech:  This includes stories, jokes, or
           lyrics which have double meanings or have sexual overtones.
 
           4)  Extremely loud music:  Thunderous decibel levels that
           impair hearing and drown out lyrics .
 
 
           This booklet closes on a note of sadness.  We mourn over the
      tragedy of the loss of discernment among the body of Christ.  We
      have shown how this evil music has gradually infiltrated the church
      with the blessing of those in authority, until many congregations
      no longer know the difference between the sacred and the profane.
      We have shown throughout the history of secular rock and roll the
      decline and destruction of values of decency and morality in
      society.  Will the church partake of this same downward slide?
      Will the church abandon its role of salt and light and put on the
      same garments of darkness and sensuality that the world wraps
      itself in?  The unsaved are desperately hoping to see something
      different in Christianity.  When a Christian lowers his standards
      and walks arm in arm with the lost down the same broad road, the
      unsaved can only laugh and sneer at the hypocrisy of it all.  The
      fact that millions are perishing in hell should cause us to examine
      our walk and methods of evangelism.  We have nothing but love in
      our hearts toward those who sincerely want to reach a lost
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
      generation for the Lord Jesus Christ.  However, when Christians
      seek to be conformed to this evil world rather than to God's
      standards of righteousness and holiness, it is a cause of deep
      concern.  Consequently, we have endeavoured through this study to
      offer a brotherly reproof to those whom we feel have been misled.
      We ask only that the reader prayerfully consider the scriptures,
      the information, and the arguments in the text.  Our prayer is that
      God would lead you out of the mud and filth of this world into a
      deeper walk with Himself through Jesus Christ our Lord.
