*"MAN-MADE GODS"* (II)
_Key Bible Text:_
*"If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land: But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it."* (Isaiah 1:19-20 (KJV))
_Bible Insight:_
In certain conversations with some of these instrumentalists, it became clear to me that they are the new idols in church. One said he plays better whenever he finds out the ladies are staring. This is not uncommon at all. Rather than being immersed in the praise of God, their focus is on how to woo the opposite sex with their dexterity. A very shameful mindset.
The reason why works of the flesh are rife among church musicians is because they are mostly about the music in church. Outside a devotion to God's word, music is purely soulish and sensual. It takes the gospel to add bible type spirituality to our music.
If you're a musician in church and you test positive on these points, you have been ruined. You can leave that inglorious path today. Are you even saved? Have you believed in Christ, acknowledging what He's done for you? If yes, it's time to take your spiritual growth seriously.
Church is not showbiz! Start attending first as a believer - with a readiness to learn. Find a church where God's word is well taught and you're trained to serve the Lord. This doesn't have to meet you well, but it has the power to make you well. If you're a Pastor, don't add to this rot in the body. Train everyone the same way without sparing the instrumentalists. Disciple them properly and rigorously. They must learn how to study, pray, and evangelise.
_MEDITATION:_
*"Years after meeting my first instructor, I now serve as a Pastor of a local church. Imagine if I had taken that advice? My motives and appetites would have been corrupted so much that I wouldn't be able to commit to real growth, let alone, discover ministry. Imagine how many ministry gifts have been buried in the church music hustle? Heaven knows!"*
