False Christian teachings, trends….
The Christian song in this post is based on a William Cowper poem. From the video narrative: “Cowper became close friends with the Evangelical clergyman John Newton; together they co-authored the Olney Hymns, which was first published in 1779 and included Newton’s famous hymn “Amazing Grace.” Of the 68 hymns Cowper wrote, “Oh for a closer walk with God” and “God moves in a mysterious way” are the most well known.”
The Christian music in this post is based on Revlation 3:10-13; and Isaiah 41:10. Much Christian music these days is based on the opinions of the artists and not on real Bible verses. God the Holy Spirit saves people via scripture, not opinions of man. Also, if you use Christian music to stir up your heart for Bible study or personal worship, then hearing scripture as you listen has to be more spiritually beneficial. Additionally, if you grew up listening to rock music from the baby boomer generation, then you will like the music in this video.
In December, Amy Grant became the first Contemporary Christian Musician to receive an artistic achievement award from the White House. A few days later, she reportedly hosted her niece’s same-sex marriage — such support of LGBTQ is likely what qualified her to be the first artist in CCM to receive such an “honor.” Numerous other CCM artists are identified as supporting this unbiblical movement. “Professing Christians who lust for sex, money and the world’s approval will show what they truly worship.” Be discerning and do not get caught up in this apostasy….
The 5-minute video of this post is the 23rd Psalm sung by Aileen Gilchrist. I linked this playlist, from the YouTube site, Christian Sermons and Audio Books, it has 10 other videos which are apparently the most popular videos on his site; that list includes music and sermons.
This post contains two versions of the song, “I must tell Jesus all of my trials….” My next post is about the Lord’s prayer and I thought about this song, which I find to be a great encouragement towards prayer. I purchased the song after hearing it on Family Radio a few times because I thought it such a wonderful encouragement to pray, hopefully you will find it useful
This Michael Joncas song is based on part of the following verse: Jeremiah 31:3 the LORD appeared to hima from far away. I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore I have continued my faithfulness to you. This chapter is filled with love and hope which the Lord planned to give them when He brought them back to their land, after they have endured the suffering of exile for 70 years for their great sins. This song is being posted as an example of biblically inspired Christian music that is performed reverently, such that it inspires towards godliness
This post contains two songs composed by Michael Joncas, On Eagle’s Wings, and Shelter Me. The latter was recently written for aid during the Covid-19 pandemic. Spiritu performed Shelter Me and their video appears like a zoom conference. I love Michael Joncas’s song writing because it is rich with scripture words and concepts and it is always performed in a reverent manner, inspiring godliness; since there are so many Christian musicians out there today that write secular lyrics, I am presenting these songs as a biblical alternative to aid in worship
This post contains a 30 minute video by Good Fight Ministries about a correct focus for Christians at this time; as he provides that, he discusses wrongheaded perspectives held by many; increasing depression numbers and the sources of that, and more; highlight points are given for the initial half of the Good Fight Ministry video; a song follows the news video, the song helps provide a healthy perspective for this time in history; then a bonus video appeared as I posted Good Fight Ministry’s links, it is one of their series on Bethel church
From Rich Moore: I am a singer, guitarist, and songwriter. This is a new original contemporary Christian song I recently wrote and recorded which will be on my soon to be released album. May those who listen find it a great blessing, to the glory of the Lord Jesus Christ, in these last days…praise God. (Music and video owned and copyrighted by Rich Moore Music)
Hillsong Music is used as a gateway to bring people into Hillsong churches and Hillsong theology. In this video, I repeat some of the analysis on Hillsong Worship which has previously been provided by Justin Peters, Cameron Buettel and Jeremiah Johnson. Polite Leader also supplied a dozen other links to videos on false preachers.
