Contemporary Christian Music's Euphoric Deadend

John 4:22, “Ye worship ye know not what...”

       You are hearing a brief clip from the K LOVE online radio station, which is broadcast from Winchester, Indiana. This is one lame example of how they falsely claim that music changes people's lives. What a pathetic joke! They claim that songs put melodies in your head that make you love, and then that love changes lives. That's NOT God's method of getting people saved!

The truth is that CCM music inoculates listeners to the truth, keeping them from the King James Bible. Notice in the MP3 clip from K LOVE that they're promoting the ecumenical message of love, love, love. Satan's love these love pushers who totally abandon the doctrine of Christ.

Ecumenical means joining together  and sharing a common faith in Christ, laying aside all doctrinal and moral issues. Ecumenicals spout about love everywhere they go, and teach that doctrinal differences shouldn't be argued over. They're wrong! 

Titus 1:10-11 and 13-14, “For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision: Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake. ... This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith; Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth.”

To rebuke them “sharply” means with Biblical authority. K LOVE is wishy-washy, failing to stress the importance of separating over doctrinal differences. Bible-believing Christians ought not have anything to do with unsaved Roman Catholics who corrupt the plan of salvation with the sacraments and good works. Apostates will contend that you must yoke together with Catholics if they're ever going to be saved. That's totally against what God says to do. The Bible commands in 2nd Corinthians 6:14-17 to separate from unbelievers. It's a sin for Christians to yoke together with the unsaved for marriage, business, religious crusades, et cetera. At Billy Graham's crusades, when Catholics come forward they are sent to Catholics to be dealt with. God absolutely HATES that kind of wickedness!!! Billy Graham is a spiritual fraud, sold out to the Devil's cause!

Contemporary secular music has a euphoric effect (exaggerated feelings of joy and pride). Euphoria is an exhilarating psychological state of pride and optimism; an absence of depression. This is even what Contemporary Christian Music (CCM) radio stations advertise, that is, music that is positive, encouraging and uplifting.

K LOVE is watered-down, lame and is only out to make a buck. The doctrine of Christ doesn't matter to them. Ecumenicals don't want to offend others, so they compromise. Again, Contemporary secular music has a euphoric effect (exaggerated feelings of joy and pride). Euphoria is an exhilarating psychological state of pride and optimism; an absence of depression. This is even what Contemporary Christian Music (CCM) radio stations advertise, that is, music that is positive, encouraging and uplifting.

The problem is that reality must include negatives, hardships and depression. That's why I love good ole Bible-preaching, that is, because it hits home where the rubber meets the road. Preaching is down-to-earth and practical, applicable to one's life. CCM takes you high like a mind-drug, producing feelings of elation that a bigger-than-life attitude. It's an empty feeling, not able to find fulfillment. This same euphoric effect is caused by Rock music, which oftentimes leads to depression, even suicide is some cases (because reality cannot live up to the euphoria created by the music itself). It's not the lyrics; but rather, it's the music itself. CCM induces a sinful spirit of self, pride and false joy that's based in secular music and not the Word of God.

If yo9u're honest with yourself, then you know what I'm talking about. When you listen to Contemporary Christian Music (CCM), it's like you're looking for something to grab onto but it's just not there. The music leaves you feeling unsatisfied like something is missing. This is especially true if you are lonely, have marriage problems or things just aren't going right. These people are making a buck, touring around the world, selling albums and concerts. They don't care about you nor any of their fans. And if they do seem to care here and there, it's only as a publicity stunt or to make themselves feel better about their apostasy. Ladies and gentleman the world is going to Hell without Christ. The Gospel won't get preached unless there is a preacher. This is exactly what Romans 10:14 teaches. Singing doesn't get people saved!!!

I detest the K LOVE Christian online radio station which broadcasts from Winchester, Indiana. They play all the latest apostate CCM garbage. They often brag about how listeners call in and testify how the music changed their life. Then they praise God for the changed lives. The pathetic truth is that NO ONE'S LIFE IS BEING CHANGED for God. Music doesn't change a person's doctrine's. Music doesn't present the Gospel.

The lyrics are so lame that you couldn't gather enough meaningful information to form a single Bible verse in 3 hours worth of radio time. It's a sad joke! The euphoric atmosphere created by the music leaves the listener without direction or guidance. I've tried to listen to their radio station, but I eventually feel compelled to turn it off and put on some preaching. When I hear preaching I'm learning something.

After I hear a red-hot sermon, there's something I can do about it to change my life; but I can't do anything after hear music by today's CCM apostates: Kutless, Chris Tomlin, Jason Gray, Matthew West, TobyMac, Citizen Way, Third Day, Chris August, Kari Jobe, Amy Grant, Newsboys, Mandisa, Big Daddy Weave, David Crowder Band, Sidewalk Prophets, Tenth Avenue North and Michael W. Smith (just to name a few). Many of these bands are hellbound Roman Catholic. NONE of them preach the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. They're all part of a greedy occult-owned industry that's sold out to the New World Order (evidenced by the occult symbolism on many albums).

CCM will bring you high and reach for the stars in your mind while the world goes to Hell. CCM is for selfish people. There's a Southern Baptist church down the street from me that is into K-LOVE's type of music and has a band in church. They have no soul-winning program. They have no outreach ministries. When they meet it's for a quick personal Bible study and then they jam. They never take the Gospel to the lost. It's us-four-and-no-more. The senior pastor wears blue jeans while giving a sermonette to his congregation. Most of the women are wearing pants in the church, swaying side-to-side with their hands in the air during music.

Since God doesn't change anybody's life through music, ecumenical apostate groups like K LOVE desperately grasp for straws to find any bozo who will say that music saved their life.
