  8. Music is a vital part of spiritual life and Hope Channel programming. “My Story, My Song” – newest music program

  9. Church music and worship style – Adventism’s hottest issue today!

  10. Factors contributing to the discussion: • Our success in evangelism – growth in the church • Greater diversity • Increased national leadership – more local culture • Greater communication – “global village” • Cultural differences – language and music expresses culture • Fear of Globalization leads to defense of local culture (security) • Local cultural changes – youth seek their own identity • Fear of syncretism and concern for identity – influence of other religions • Personal preferences interpreted as divine standards

  11. “Our people love the sounds of drums, but they don’t like the sight of drums!” Rhythm and drums is okay on a tape or CD, or in an orchestra, but don’t show a drum in church…!!!???

  12. Diversity of Music around the Adventist World! • India • Cameroun • South America • Russia • Philippines • Diversity of western music – Classical, Gospel, Country, Western, Southern Gospel, Blues, Jazz, Contemporary, Praise and Worship, Rock etc…. • Etc

  13. Significant scriptural factors: Revelation 12:19 Isaiah 8:20 Matthew 7:16-20 Our lifestyle choices should be evaluated on how does it influence us; where does it lead us spiritually?

  14. What is the “Mark of the Beast” issue: • Its future – preparation is taking place now • It’s the culmination of the Great Controversy • Ezekiel 28:12-19 • Isaiah 14:12-15 -

  15. The heart of the M/B issue is: • Exaltation of human authority over divine authority. • Following “my way” rather than God’s way. • Independence rather than dependence • Naturally, we all want to be “little popes”.

  16. What is the “seal of God”? Ministry of the Holy Spirit: • John 14:16,17,26; 15:26; 16:7,8,13 • To teach of Jesus; “comforter”, brings peace to our hearts; convict of sin, righteousness, a sense of accountability; teaches truth. • Romans 8:5-17 “led by the Spirit”

  17. “Sealing the Law” means that God’s will is supreme in my life in every area of my life. The Sabbath is God’s seal: Name, Title, Territory

  18. Lessons from the “Holy Flesh” movement: “I’m holy; my emotions are holy; I cannot sin; my so called ‘sanctified’ feelings are my supreme guide.”

  19. Today – the world exalts “human authority”. • Existentialism • Hedonism • Eastern religions – mediation – “looking in” • Pentacostalism – Charismatic movement • Catholicism

  20. God’s invitation: • “Give me your heart” • Stop thinking and acting like you are a little pope. • Surrender “all” to me • Give your entire loyalty to Me.
