  1. Music

  2. Review: Week 1 • Music is a “hot button” with many Christians today. • Music is becoming a “personal god.” • Music invades our culture in ways never known to mankind. • Music is a very Biblical matter. God has tons to say about music.

  3. Review: Week 2 • Music is the gauge by which you can determine what the world is pursuing. • Amoral-“being neither moral nor immoral” (Webster Dictionary) • Many people believe that music is amoral (neutral) (non-emotional). “The sound doesn’t effect me, just the lyrics.” • This is where CCM supporters go wrong. They believe that music is neutral and that the lyrics justify the worldly music style. • Proof: Practically, Worldly, Biblically

  4. Review: Week 3 • Many Rock artists emphasize and build music around the rhythm. • Satan’s Mission: To exalt himself above God. • Many Christians don’t really believe that the devil is real. • 2 Cor. 11:14-15

  5. Satan wants to pervert music! GOD “Satan is one of the chief promoters of Christian Music”

  6. Week 4 review • There is nothing wrong with new… • …however it is wrong when it disobeys God’s commandments in the Bible. • CCMers disobeys God’s commandment on separation. • “Music always produces a lifestyle” • CCM is diluting Biblical Christianity! • Rom 12:2; Gal. 1:10; 1 Pet. 1:14-16; Jam 4:4; 1Jh. 2:15-16

  9. Bible Filtering Passage Galatians 5:16-25

  10. Passage Explained: • V.16- “…walk in the Spirit…” • Walk-“continuous action; progress; lifestyle” • Spirit-God’s means to communicate, convict, convince, comfort, and control born again believers. • Fulfill- “perform, complete” • Lust- “desire, cravings” • Flesh-“mind, emotions, and will which are subject to sin.”

  11. Passage Explained: • V. 17-“flesh lusteth against the Spirit…” • Lusteth-“desires, cravings, longings” • Flesh longs to please self. • Spirit longs to please God. • Contrary- “to lie opposite; oppose” • V.18- “…be led of the Spirit…” • Led- “controlled; guided by; submitted to” • Law- “a godly life is not lived under a set of rules, but by Holy Spirit control.”

  12. Passage Explained: • V.19-21- Characteristics of the Flesh. • Manifest- “displayed, obvious, public, known” • V. 22-23- Characteristics of the Spirit. • V. 24- “…have crucified the flesh…” • They that are Christ’s-Born-again Believers • Have crucified-“put off; death; die to self” • With the affections and lusts-“passions and longings for sin/flesh.”

  13. Walking/ Living in the Spirit is a COMMAND from God’s Word! Therefore, everything you…do, say, watch, read, and LISTEN to… must encourage you to “walk in the Spirit.”

  14. Biblical Love? Joy (happiness/ glad)? Peace (inner calm that comes from having a relationship with God)? Longsuffering (Patience)? Gentleness (Kindness)? Goodness (moral excellence)? Faith (loyal; trustworthy)? Meekness (humility)? Self-Control (restrains passions)? Does your music encourage…

  15. Gal. 5:19-23 is our Filter • Question… • Does the song/ group you listen to promote the works of the flesh or the fruits of the Spirit??? • Let’s put some songs to the test!

  16. Jonas Brothers: Burnin’ Up • I'm hot, you're coldYou go around like you knowWho I am, but you don'tYou got me on my toesChorus:I'm slippin' into the lavaAnd I'm trying' to keep from going underBaby, you turn the temperature hotterAnd I'm burning up, burning up for you babyI fell (I fell) So fast (so fast)I can't hold myselfBack High heels (high heels),Red dress (red dress)All by yourself, gotta catch my breath How does this song help you grow Spiritually? Turn to 1 Cor. 7:8-9

  17. Fergie: Big Girls Don’t Cry • The smell of your skin lingers on me nowYou're probably on your flight back to your home townI need some shelter of my own protection babyTo be with myself and center, clarityPeace, Serenity[CHORUS:]I hope you know, I hope you knowThat this has nothing to do with youIt's personal, myself and IWe've got some straightenin' out to doAnd I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanketBut I've got to get a move on with my lifeIt's time to be a big girl nowAnd big girls don't cryDon't cryDon't cryDon't cry Which “works of the flesh” is Fergie promoting to you in this song? Fornication; Uncleanness; Lasciviousness

  18. Stripped and polished, I am new, I am fresh I am feeling so ambitious, you and me, flesh to flesh Cause every breath that you will take when you are sitting next to me will bring life into my deepest hopes, What's your fantasy? (What's your, what's your, what's your...)[Chorus] Cause I was born to tell you I love you and I am torn to do what I have to, to make you mine Stay with me tonight Secondhand Serenade: Your Call What “works of the flesh” is he singing to you? Adultery; Fornication; Uncleanness, etc.

  19. Secondhand Serenade: Fall For You • So breathe in so deepBreathe me inI'm yours to keepAnd hold onto your words'Cause talk is cheapAnd remember me tonightWhen you're asleepBecause tonight will be the night that I will fall for youOver againDon't make me change my mindOr I won't live to see another dayI swear it's trueBecause a girl like you is impossible to find What about this song? Please Turn to Heb.13:4-5

  20. Every week's the same Stuck in school's so lame My parents say that I'm lazy Gettin' up at 8am's crazy Tired of bein' told what to do So unfair, so uncool The day's too long And I'm holding on Til I hear the bell ring 'Cause that's the time when we're gonna (time when we're gonna) To let go oh oh (go oh oh) Breakout Let the party start We're gonna stay out Gonna break some hearts We're gonna dance Til the dance floor falls apart Uh oh, all over again We're gonna wake up Everyone we know We're gonna have some fun Gonna lose control It feels so good To let go oh oh (go oh oh) Hangin' out's Just somethin' we like to do My friends and the mess we get into These are the lessons that we choose Not a book full of things we'll never use Miley Cyrus: Breakout Which “fruits of the Spirit” is Miley promoting?

  21. Question: • If these people, Jonas Brothers, Fergie, Secondhand Serenade, Miley Cyrus, promote this kind of fleshly lifestyle do you think their other songs will too? • What about the other groups/ songs you listen to? THINK! • Please turn to Galatians 6:7-8 • Please turn to Isaiah 3:9-12

  22. Quote “If any song, Christian or otherwise, does not display these fruits, then perhaps that music is not right for a Christian to listen to or perform.” Pastor Matt Walker

  23. Closing thoughts: • If you are bored with “biblical, God honoring music” its not because the music is boring its because you have a heart problem! • If you are truly walking in the Spirit you will WANT to listen and sing God honoring, Spirit filled music!

  24. Conclusion: • All music will either endorse the works of the flesh or the fruits of the Spirit. • In order to be in obedience to Gal. 5 if any of your music endorses any one of the works of the flesh it must be avoided. • Next Week (Topic, Questions)
