The victory is not merely “keeping the hymnal.” The victory is in proper, ongoing education for the entire assembly. Tradition and ignorance will not do.
The Satanic Attack on Sacred Music consists of a textbook and a video series with about 18 hours of teaching, packed with photos, graphics, audio and video clips. One previewer commented, “The series is broad and deep with serious factual analysis according to properly interpreted Scripture.”
We study the Bible’s most important teachings on the issue of music.
We look at the amazing changes that are happening among fundamental Baptists and the role of contemporary music in these changes.
We learn about the following dangers represented by Contemporary Christian Music: the Pentecostal/charismatic movement, the ecumenical movement, theological liberalism, Evangelicalism, the Emerging Church, modern Bible versions, contemplative prayer, cultural liberalism, the encyclopedic view of the Bible, the New Reformed Calvinism, the Jesus People movement, theistic evolution, homosexual Christianity, the downgrade in hell, secular rock, Matt Maher the Roman Catholic apostle of unity, Hillsong, Rick Warren, The Shack, C.S. Lewis, and Chuck Swindoll’s heretical doctrine of grace. We show that these things are not “out there” somewhere; they are a very near danger to every church.
We consider the soft style of Christian music vs. the more militant style. We learn how to discern the elements of the worldly sound in contemporary music.
We learn how to discern soft rock.
We learn how chords are used in contemporary music to create an unresolving sound and “feel.”
We examine vocal singing styles that have been borrowed from secular music (scooping and sliding, improvisation, breathy, vocal fry).
We consider why contemporary music always transforms churches.
We document the great change in music philosophy at Bob Jones University and Majesty Music.
We document the influence wielded by the Gettys and Getty/Townend music as a bridge from old-fashioned Bible-believing churches to the world of contemporary music and the “broader church,” including Roman Catholicism.
We document the major role that Lancaster Baptist Church of Lancaster, California (West Coast Baptist College) is having in the move from fundamentalism to contemporary. We give evidence of the many contemporary-style churches that are being founded by West Coast graduates and close Lancaster associates.
We show that conservative evangelicals are not safe partners. We document how that the Southern Baptist Convention is more corrupt than ever.
We examine the great changes in Southern Gospel today.
We consider why we should be concerned about “little” changes in music.
We show that trying to deal with the music issue alone won’t work well; it won’t save the church from apostasy. Unless we have spiritual churches and spiritual homes, the battle is already lost.
We look at the role of good congregational singing in protecting a church from CCM.
The course includes a book that contains the entire text of the videos plus much more material. one section of the book contains a detailed study of every major passage in the bible on the subject of music. Anther section is a song leading training course.
The course includes review questions and tests.
