Testing Music in the Church - DVD 1

Testing Music in the Church - DVD 1 by Sandy Simpson This DVD is a message based on these articles: Testing Music In The Church - http://www.deceptioninthechurch.com/testingmusic.html Testing Music In The Church-Part 2 - http://www.deceptioninthechurch.com/testingmusic2.html Worship Song Ratings - http://www.deceptioninthechurch.com/worshipsongratings.html Too many churches today are allowing music to be used in their services that is not glorifying to the Lord and can actually be a hindrance to the teaching of sound doctrine. Pastors and leaders should be using their leadership role to test what is being played and sung in their churches. Though some are quick to test preaching and teaching from their pulpits, many ignore the music being used in the same services. This is a tragic mistake. Music is a powerful medium. It is something that effects deeply the body, mind, and emotions. It is a proven fact that music often stays with a person far longer than what is taught or preached. Songs roam around in our heads, especially if the melody appeals to us. What is often overlooked is the serious impression music makes on people, and the teaching they are getting over and over again as they allow the song to repeat in their minds and on their lips. Music teaches things much more subtly yet sometimes far more effectively. That's why the lyrical content of music in the church, as well as its effect on the spiritual lives of those who perform and listen, should be vigorously examined by the leaders of the church. This is a 2-DVD set.
