The winner is still standing on a pile of dirt in the middle of an insignificant childish battleground and everyone’s nose is bloody and all eyes are black… …including Christ’s. Music is a language, music produce to it’s listeners emotions that speak louder than the lyrics. Leading figures in this seemingly loosely organized movement claim that these prophets and apostles alone have the power and authority to execute God’s plans and purposes on earth. Some may be militant and malicious. 2:14-16; 1 Cor. A very detailed picture of the end result of this “decisional regeneration” is found in Matt. The concepts culture and the world we live in are adopting and embracing are promoting a worldview contrary to the one taught in the Bible. 2:24-26.  More often than not CCM is unbiblical, even blasphemous!

That worldview is both monistic and mystic. So discerning truth from error and making judgment calls on the issues of our times (1Chron.12:23), isn’t an option for believers. But after reading through much of this sparing match, I felt moved of God to offer what I trust will be some Biblical wisdom. For those who put faith in the prayer they prayed the question is: how long did it last? Anyone?”. (Or, maybe the better question is, “Doesn’t that just about define who the Body of Christ really is and who is really AWOL in their thinking or lost altogether”)? It is the Home Church of the band Jesus Culture, and the spearhead of what is called the New Apostolic Reformation, which is a cultic movement. Accelerate – some sort of divine acceleration process, which like everything else in this list is going … CCM artists don’t get a free pass, just because they’re rich or famous; or because they’ve mastered the art of stroking our emotions with their romanticization of lofty Christian concepts.
