When the world talks about “diversity,” they are telling us to
tolerate the sins of homosexuality, witchcraft and abortion. Evidence of
this fact is that no mainstream CCM singer exposes such public wickedness.
The Homosexual Agenda is morally reprehensible and a sin unto God (Romans
1:24-32). Instead of speaking out as Bible-believing, God-fearing Christians
against homosexuality; the Newsboys
look like homosexuals. Ephesians
5:11 commands us to, “have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of
darkness, but rather reprove [Greek: elencho, “to expose”] them.” The Devil is a liar... when his
children speak of diversity, they really mean sinful compromise.
I don't advocate being unkind to anyone, but
homosexuality is a sin that should not be taught to public school children
as being “normal.” Medical clinics are now beginning to treat homophobia as
a mental illness, to cure those Bible-believing Christians; while helping
homosexuals to embrace their mental illness and spiritual wickedness as
normal and acceptable. God calls it an
abomination (Leviticus 20:13). Homosexuality is VERY ABNORMAL and a violation
of God's Holy Word.
"TobyMac wants to start a revolution, one that will sweep through cities
and erase the divisive lines that keep people and cultures apart."[1]
The Bible teaches the exact opposite, God
segregated mankind...
"Therefore is the name of it
called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the
earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all
the earth." —Genesis 11:19
Acts 17:26,27 tells us why God scattered
mankind...
"And hath made of one blood all
nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath
determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;
That they should seek the Lord..."
The very essence of the demonic New World Order
is to unite. In order for the Antichrist to appear, the world must be
ready to receive him. This means that the world's religions need to be under
the control of one governing body. This is what the Ecumenical Movement is
all about. When
Pope John Paul II died, the religions of the world came together and praised
him. I say sadly, the Pope is burning in the fires and torments of Hell. How
do I know? It's because he followed the
manmade traditions of Catholicism instead of the Word of God, which
teaches salvation solely by faith in Jesus Christ.
Jesus said He came to SEPARATE us, because the
truth divides. The truth divides families, it divides churches, et cetera.
"Think not
that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a
sword. For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and
the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother
in law. And a man's foes shall be they of his own household. He
that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that
loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. And he that
taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me." —Matthew
10:34-38
Jesus simply meant
that when you live for God, the world will give you up. Oftentimes it
is our own families who will give us up.
CCM is Building a Sinful
Bridge to Yoke All Religions into One
Look at the three men in the
photo to the left. What do you see? If you didn't know that these
are three members of the band Third Day, you'd think they were hit men
or the villains from Superman. What's with the funeral looking clothing? At
least the BeeGees smiled on their albums.
Young people aren't coming to Christ, they're coming to
music, which is more tempting to the flesh than candy is to a baby. Christian
Rock is no more Christian than “Christian porno.” God's Holy Spirit NEVER
leads us to go contrary to the Bible. God calls Rock music his “enemy” (James 4:4). This
world hates Jesus Christ. Third Day are a bunch of deceivers, masquerading
as Christians who love the Lord; but their AGENDA
is to unite different denominations together under one roof, which means
yoking together with unbelieving Catholics in an unholy alliance, which God
forbids (2nd Corinthians 6:14-17).
I am very hated for exposing CCM, but someone
needs to do it. Although the music itself it beautiful, much of it; the
problem is that the people who are singing, promoting, selling and producing
CCM are apostates, all using corrupt Bibles, all doctrinally compromised as
a result. You cannot use a corrupt Bible without being corrupted. Satan
knows this better than anyone, who deceived Eve by twisting around what God
said (Genesis 3:1). There's nothing new under the sun. The Devil operates
the same rotten way today as he did 6,000 years ago, by deceit and subtlety
(2nd Corinthians 11:3). As I said, people are NOT coming to Christ, they are
coming to music; and consequently being led into apostasy by the lame,
Ecumenical, watered-down, apostate message of the CCM performers.
HUNDREDS-OF-MILLIONS of people
(fans) are coming to CCM for the music; but they are not being taught the
Doctrine of Christ (2nd John 1:9), nor true Biblical salvation without works
of self-righteousness (Romans 4:5). There are multitudes of people who will
never know anything more about THE TRUTH, than what CCM leads them to
believe; and that is the scary part, because CCM isn't teaching them THE
TRUTH. Instead of telling them how to be saved from the Bible; CCM singers
twist the lyrics, watering everything down, making nonsense.
They do the same thing as
Bernie Taupin (a
witch who collaborated with Elton John to write his lyrics). The key
characteristic of witchcraft music is to jumble the words so they
they don't make sense when you read them; but they put messages into your
head as you listen to the music. Mannford Mann, Fleetwood Mac, The Beatles,
Elton John, even The Beach Boys
believe it or not. The Beach Boys didn't do so hot at making witchcraft
music, as it didn't really fit the style; but The Rolling Stones, The Doors,
Blue Oyster Cult, The Eagles, and hundreds more did succeed greatly.
Hotel California is pure witchcraft, praising the coming
Antichrist (Beast). It is a tributary song to the Church of Satan; and
moreover, a song of praise for the Beast. Rock 'N' Roll is all about blasphemy against the holy God of
the Bible—promoting substance abuse, Satanism, insanity, fornication,
suicide, freakishness, Communism, witchcraft, occultism, hatred and
homosexuality. Hotel California is a tribute song to the Church of
Satan; but moreover, it's a Satanic offering to the coming Antichrist, THE
BEAST, who will be empowered by the Dragon, the Devil (Revelation 13:2).
The CCM singers, sadly, and apostates like
Rick Warren (CFR member) are the
only connection that some people will ever have to God; but they're being
led into the apostate Ecumenical Movement instead, away from the God of the
Bible, to worship the Beast. All ecumenical false prophets are using
corrupted modern Bibles that completely butcher the Bible. For example: The
New International Version [ NIV] removes the words: Godhead,
Calvary, fornication, trucebreakers, winebibbers,
carnal, slothful, unthankful, effeminate, backbiting, vanity, lasciviousness,
whoredom, devils, Lucifer, damnation, brimstone, bottomless pit, regeneration, mercyseat, Calvary, remission, Jehovah, immutable, omnipotent,
Comforter, Holy Ghost, Messiah, quickened, infallible, and propitiation.
How sad and evil.
If you are coming out of a life of worldliness
and sin, and have decided to give your life to Jesus because you heard some
CCM band, you will never rise above apostates like
Rick Warren and
Max Lucado. And you will go to
Hell as Judas did, who gave his life to Jesus as one of His very Apostles.
You had better get born-again (John 3:1-5) by the Spirit of God (Romans
8:9), by the Seed of God's Word (1st Peter 1:23). We are saved by faith
alone in Christ Jesus (Galatians 3:26). ALL CCM bands and singers will NOT
tell you that salvation is without works of self-righteousness, to avoid
offending their Catholic fans. Catholics have lots of money, which is why
Jack Van Impe dipped his
sails and started praising the Pope to gain Catholic supporters. It is
apostasy!
Psalms:12:1, “Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from
among the children of men.”
Max Lucado is a Church of Christ
Deceiver!
Max Lucado is hiding the fact that he is a
demonic Church of Christ minister...
Recently, his church,
which has some 5,000 members, even changed its name from "Oak Hills
Church of Christ" to simply "Oak Hills Church."
As a result of
Lucado's deception, naive churchgoers have embraced Mr. Lucado's heresies...
Christians of all
denominations have embraced Lucado's work. He has written more than 50
books — with more than 39 million in print — including his latest,
"Come Thirsty," (W Publishing Group) which came out last year.

http://www.bpnews.net/bpnews.asp?ID=20752
Max Lucado's teachings are dangerous. Lucado was a speaker at the 1995
Christian Booksellers Association (CBA) Convention. Lucado gave a call to unity among Christians across
denominational lines. Likening Christians to sailors on the same boat with
“one captain” and “one destination,” Lucado urged acceptance between
Protestants and Catholics, Baptists, and Presbyterians (Reported in the
12/95, Fundamentalist Digest).
Luke 6:26,
“Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to
the false prophets.”
Satan: The Master Deceiver!
CCM leads people into religion; but NOT to the
Truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Just because CCM
employs Biblical terms and phrases here and there is NOT sufficient. We see
SATAN QUOTING SCRIPTURES to Eve in Genesis 3:1. We see SATAN QUOTING
SCRIPTURES TO JESUS in Matthew 4:6. So what if Third Day utilizes
some Biblical terms and phrases, so did Satan to Eve and Jesus! In fact,
Satan is still quoting and misquoting Scriptures today—through
CCM, false bibles, and false prophets.
Again, I ask you to look at ANY popular CCM artist's website, and show
me a Gospel presentation. For CCM fans to claim that the Gospel
message is in the music is absurd. If all a person has was Third Day's I
feel like I've been born-again lyrics, they'd go straight to Hell when then
die. Being Biblically born-again is not a “feeling.” Someone needs to
explain that to lead singer of Third Day, Mac Powell. He is
wrongly sending the message that there's no such thing as being born-again,
it's only a “feeling.” Let me tell you my friend, I don't feel, I KNOW
(see 1st John 5:13 in a King James Bible), that I am born-again!!! You can
know, beyond any shadow of a doubt. Why? Because salvation is rooted in the
promises of God; and not in the faithfulness of men. If you believe on the
Son of God, Jesus Christ, to forgive your sins, then you are saved (John
20:31).
CCM is a DEAD-END! Worldly young people aren't coming to Christ, but to
worldly music. And
that's as far as they'll ever get. The lost world needs the Truth.
Every unsaved Catholic
has no problem listening to the music of Third Day, MercyMe, tobyMac,
Point of Grace, dc Talk, Michael W. Smith, et cetera. They're not coming to Jesus Christ to get saved. The fans are praising the band
members
(John 12:43). The fans are making the band and their producers rich. Truly,
the world has gone into apostasy and Satan is greatly pleased with CCM.
Satan's Servants of the New World Order
It's
ironic that secular Heavy Metal bands, like MEGADETH, sing
about the New World Order (see the song, Endgame, on the album, ENDGAME, 2009); while CCM artists wander as blind men in the dark,
grasping for the truth.
Third Day's latest album,
Offerings, which
recently went Gold, is all praise and worship. Family Christian Stores
recently sat down with lead singer, Mac Powell, to discuss the album, the
meaning of worship and his work with new band called, Forty Days...
"Also another thing that
God's been teaching me is the unity of the body of Christ. He really wants us
to join together. He says, "Just as I have loved you, you must love one
another." So it's time that we tear down denominational walls and time that we
tear down racial barriers and social barriers and things that separate us and
come together hand in hand and start loving one another. That's when the world
is going to know who we are. They're going to know who we are by our love for
one another. That's what the Lord's been teaching us and wanting us to share
with people."
Jen Abbas, a writer in Grand Rapids, Michigan,
originally conducted this interview for Family Christian Stores' All Access
music catalog.
The Devil is a master deceiver (Matthew 7:15; 2nd
Corinthians 11:13-14). CCM artists claim that "Jesus really wants us to
join together," but there is NO Scriptural support for such thinking. The
New World Order is forming before our very eyes. It is the Beast system of
the coming Antichrist. In order for the New World Order to succeed, Satan
needs to get the masses of this world all traveling in the same direction.
This is why we hear so much nowadays about "diversity" and "interfaith
cooperation" and "tolerance." It is all sinful compromise. CCM artists are
pulling on the same rope as the Devil.
Jesus plainly taught in John 4:24
that you CANNOT worship God without spirit and truth. CCM music is
Jesus said he came to SEPARATE people, "For I am come to set a man
at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the
daughter in law against her mother in law" (Matthew 10:35). What did
Jesus mean? He simply meant that the truth DIVIDES people. Jesus meant that
we ought to divide over truth, rather than unite by
error.
According to the CCM camp, and Mac Powell, we're supposed to
unity at all cost. The Word of God commands us to separate, not unite.
Mac Powell, lead singer of Third Day, states . . .
“So it's time that we
tear down denominational walls and time that we
tear down racial barriers and social barriers and things that separate us
and come together hand in hand and start loving one another.”

Here's the same quote from Mac Powell, but taken
directly from Third Day's album, OFFERINGS: A WORSHIP ALBUM...
“when the listener hears the live
version of Conspiracy No. 5's 'My Hope is In You,' the peace
and worshipfulness of the song are more powerful. Almost 3 minutes into
this 7-plus minute song, Mac addresses the crowd and encourages them
(and now us) to just as He has loved us, we must love one another and
tear down our denominational walls, racial barriers, and selfishness.
The band's boldness is refreshing and important for our generation to
hear as we are being taught the complete opposite. The song ends with a
beautiful heartfelt sing-a-long and the band rocking out the closing.”

Many professed Christians are NOT Christians; but
are unsaved, bound for Hell in false religion. This includes Lutherans, who follow Martin Luther's damnable teaching on
Baptismal
Regeneration. This includes Mormonism and the cult of
the Jehovah's Witnesses. Both groups deny that Jesus' is almighty God. Seventh-Day Adventism
errantly teaches that faith alone in Jesus Christ
is not sufficient to be saved. The Baha'i faith is another false
religion, who teach works salvation.
Romans 1:16 declares that people can only
be saved through the power of the Gospel, nothing else. Third Day
doesn't even present the Gospel on their website. Oh that men cared about
men.
Popular with the World
The Apostle Paul was not very liked (Galatians
4:16). Jesus was not very liked. In fact, the Jews murdered Him for
speaking the truth. Jesus
clearly said that the world would HATE US, not love us. John 15:19
declares...
"If ye were of the world, the world
would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you
out of the world, therefore the world hateth you."
Yet, CCM artists are loved by the world, because
they are of the world. There's no difference. I have more respect for honest
secular entertainers, than I do for dishonest CCM artists who masquerades as
Christians. Pick which side you're on.
Conclusion of the Matter
Please know that I don't condemn anyone, for the
Bible condemns all of us as guilty, dirty, rotten, hell-deserving sinners.
My salvation solely rests in Christ's righteousness, because of the precious
blood that He gave for our sins.
My intention is not to be unkind; but
rather, to expose the demonic nature of the Contemporary Christian
Music [CCM] industry that leads churchgoers into worldliness,
apostasy and a false Gospel.
Third Day sings some very beautiful
music, from a secular viewpoint. But the deeper question is who are they
really serving? The answer is Satan. As hard as that may be to grasp, you
have to look at their band, images and music from a Biblical perspective.
If all a person ever had was the music of Third Day, they'd go to Hell
forever in their sins without Jesus Christ. A “feeling” is not enough to get
into Heaven. Your sins need to be forgiven. You need a Savior. His name is
Jesus! Ye must be born again!
