I think its sad how many christians have this view ... that there is pure music and evil music :whistling:

Do you not think that if this were true, that God might have mentioned this in His book: "ok people, pay attention here - look, look, look here!!! These notes are good and these notes are bad ... you can put these ones together and not these ... and these are the particular key and time signatures ... "

... sorry ... :whistling: ... got a bit cheeky there...

ok...goin to listen to ....wwmt (World Wide Message Tribe)

I've just recently discovered Cross Movement. They are a Rap/Hip-Hop group. Some of their lyrics are so very good...

I Am That I Am

Verse 1: Without the Alaa-Kasam!

The author of that website is a wholesale hack. It is one of the most devisive 'christian' websites on the web...right up there with the Westboro freaks.

Right off the bat you can tell his deception and his intent to deceive and malign tobyMac by listing two humorous musical "fillers" between songs as legitimate tobyMac lyrics. And as someone else pointed out...the author has clearly not done his homework on tobyMac because dcTalk and tobyMac have ALWAYS been about racial diversity...not the diversity of pornographers, homosexuals, and pedophiles! What a STUPID STUPID bit of commentary! Is it any wonder that the author didn't post the lyrics to tobyMac songs that totally uplift God and the Christian experience. And seriously...if this guy can't tell the difference between tobyMac and eminem or snoop...is he really a credible judge? Seriously.

BTW...I went to Boomin' Beyond Measure in Phoenix and toby was off the chain! Ironically, tobyMac read from a bible while on stage and used the exact same verse that the author used at the beginning of his trashing of tobyMac (1 John 2:15.) Toby encouraged the audience to love the things of God and not the things of the world, and to be bold for the faith. To stand up and stand out for Christ! I must also say I was quite impressed with Matthew West. Just a guy with his guitar was a surpringly good opener for two high powered, high energy performers like toby and Jeremy.

Also...that website also claims that christian artists like Michael W Smith are occultic (because he spelled his name backwrds on an old album cover with an odd font)...or Carman (he uses occultic symbols in his video for "witches Invitation")...Petra is evil too (Their re-write of "God gave Rock and Roll to You" is highly offensive to the author)...even Third Day is not immune (they have an artsy symbol on one album that appears occultic.) That website is too ridiculous for words!

Shalom,

:thumbsup::):o

I love Toby Mac! One of my fav artists. Awesome ministry.

As for the author of that commentary, well, you can find all sorts of kooky opinions on the Internet and that one is pretty kooky. ;)

Well, I've had alot of unfairness already in my young life. I think it's fair to sometimes have a good time! By the way, they took me as well as a present for my 20th birthday next month.

I think one of my all-time favorite concerts was back during my Open House when I graduated from High School in 2000...all my friends pooled together to get me front-row tix with backstage passes to see Skillet on their Invincible tour! :thumbsup: That's still some of the most fun I've ever had, even though my ears were ringing for like three days afterward! :thumbsup:

There is a bizarre phenomena that was huge in the 80s. Anything that had an electric guitar in it was considered demonic. The whole thing is beyond stupid.

    • Exhortation - October 24, 2024

      Albert Finch posted a blog entry in Albert Finch Ministry,

      You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • The Simchat Torah War -- Is this a Water Breaking Moment of Revival?

      George posted a topic in Biblical Topic Videos,

      George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      George posted a topic in Study Group,

      Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2

      George posted a topic in Study Group,

      Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
