Music from a 
Biblical Perspective!

A page of sermons, Bible studies and audio sermons about the role 'music' has played in the near-death status of Biblical Christianity in our churches and in our homes 
and in our own personal relationships with Jesus Christ!

Do you know what your Bible DOES say about music?

I am available, desirous & willing to preach and teach in your church or home!

Along my continually growing list of music sermons & studies, I have three sermons that are done with PowerPoint that explain my charts in detail.   I also am in the process of writing a book on what the Bible says about music.  God has also allowed me to be an encouragement in guiding church musicians - especially the pianists and song leaders.

Your prayers are greatly appreciated along with your support and encouragement.  This is NOT usually a very popular subject with most of the brethren, including most pastors, but being Bible Believers that we are, we need not be offended at the truth even when it comes to music.  We all have music that "we like," but what "we like" is not the issue here - we ought to be concerned about music and how it stands approved of God, not ourselves!

Note:  As this page is updated, it will be transferred to the official music ministry website...
...hopefully by the middle of November, 2003.


Pray that God will provide some pulpits in the future
so I could at least show folks what the Bible says about music!
Read my own personal testimony about how and why is God getting me to become 
active as a missionary to the music issue in our KJB homes and churches:
I Have Been Smitten on the Side

For those of you who don't understand the "issue" regarding music 
or for those who didn't even know there was an "issue," may I suggest you start here:
Should I Even Be Concerned About the Music in My Life?
also titled
Music, Possibly the Greatest Weapon of the Devil These Days!


 
Survey of Music in the Bible
This is the very sermon preached by evangelist Rex Harrison in Toledo, Ohio - pastor Rick Sowell, that started me in this direction of "music according to the Bible."  It would be a good place for you to hear your first sermon about music and your Bible!

 
Listen to an entire week of music sermons preached in Stowe, Pennsylvania May 17-24 on audio!
The sermons are taken from the information below, however much is updated along with two new sermons!
These sermons are also available in an audio cassette set of 10 tapes or a single CD.
We hope to also make a teaching set - minus the "gasbagging" with the church folks - I guess that is just me, eh!
We also want to have a video set available, as well!

Rough Draft of the book - the writing is in progress:
Biblical Perspective of Music and the King James Bible


 
Sermons Coming In the Near Future:

How Does Philippians 4:8 fit regarding music?
Can Ham's Music have anything to do with Demon Possession - even in a Christian?
What about singing?  Can my singing 'style' quench the Holy Spirit?
Does God look at our music differently than Jesus and the Holy Spirit does?

* means that particular title was also preached in Philadelphia
and the audio version is available at the following link: Philadelphia music audio sermons
** means this is a powerpoint sermon

* CLASSIC VERSES ON MUSIC
These are the 'classic' verses on music in the Bible that have some great preaching application. 

These are short studies/sermons on the word of Christ compared to music in Colossians 3:16, couch potato Christians and their music in Amos 6:1,5; The disobedience of Moses still getting results in Numbers 20:10-12 & King Nebuchadnezzar using all kinds of music in Daniel 3:5-7.

** ALL the MUSIC VERSES
IN YOUR KJB
You have nothing to say but your personal opinion unless you have read EACH and EVERY verse in that KJB in regards to music and have asked & allowed the Holy Spirit to preach and teach to you about that subject.
* GOD'S OWN PERFECT 
& PURE MUSIC
What is God's Perfect and Pure Music?  Does it exist for us to 'perform' down here?  Sure thing - for real!  Read this and really see how you can totally please God with that "new song" that He has given us.  What is that new song?
* WHAT SHOULD I DO NOW?
The final sermon preached in Stowe, Pennsylvania about what we should do with this music issue now that we have seen the Biblical presentation of music.  Good advice to pastors and parents in regards to music and their family.
HEY, PASTORS!
Do You Have a Music Controversy In Your Church, and you don't know what to do?
More and more KJB pastors need to open their eyes and ears to what is happening with music in their church.  It is affecting some people in their family.  This will enlighten a pastor to what is going on in the hearts & minds of some of his church family!
WHAT HAS HAPPENED to 
CHRISTIAN MUSIC?
A short yet well written article about music in our churches, written from a musical perspective.
** AMERICAN CHRISTIAN MUSIC HISTORY CHART
How Did America Change From
Philadelphian to Laodicean?
Without a doubt, we can see that the devil has replaced the word of God in America with music.  See the slow process shown in this chart.  The chart is available but the sermon itself is a powerpoint demonstration - so the audio may be 'interesting' to follow.
** THE BIG PICTURE
Music History Chart that includes the music of Shem, Ham & Japheth from Genesis to Revelation.
From studying the history of music from each of the three races - Shem, Ham & Japheth, we can see the effect and design of how the devil has manipulated the world with and through music.  The conclusion shows us that there can't be much time left.  See where and how Classical & other period music, rock music, new age music, etc. all played a roll in the destruction of America and the world - AND the King James Bible!
IS MUSIC BURYING 
OUR KJBO CHURCHES?
A sermon on what I see to be one of the last nails to be put on the coffin lid of Bible Believing Baptist KJB Only Churches!
'STOLEN HYMN VERSES'
See what you DON'T see in modern hymnals today. The devil not only has attacked the Bible, he even has changed many hymns written in the 1700-1800's..
WHY OFFEND OUR LOYAL 
CHURCH FAMILY MEMBERS?
Why are pastors so willing to sacrifice the loyal folks for the sake of 'numbers' and new folks.  How long can a person stay loyal to their church family when the family brings in polluted praises of the modern Christian world?
CCM
Comments and other great links in relation to Contemporary "Christian" Music (CCM).  This is a site written by Terry Watkins.
BEYOND THE
MOZART EFFECT
A series of studies on the use of GOOD music and how the devil and the world has taken GOOD music and replaced the work of the Holy Spirit - yes, even in the lives of more and more Bible Believers. 

Those of us who had sung in school choirs as a teen will recognize some amazing things at the end of this series.

MORE SONGS of the 'BLOOD'
from the Old Hymnals
These are verses and hymns that deal with the blood of Christ that you won't find in most modern song books in our BB churches today.
FEELINGS
In the New Song Books
Read about the sensual 'feeling' that is moving in to our song books in the KJB churches of today/tomorrow.  God's praises are being replaced with our feelings - right under our singing eyes and noses!
MUSIC EVENTS in the BIBLE
This is a specific listing of events in the Scriptures that involved music.
WHOSE MUSIC ARE YOU?
A sermon that deals with whining, complaining, thin-skinned KJB Christians who themselves can become music to the lost world!
SOUND of SIN
These are the Scripture references that deal with music in relation to the lost world!  It is too bad when we see the 'saved' Bible Believer using music for the same purpose as a lost person!
SAUL & DAVID ARE NOT 
OUR MUSICAL EXAMPLE

I Samuel 16:14-23

Here is the reference that most Christians use today to justify using music to benefit themselves physically, mentally and spiritually.  They are wrong in their application, however!

Music is given the WRONG PURPOSE in most homes and churches today.

THE MESSIAH
George Frederick Handel
Text only
Such a thing to read AND listen to.  Not only does The Messiah PREACH about the birth of Christ, the life of Christ, the death of Christ AND the resurrection of Christ, it also preaches about the RAPTURE . But you don't often hear that in community performances, eh!
MUSIC GROUP REVIEW

"SOUND DOCTRINE"

In response to many reader questions, this is my short personal review of a few of the older songs sung by the popular Sound Doctrine musical group. For a group that doesn't have any drums, they sure do tend to appeal to the flesh with their rhythms.  Nice group - nice men - i am sure they mean well, but they still feed the flesh.
Thomas Mowery
Music Page
As one of my former music students now a pastor in Union Gap, Washington, Thomas has some of the greatest material on:
The Origin and Purpose of Music
Biblical Music Corrupted
Enter: The Beat of a Different Drum
Country and Gospel Music
Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual Songs

Much of Pastor Mowery's material brings the KJB church music scene up to date.  In fact, I had come to figure that God was going to take my stuff & combine it with pastor Mowery's and use him to be the man to preach on music in our KJB churches.  Thomas has learned well and has added some material that truly closes the door on the 'new' music scene going on in our KJB churches and in our homes.
