I have always loved contemporary worship music and was very rude in my younger days about the old fuddy duddies who said it was shallow and trite.
I think I was wrong, the worship music we have is not sufficient to protect us from heresy. We sing “bless the name of Jesus” but if the Jesus you are singing to is the inclusive safe and inoffensive Jesus you are blessing not the name of Jesus but a fiction.
Where is the repentance? Where is the call to holiness? To bless the name of Jesus is to put Jesus in the highest place it is to bend the knee to Christ. To pick up your cross and follow him. To state my identity is in Christ crucified.
I wish I was wrong. But how can people sing “Holy… lifted high” whilst wearing a rainbow badge. A badge that celebrates and holds up a lie.
Hosea 4
Hear the word of the LORD, O people of Israel!
The LORD has brought charges against you, saying: “There is no faithfulness, no kindness, no knowledge of God in your land. You make vows and break them; you kill and steal and commit adultery. There is violence everywhere—
one murder after another.
Where is the knowledge of God? Where is the faithfulness, even the ‘kindness’ is corrupted. It is not kind to lie and deceive. And the consequence of the lie is heartbreak. The death of families, broken lives and the loss of hope. Under this lie children have their genitals butchered, Children watch extreme pornography and are told that they have no purpose and no destiny except to destroy the institutions that protect them. Does the church see this and shout “NO there is a better way. NO this is evil it is better to tie a millstone around you neck than to harm one of these little ones.” No rather than this the church celebrates sin as children are being destroyed.
My complaint, you priests, is with you. So you will stumble in broad daylight, and your false prophets will fall with you in the night. And I will destroy Israel, your mother. My people are being destroyed because they don’t know me. Since you priests refuse to know me. I refuse to recognize you as my priests. Since you have forgotten the laws of your God, I will forget to bless your children. The more priests there are, the more they sin against me. They have exchanged the glory of God for the shame of idols.
Where are the shepherds, where are the prophets? Where are the priests calling the people to repentance? They have stumbled, they have fallen they have become false prophets who preach another gospel. They refuse to feel shame to recognise the glory of God. The sins of the priests will be felt in the children. Not because God is evil but because the adults are sacrificing their children to the idols of wokism.
They will eat and still be hungry. They will play the prostitute and gain nothing from it, for they have deserted the LORD to worship other gods.
Does this not describe where we are now as a society people eat to excess, children have diabetes. We watch pornography but are not satisfied and the relationships we do have are ruined.
They ask a piece of wood for advice! They think a stick can tell them the future! Longing after idols has made them foolish. They have played the prostitute, serving other gods and deserting their God. They offer sacrifices to idols on the mountaintops.
We may have stopped asking pieces of wood for advice but instead we ask a lost society for advice, preferring the views of Marx and Queers to the truth of the gospel. We sacrifice the truth, our children, our sanity to the idols of LGBTQ to the Marxists gods of equity, inclusion and diversity.
Be in no doubt the ideologies are evil. The queer ideology says:
‘Queer is by definition whatever is at odds with the normal, the legitimate, the dominant . . . “Queer,” then, demarcates not a positivity but a positionality vis-à-vis the normative. ‘ David Halperin
That is why your daughters turn to prostitution, and your daughters-in-law commit adultery. But why should I punish them for their prostitution and adultery? For your men are doing the same thing, sinning with whores and shrine prostitutes. O foolish people! You refuse to understand, so you will be destroyed.
Only fans, pornhub, trans ideology we have turned our children over to prostitution and adultery. Yet we celebrate this, we say that this is freedom.
So should the LORD feed her like a lamb in a lush pasture? Leave Israel alone, because she is married to idolatry. When the rulers of Israel finish their drinking, off they go to find some prostitutes. They love shame more than honor. So a mighty wind will sweep them away. Their sacrifices to idols will bring them shame.
Your church glorifies in shame, celebrates sin and claims it is honourable. That sin is actually good.
Send your fire.
