Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD…Psalm 33:12

United States of America

TODAY

Hear, O earth: behold, I will bring evil upon this people, even the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not hearkened unto my words, nor to my law, but rejected it. Jeremiah 6:19

What Happened?

Philadelphian Church Age Country…

How did America go from a…

Had Little Strength Kept His Word Did Not Deny His Name

…when God had said to the Church in America …

I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it…

Revelation 3:8

…to a Laodicean Church Age Country

Wretched

Miserable

Poor, Blind & Naked

when Christians say they are…

Rich

Increased with goods

Have need of nothing

…yet God says they are…

So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. Revelation 3:15-17

…and nobody noticed?

Here is what happened…

The King James Bible Was Replaced By…

1600's HOW AMERICA WENT FROM PHILADELPHIAN TO LAODICEAN UNNOTICED - Present

Philadelphian Church Age Begins (KJV 1611 in print)

Blessed it the nation whose God

is the Lord (Ps 33:12)

This country was started by people coming from Europe in order to have freedom of religion. The Bible was the book that America was founded upon. The Book was read daily, looked to for every need, was preached from, and was respected to the point that it was believed - as written - saved or not!. The first book printed in America was the Bay Psalm Book - a book of Psalms and was used in their singing. Nobody could read music nor did they have the time or desire to learn - they had to survive!

Philadelphian Characteristics: a. had little strength

b. kept his word c. did not deny his name

They were rewarded with open doors!

A Country Was Evangelized!

The Word of God

Music Their only music was sung directly from the Psalms. Because 'meter' was not used until later people could not sing well together. 'Deaconing' was the mode of singing in church.

Isaac Watts began to write the Psalms as he saw them and put them to music as his own form of expression of the gospel.

Watts' music had a slow but sure start. Music influence began.

1600's

A Colonial Religious Revival called The Great Awakening

Famous Preachers: William Tennet: Presbyterian Subjects - Authority of the Holy

Bible, Holiness of God, the need for Gospel preaching!

Theodore Fretinghuysen Dutch Reformed - Subject: Personal

redemption Gilbert Tennent - Presbyterian -

Subjects: Evangelism Jonathan Edwards -

Congregationalist - Subject: personal salvation through grace alone!

George Whitfield - Lit the spark of all the revival. Subjects: Doctrine of

the New Birth and Justification.

Thousands of people attended outdoor meetings. Thousands saved. Hundreds of churches were started. Preaching colleges were begun. Major missionary activity began. Religious Liberty, PH church, Biblical Christianity was revitalized in the colonies.

Parts of Countries Evangelized

The Word of God

Music Singing Schools were begun.

Hymn books became available. Charles Wesley wrote many hymns that were greatly accepted. He wanted his music to bring the unsaved to hear the gospel and for the saint to be uplifted. His music was of conviction, salvation, heaven, the trials & victories of a Christian.

Songs of the People

Singing was 'paraphrased' from the Bible.

1700's

Missionary work was in full swing with complete missionary works in all the world.

William Carey was called the Father of Modern Missions Adoniram Judson - Burma

Hudson Taylor - China American Preachers traveled the country on horses - farm to farm, city to city. "Circuit Riders"

Ebenezer Loomis Peter Cartwright

James McBready (camp mtg) Lorenzeo Dow (called the devil)

Charles Finney - wilderness to the city. Reformed entire cities.

Sheldon Jackson / A.B. Earle Billy Bray / George Mueller

Cities were Evangelized

The Word of God

Music With revivals came great and exciting singing. The camp meeting was famous for much singing as well as preaching. Much praise was given a lo ng with He ll-F ire preaching.

"Next to preaching was the singing"

Fanny Crosby - 5,000+ hymns William Bradbury / George Root

Stephen Foster / P.P.Bliss William Kirkpatrick (SS Songs)

These are considered by many as the best hymns ever written. Harmony was used in very proper & balanced form.

The emphasis of music has now gone from Psalm singing 'from' the Bible to singing 'about' what the Bible says including personal experiences.

1800's

Laodicean Church Age Begins Preachers & song-leaders as a 'team'

D.L. Moody - Ira Sankey Billy Sunday - Homer Rodeaver R.A.Torrey - Charles Alexander Billy Graham - George B. Shea

Jack Van Impe - Rexella The preaching many times took a backseat to the music. The basic text of the Bible was changed and many newer versions were begun. Parts of Cities were Evangelized

The Word of God

Music

Music is everywhere. Hymnbooks of all kinds including

both Psalms & hymns. All the many denominations have their own hymn books. Piano is introduced to assist in singing. Song leaders lead the congregation in song, some with instruments themselves. Soloists are put into the service to help 'set the mood'. Music is called a 'Hand-maiden to the Word of God.'

Congregations are "warmed-up"

Large choruses are gathered to help The element of rhythm has begun

to dominate in music - fleshy

Music makes you feel great and helps make the services look great and enables people to 'have fun'!

1900's Music dominates the service.

No new 'well-known' preachers. False Doctrines abound.

Satanic Bibles entering all churches. Women pastors in pulpits!

Words of Jesus Christ being ignored!

Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked Rev 3:17

Personal Revivals Only

The Word of God ("corrected" & "rewritten")

Music

Musicians more well-known than any preachers.

Preachers are performing musicians.

Television mentality & skills used in

their approach to the people.

People are visual and feelings oriented. Sensual & Fleshy.

False Doctrine abounds in music, yet

no one notices - nor do they care

Full orchestras and huge choirs are used in place of preaching to be a witness to the world to the "success" of a Christian. Rehearsals take place on church nights instead of church. Heavy emphasis on the element of rhythm. Melody and harmony are "boring" - no excitement!

I Cor 14:7 - no distinctive sound II Tim 3:5 - form of Godliness II Tim 4:1 - seducing spirits

Jude17 - Sensual - "Feelings"

Late 1900's Total Apostasy

KJV churches are small and few in number - considered the enemy!

'KJV crowd' disagrees over issues like briderism. LIARS in the pulpits!

Words of Jesus Christ near famine! No True Revivals

The Word of God

2000

Music Music has gone full circle in the world. All three races have shown their influence - their music has permeated all avenues of life throughout the entire world. See The Big Picture for details of the world scene regarding these races.

Music has also gone full circle within the churches. All three races have shown their influence in the country's churches.

All types of the worlds music has permeated the church doors to the point where you can hear any kind of music you want somewhere in some church in any city.

Church according to your ‘musical’ taste!

Religious music has become a personal god. Music copies and attempts to fulfill all the duties and work of the Holy Spirit in the lives of most Christians. Many KJV believers are tricked by 'good music' to quench and grieve the Holy Spirit.

Mus ic al ' art is ts ' no w do minate Christianity instead of preachers. Pastors try to reach out to people with music instead of preaching.

Music has changed doctrinal truth to the p o in t wh e r e mu s ic a l a r t is t s organizations have established their own 'statements of faith' and they are far from the words of Jesus Christ. Amos 5:23: Take thou away from me the noise of thy songs; for I will not hear the melody of thy viols.

A Country Was Begun with God’s Word!

Philadelphian Church Age Begins (KJV 1611 begins to catch on!)

This country was started by people coming from Europe in order to have freedom of religion. The Bible was the book that America was founded upon. The Book was read daily, looked to for every need, was preached from, and was respected to the point that it was believed - as written – from the saved & lost!

The first book printed in America was the Bay Psalm Book!

Nobody could read music nor did they have the time or desire to study!

They just had to survive and they survived with their Bible, not their music!!

Early Christians in America had little strength, kept his word & did not deny his name

They were rewarded with open doors – doors they could not even shut!

Their only music was sung directly from the Book of Psalms!

Considering most people had no clue on how to read music, and also because 'meter' was strictly adhered to formalistic ways, people could not sing Psalms together very well…thus 'Deaconing' was the mode of group singing in church.

A young man named Isaac Watts began to write the Psalms as he saw them and put them to music in his own form as an expression of the gospel.

Watts’ as “Father English Hymnody” had a slow start but

nonetheless, the influence of music

had now begun!

Music

1700’s

Because of such musical illiteracy, The Singing School Movement developed – men would travel around and teach people about music.

Hymns Books started to become available, although most were just words. Remember, Deaconing & Lining was the way of singing.

Charles Wesley began to write many hymns that were greatly accepted by the people. He wanted his music to 1) bring the unsaved to hear the gospel and 2) for the saint to be uplifted. His music was of conviction, salvation, heaven, the trials & victories of a Christian.

The Revival Spirit was in need of Revival Music

No more corporate praise – but private thoughts and feelings within the context of the hymn for person singing.

His hymns related the spiritual unrest of a soul bound by sin –

instantaneously released by conversion followed by a great

assurance. His music relates to Christian trials and

victories!

His music is known for repetition of words and breaking up of tunes.

1800’s

With all these revivals in the city and in the countryside came the opportunities for exciting singing! The camp meeting was ‘famous’ for it’s singing as well as it’s circuit riders & preaching.

Next to Preaching was the SingingThe hymns written during these times are considered the best hymns ever written. Harmony was very perfect and proper – the design of the music was the same as Japheth’s classical structures. The music was perfectly balanced in every way, including ‘most’ doctrinal content.

Great Hymn Writers

Fanny Crosby – 5-8000 Hymns

William Bradbury / George Root

Stephen Foster Phillip P Bliss

William Kirkpatrick – SS Songs

Music was at it’s purest from Japheth and it carried over into America – thus, along with the KJB, the balance was there and it was pleasing to God! This was the peak of the Philadelphian Era!

Philadelphian Church Age Begins (KJV 1611 in print)

Blessed it the nation whose God

is the Lord (Ps 33:12)

This country was started by people coming from Europe in order to have freedom of religion. The Bible was the book that America was founded upon. The Book was read daily, looked to for every need, was preached from, and was respected to the point that it was believed - as written - saved or not!. The first book printed in America was the Bay Psalm Book - a book of Psalms and was used in their singing. Nobody could read music nor did they have the time or desire to learn - they had to survive!

Philadelphian Characteristics: a. had little strength

b. kept his word c. did not deny his name

Watts' music had a slow but sure start. Music influence began.

Music has also gone full circle within the churches. All three races have shown their influence in the country's churches.

All types of the worlds music has permeated the church doors to the point where you can hear any kind of music you want somewhere in some church in any city.

Church according to your ‘musical’ taste!

Religious music has become a personal god. Music copies and attempts to fulfill all the duties and work of the Holy Spirit in the lives of most Christians. Many KJV believers are tricked by 'good music' to quench and grieve the Holy Spirit.

to dominate in music - fleshy

Music makes you feel great and helps make the services look great and enables people to 'have fun'!

1900's Music dominates the service.

No new 'well-known' preachers. False Doctrines abound.

Satanic Bibles entering all churches. Women pastors in pulpits!

Words of Jesus Christ being ignored!

Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked Rev 3:17

Music

Musicians more well-known than any preachers.

Preachers are performing musicians.

Television mentality & skills used in

their approach to the people.

People are visual and feelings oriented. Sensual & Fleshy.

False Doctrine abounds in music, yet

no one notices - nor do they care

Full orchestras and huge choirs are used in place of preaching to be a witness to the world to the "success" of a Christian. Rehearsals take place on church nights instead of church. Heavy emphasis on the element of rhythm. Melody and harmony are "boring" - no excitement!

I Cor 14:7 - no distinctive sound II Tim 3:5 - form of Godliness II Tim 4:1 - seducing spirits

Jude17 - Sensual - "Feelings"

Late 1900's Total Apostasy

KJV churches are small and few in number - considered the enemy!

'KJV crowd' disagrees over issues like briderism. LIARS in the pulpits!

Words of Jesus Christ near famine! No True Revivals

Music Music has gone full circle in the world. All three races have shown their influence - their music has permeated all avenues of life throughout the entire world. See The Big Picture for details of the world scene regarding these races.

Music has also gone full circle within the churches. All three races have shown their influence in the country's churches.

All types of the worlds music has permeated the church doors to the point where you can hear any kind of music you want somewhere in some church in any city.

Church according to your ‘musical’ taste!

Religious music has become a personal god. Music copies and attempts to fulfill all the duties and work of the Holy Spirit in the lives of most Christians. Many KJV believers are tricked by 'good music' to quench and grieve the Holy Spirit.

Mus ic al ' art is ts ' no w do minate Christianity instead of preachers. Pastors try to reach out to people with music instead of preaching.

Music has changed doctrinal truth to the p o in t wh e r e mu s ic a l a r t is t s organizations have established their own 'statements of faith' and they are far from the words of Jesus Christ. Amos 5:23: Take thou away from me the noise of thy songs; for I will not hear the melody of thy viols.

Music IS the church service now!

Only a few dispensationally correct, rightly dividing, KJB Only, reading & studying to “show themselves approved” churches left anywhere! People have to drive many miles to attend one!

Even the Brethren can’t get along doctrinally OR in regards to the walk!

Someone who preaches Godly Doctrine AND the Godly Walk is considered an enemy – even from their own!

The Pulpits are full of Liars

Many KJV-Only aren’t “Only!”

Many home-schooled, KJV children are leaving their homes AND their KJV Bibles behind when they ‘grow-up’! But they ‘love’ their “Christian” music!

Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD: And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the LORD, and shall not find it. In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst. Amos 8:11-14

Quotes that Expose CCM for what it is… …AN ECUMENICAL TOOL OF SATAN!

Jesus Christ is the biggest rebel to ever walk the face of this earth – he was crucified for rebellion. Rock’n’Roll is about the same thing – rebellion. To me, rock and the church go hand in hand. Mark Stuart of Audio Adrenaline

Time has taught me well and I can tell you the good things people do they really care and I’ve been there, I’ve seen it with my own eyes – I can tell they are God’s people by the goodness in their lives. Audio Adreneline on their album “Bloom.”

Note: Like apples should produce apples, Christians should produce

Christians, not “good-deed-doer’s!”

I was raised a Southern Baptist…Now I am more used to being in an Assemblies of God church one night, a Presbyterian church the following night, and a Catholic Pentecostal church the night after that. Over the years, I have realized that a lot of Christians are different than me. Christians like different kinds of music. Some like Hank Williams, some like others – I try to enjoy it too and so I try to learn what others like with their music. Dana Key, early CCM rocker

As the years go by, our music moves more and more to the mainstream of Christian music, and it’s gaining acceptance. Dana Key

After a preacher preached against Rock music, his combo began playing a southern gospel rendition of In the Garden. I knew our time was coming to be accepted in the churches. Key

CCM – The Music of the Strong Delusion

And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. II Thessalonians 2:11,12

CCM – The Music of the Tares

Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn. Matthew 13:30

Allow the Word of God to

Allow the Word of God to effectually

Allow the Word of God to effectually

worketh also in you that believe…Reading and studying the Scriptures leads

to Scriptural knowledge which leads to Biblical understanding which leads to Godly wisdom concerning music.

You trusted Him with your soul because you believed the word of truth…

In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory. Ephesians 1:13,14

…now trust Him concerning music!

Study the rightly divided word of truth! It’s NOT about you… it is all about

praising his name, extolling and rejoicing before Jesus Christ!

And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God. Luke 4:4

ALL the New Modern Bibles versions have taken out “but by every word of God!”

So today, people have replaced “every word of God” with the Devil’s “bad” AND “good”
