FRIENDS OF THE WEEK
JOEL AND HELEN-
FOUNDERS OF YAHWEH
Who wrote "Why should the devil have the good music?"
Larry Norman was not the first one to make this statement. It was Martin Luther who also made this statement years before Larry Norman did in 1970. Martin Luther was the founder of the Lutheran Church.
When I hear people say, "That's the devil's music! It's that awful beat!" I want to ask them a question: Who made the devil? Who gave him all the gifts and talents that he has and the powers he possesses? Where did it come from? Did not God create all the angels and the devil? Some people think Jesus only speaks old English and sings Country Western music. I thought he was born a Jew. If you are going to go to the French you need to learn their customs and language, or have an interpreter. They said Jesus was a winebibber and a glutton. They said he cast out devils by the power of Satan. I believe God was and is the creator of all musical talent. Watch out for the snakes and vipers. They pray seven times a day and know their Bible well. Jesus called them strong names. Who is trying to turn the body of Christ against each other? Who is trying to divide us? They worry about how we dress. When God created Adam and Eve did he even put clothing on them? Jesus said John the Baptist was the greatest among men. He was a nazarite dressed in camel skin. He did not wear a three-piece suit and tie. Samson was a nazarite with long hair and a beard. Both Samson and John the Baptist had long hair and beards. Lust comes from within ourselves. Don't blame it on how someone else is dressing.
I myself would not want to cause someone else to stumble. When it talks about modest apparel, it is talking about costly clothes and jewelry. It is not about a short dress or the price of their clothes that should classify a person. Jesus looks at the heart not the outward appearance. We need to work on our heart not our appearance first. Why did Jesus turn the water into wine? What does it mean to drink a little wine for the stomach's sake? Jesus went to Matthew's party house. We are to go to the world but not be part of the world. We are to tear down the strong holds of the devil. We are to use our most
powerful weapon of love. Instead of carrying signs, standing outside of dirty bookstores, and abortion clinics you should be trying to invite them to church and showing them the love of God.
