It has been 25 years since...It may be another 25 years before I make this journey here again.
I learned last night, they don't even have Youth Camp here anymore. In my day, in the 1950s that was the highlight of the whole year to which we all looked forward to with such excitement. The music is strange, the spirit is strange, the words from the pulpit are becoming strange. There is still the FORM, but....????

I would be in favor of putting the blood of Jesus back into worship, including our singing with much less chanting.

Moses coming down the mountain heard strange music. He heard a strange sound. He knew something was wrong from the sound. Someone could have said, "Oh never mind, Moses, these young people have come up with their own sound. They ware worshipping the Lord in their own way and music."
Moses would have known better. He was right. The music was the sound of worship of an idol made of gold. Such sounds will always be different than that of divine consecreation music. The sound of the uncircucised should not be hard to recognize for those that have their ears and eyes turned toward heaven.
I am hearing the worship of an idol. While we have stood stoutly with our standards at the front door of the church, the enemy has slipped in through the back door and has erected an idol in our very midst, under our noses and we did not see it coming.
Keep dancing folks. Keep chanting folks. You are going to have more sommersaults in church. You will soon have a laughing spirit on you and who knows, some of you may be barking like a dog in church before it is all over. Weird spirits are creeping in and some of you people are so dead in slumber, you would not know a golden calf from a pillar of fire over the Tabernacle.
Nice going folks. Enter into the Temple of Wisdom. The devil has a lot of great wisdom for you all in the area of human reasoning.
