I will not say anything publically at this time...But I will call him.
The POA was once the church of Bro. Strange...he loves the manguns very much...cannot see him saying these things.

He never said anything about POA or AM. In fact he said on the other thread that he enjoyed the sermon.

However, he has used the terms of "idol worship" and "weird chanting" repeatedly to discribe the music of that nite; and POA did all the music on Wed. nite!

Here is Rev. Strange remarks concerning the worship from this nite.

"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. "

The songs that were sung that nite were "There is No God Like Our God", "How Great Is Our God", "How Great Thou Art", "When I Speak Your Name" and "To Worship You I Live".

According to Rev. Strange, this was the music that caused the "Idol Worship" and "weird chanting".

You possibly need to use caution when using these songs in your worship service!!

I find it interesting that Bro Strange didn't make a post himself??? I wonder if he would post the same things you did or if you twisted his words out of context....

I-90, care to revise your post???

I know that many times song are sung in a genre that is not so appealing to the last generation....but that doesn't make it idol worship and demonic chanting...this is the reason for the questioning here I think...

Instead of sitting there judging it, maybe he could have spent some time simply lifting up Jesus...because I am not going to go along with the "feeling" that he had concerning the entire LA District having a demonic worship set...led by POA to boot...give me a break...

If you don't like the style, ok...but you don't have to call it demonic...

This generation did the same thing to the Wedgeworth brothers in the early seventies when they were the first to use a drum set at Gen. Conf....funny thing was that Micky was singing with them then--as she was in bible school for a short stint...

The Wedgeworth brothers got hammered...all of their meetings except in Florida were cancelled...and 1 year later most of the movement was using drums and singing the same song they got condemned over, "I Wish We'd All Been Ready"
