I've decided to add to my ministry .... casting people out of Satan.

Stop blaming the devil for personal carnal choices.

Dan with his typical misspin of what was said..

Nobody said anything about gay.....

Music is artsy....

Blessings

You did use the word artsy...may have been in a similar context.

To me it sounds like maybe there needs to be a bit more concern on the part of the leader. Musicians always get a bad rap. MOst of the time its because the "music devil" is in the sound room.

Instead of having a deliverance service for these strays how about maybe incorporating some professional training, workshops, or maybe even paying for their stay at one of the organizational "music-fests"

My pastor also requires the platform personal to pray before service.

While I disagree with the phrase "music devil", I think the post hits on the personality type that many "artsy" people have. Think of how almost all painters are portrayed in old sitcoms as the wild, French-accent, types with a crazy beard who throw a few drops of paint on a canvas and shout "brilliant!". I think it is just part of the creative personality.

The complete ignorance contained in this article is both shocking and sad.

I do use ignorance in the unaltered definition of the word.

Well, this seems as good a time as any to brag on our music team. They fast, they pray, they rehearse, they don't clamor for the spotlight, but when required they WILL step to the plate, they volunteer for EVERYTHING else that is going on at the church, they love their peers, they love and respect their elders, they are anointed, they love leaving the platform to pray for people, I guess that is why sometimes we don't need music at the end of a service to be impactful, or set a mood, they already have done that during prayer and in their walk with God...and I ain't speaking of "some" of them....ALLso take your devil comments elsewhere and leave my team alone, where is that beatdown smiley, he he!!!

I honestly think some preachers rail on musicians to deflect attention.

Gotta add a big DITTO Monkeyman.

My music people are greatly appreciated.

Ah yes....

Thanks for every song...

Every moment given....

This piece is not dedicated to those who remain faithful and submitted to God....

But rather the ones who do what they do for thier own significance....

And not as unto the Lord.....

Good grief.
Its called satire, people.
S.A.T.I.R.E. Look it up if you don't know what the word means.

Some folks seem to take everything a bit too seriously.

I actually thought it was a pretty good piece.
