Rockin’ To Lukewarmness In Roughly A Generation
The sacred cow of modern rock based worship music
To almost all professing American Christians today the integration of rock music into
modern worship has become a “sacred cow”. Pastors and congregations alike usually
don’t want anyone around their church long who doesn’t support it’s use. A sacred
cow represents a person, idea, institution, or object that, if criticized, will cause the
roof to literally fall in on top of the critic. Typically a sacred cow is the false invention
of a skilled propagandist. Adolf Hitler correctly defined the world’s false
understanding of truth in his reinterpretation of the old occult lie that “perception is
reality” when he defined truth as follows: "Truth is not what is; truth is what people
perceive it to be".
What is the truth about rock music?
The enticing words of Larry Norman, one of the early fathers of Christian rock music
in the late 1960’s, have been removed from their original context and misused by
evangelists and pastors of the “Jesus Movement” to help establish a foothold in the
church for Christian rock music. In truth, Norman’s words are a blasphemous
misinterpretation of Martin Luther’s words. The truth is, why would we who have the
mind and spirit of Christ want to steal a creation of Satan’s like rock and roll music?
Thank God, as Amos 5:23 tells us, that God’s ways and thoughts are far above ours
and that we don’t have to settle for the noise of this world in our music.
History can help unlock the truth sometimes. It’s interesting to review a mainstream
secular book which was written about rock music over 30 years ago. A review of such
a book reveals how far Satan has advanced in his attempts to destroy the way things
are and build a new world order using music as one of his major weapons.

Hopkins, then editor of the Rolling Stone, reminds us of the following historical facts:
In the mid-1950’s rock music was declared a public menace and many songs
were banned. Rock music was believed to deal with sex point blank. (pg. 18)
In 1955, the “Year Rhythm & Blues took over the Pop Field”, Chicago radio
stations had a daily ritual of destroying rock records. The Houston Juvenile
Delinquincy and Crime Commision banned over 50 songs in one session. In
Washington, a Senate sub-committee began to study the relationship between
