to believe it myself; and that’s what we had to deal withall the time—he really believed it and was wrestling withit constantly” (sound track from film Jimi Hendrix).Note the two following testimonies about Hendrix byfellow rocker Carlos Santana:“Everything was fine for the first few moments but then,Carlos remembered sadly, Hendrix started freaking outand playing some ‘wild s—-’ that had nothing to do withthe song. . . ‘His eyes were all bloodshot and he wasfoaming at the mouth. It was like being in a room withsomeone having an epileptic fit...” (Marc Shapiro,Carlos Santana: Back on Top, p. 91).“On another occasion, Santana was taken to watchHendrix recording and what he saw frightened him, ‘Thefirst time I was really with him was in the studio. He wasoverdubbing “Roomful of Mirrors” and it was a realshocker to me. He started recording and it wasincredible. But within fifteen or twenty seconds he justwent out. All of a sudden he was freaking out like he washaving a gigantic battle in the sky with somebody. Theroadies look at each other and the producer looked athim and they said, “Go get him”. They separated himfrom the amplifier and the guitar and it was like he washaving an epileptic fit’” (Simon Leng, Soul Sacrifice:The Santana Story, p. 51).On September 18, 1970, Jimi Hendrix died in London atage 27. The official cause of death was “barbiturateintoxication” and “inhalation of vomit.” He died in a PurpleHaze.It is inexcusable for Rick Warren and his “worship” teamto perform any Jimi Hendrix song on any occasionwhatsoever.Rock DancesThe following information from the Saddleback websitefor 2005 describes their enthusiasm for rock and roll dances:48
“Our dances have become some of the most anticipatedof our social events with hundreds of people attending.This Summer’s Night dance in our Worship Centerpromises to be the same. It will begin with a light buffetstyle dinner followed by dancing to the sounds of our DJon a huge 3,000 square foot ballroom competition floor.Professional lighting, effects and sound all blendtogether for a high-quality experience, all at anextremely reasonable price! Whether you bring a specialfriend, come alone or with a group, make sure you comeready to have fun! Music will consist of a wide varietyproviding for specific dances and freestyle. And what’s asummer night without some beach music and reggae?”Pelvic ThrustsThe following statement from the Extreme Theologywebsite for December 9, 2006, describes a video on YouTubeof a Saddleback “Worship” Concert that featured vulgar“pelvic thrust” rock moves:“This is a video of a Saddleback Worship Concert. Thereare teenage girls doing dance moves that include PelvicThrusts. Is this really worship to the one true God of theBible or is this worship to one of those pagan sex gods?You be the judge? You can go to the original YouTubepost at http://youtube.com/watch?v=Gq_heSAajS0.After seeing this, Is there any wonder why Saddleback’sworship is so appealing and attractive to unbelievers?Saddleback is offering jiggly-dancing and sexualstimulation at church and calling it worship. ‘Even soevery good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupttree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bringforth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth goodfruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewndown, and cast into the fire’ (Matthew 7:17-19).”Recently a Southern Baptist state association made a rulingthat churches supporting homosexuality are not welcome.That is commendable, as far as it goes, but why is immoraldancing in the name of worshipping a holy God any less49
