-----------January 31, 2007Mixing DefinitionsOver on the Yahoo Gospel Music group, there's a discussion about changing musical styles. Scotty asked the following question: But one question that I don't think has not been answered. Why do we have to change, why can't they come to us? Why are we the ones to be tolerant, when they won't tolerate us? Here's my reply: Let's take it from there. There's a huge difference between fulfilling the Great Commission and being tolerant. We have to change our methods, because the Great Commission says GO into the world. That's why they can't "come to us." We're commanded to go to them by relating the Gospel to them in terms they can understand. This has absolutely nothing to do with being tolerant. Tolerance would be telling them it's OK to live in sin, that nothing has to change in order to become a Christian. The message of the GOSPEL cannot be compromised. This is why you will see me pulling for gospel music to be widely heard, regardless of the style, but at the same time, you'll see me react with disgust to popular movements that compromise the gospel message in an effort to get more people into the church. Doing music in a style that the world can understand is not tolerance in the least. To suggest that Bill and Gloria are tolerant of sin because they do music in a style that sells is not accurate at all. Because when you look at it from the other angle, there's nothing about the musical style of Southern Gospel that makes it holy either. It's the lyrics that make SG special, just as the lyrics of Praise & Worship, Black Gospel, Bluegrass Gospel, Christian Pop, etc. all have a common ground. This is not tolerance. This is a diversification of assets. Labels: Observations posted by David Bruce Murray @ 9:40:00 AM
