is very common today in Christian rock music scene, bands that are interested almost only promote their music, CD or tour. Maybe loose around a Christ loves you, or a Bible verse and forget the most important thing is to preach the word of God and gospel of repentance. It is also common to see bands that play only if you give a good gift or for the "mobility." biblically
To begin there is no "music ministry to evangelize" the Bible only talks about music for worship,
1Cr 15:16 And David spake to the chief of the Levites to appoint singers among his brethren, with instruments, with lyres, harps and cymbals, to get them to resonate with joy. 1Cr 15:22
Chenaniah, chief of the Levites in the, was put to lead the singing, because I was skilful.
1Cr 16:42 And with them Heman and Jeduthun, they had trumpets, cymbals and other musical instruments to accompany singing to God. Jeduthun children were porters.
1Cr 25:6 They were all under the direction of his father's in the house of the LORD, with cymbals, harps and harps, for the ministry of God's temple. Asaph, and Heman Jeduthun by order of the king. 2Cr 5:13
sounded, then the trumpets and sang together, praising and thanking the Lord. It happened that while they raised their voices to the sound of trumpets, cymbals and other musical instruments, and praised the Lord saying, "Because he's good, because his mercy endureth for ever", a cloud filled the house , the Lord's house.
2Cr 7:6 The priests exercise their ministry, while the Levites praised the Lord with instruments that King David had made to accompany the singing of the Lord, "for his mercy endureth for ever", singing the songs composed by David. The priests blew the trumpets before them, and all Israel was still standing. Psalm 150:1
Praise God in his sanctuary;
praise him in his mighty firmament.
Jesus when he communicated the gospel to the multitudes singing ever did, he gave the word and that word of the Holy Spirit was the conviction of sin.
direct Word like John the Baptist:
Matthew 3:2 and saying, "Repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand ', or the same
Jesus
Matthew 4:17 From that time Jesus began to preach, saying: "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand!".
Today we are moving ever further away from the true gospel and we are taking strategies using music, theater, video, etc. with emphasis on personal motivation and the exaltation of the ego and not in the scriptures. Jesus never used the only strategy was the word, telling the truth "people need to repent and turn to God"
Every time I talk with the bands before beginning a concert I say this and say them again again and again: "The music does not save people from hell. The music does not change lives. The music does not produce repentance but the word is exposed and the conviction of sin is given by the Holy Spirit, not the guitar strings. "Thinking that a lot of iron onto the stage singing songs, ready their equipment and go home or to another concert served God and preaching the gospel, when they did was nothing.
Imagine that a relative is terminally ill and after long hours of waiting out the doctor who treats ready to give you the news directly, serious and bluntly, the physician's role is to tell the truth about the patient's situation, he never would use strategies, nor would he use an orchestra or a drum or a touchingly celestial music to tell you what I have to say, you just transmit the truth, I have only
tell the truth of the gospel to people, what they need to know and do.
When we face in the crowd the concert, I make sure that everyone knows that music is just an excuse to talk about the Gospel, (it should not be hard to deal with a musician unless this is not really Christian and understand the purpose you have). Art in general is a to draw attention, if we catch people in a local sense, since then we take the opportunity to break the news. If we do not and we give more importance to everything else and not the Word, we end up deviating from the true gospel and its real meaning. Do not fill our churches filled with people so emotional or promises of success and prosperity "accept Christ" most of these people coming through the arts and human strategies and not by the preaching of the Word and action supernatural Holy Spirit, or end up going very soon vanish from the map.
