"Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God."

Well done Blessed Kateri Tekakwitha. You've finished the race.
Thank you SA for these important articles about the Roman Catholic Church. Well all need a hero, especially since the days are evil.
Saint Kateri, pray for us.

"The Christian Coalition said Depp and his band mates 'will burn in hell for this filth.'" So will we all burn in hell for the simple fact that we were born fallen sinners in need of saving, in need of redemption. We have all fallen short of the glory of God. It always amazes me when Christians are so quick to judge those on the outside who are still enemies of God but will not hold each other, and ourselves, accountable for actions which are directly disobedient to God and His Word.

I pray that Johnny Depp and his bandmates will come to a place of realizing their sin and grieving over it. I pray they will repent and turn to Jesus Christ who is in the business of redeeming lost sinners.

Being one of several commentators here on SermonAudio, I have refreined from posting until I read yours.
I cannot speak for others but for me I desired not to post and bring KJV Onlyism into this discussion and make it appear anyone who holds to the KJV might somehow be like these reprehensible twisted Baptists in Kentucky.
God's very best to your whole family

Sometimes you just want to tell people like this not to broadcast their supposed Christianity. This is not the heart of Jesus. Shhhh, don't tell anyone you are (supposedly) a follower of Jesus. It makes people think that the rest of us are uneducated, undiscerning, unloving, unscriptural bigots, too.

What style/kind/era of music is "holy" I'd like to know. To say that a certain style or certain hymns or songs is the "holy music" is, I think, offensive to God and shows an ignorance of the mission of Jesus...seeking and saving the lost. It is an extremely worldly thought that certain songs are "holy" and others are not.

Let's examine the message of the song, not the instrumentation or the style of the music behind it.

"Walk in wisdom toward those who are outside, redeeming the time. Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one." (Colossians 4:5-6)

Jesus' harsh words were for the Pharisees who should have known better, who should have known Him. Paul, also, on Mars Hill spoke with grace and reason to those worshipping false gods; to Peter, who should have known better, he spoke harshly, rebuking him.

"Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ's behalf, be reconciled to God." (2 Corinthians 5:20)

What?! Not only is this very bad science, it is downright untidy sloppy logic. Oh the lengths man will go to in order to deny God.
