Ps 37:25 I have been young, and now am old; yet have I
not seen the righteous forsaken, nor hisseed begging
bread.
DAVID SAID
I have been young, and now am old; I have been taught bythose before me what caused the apostasy in the 1800s and
what would cause it again in the 1900s.
I have lived to see they were correct and, as David passed
his experience on, I want to pass that same information on
to you for the 2000s
TODAY I AM SAYING
IF YOU ARE UNDER 50
YOU HAVE NEVER LIVED
THROUGH THOSE DAYS

My generation quit preaching

societies & Bible authority so your
generation will have another division.
The really disturbing part was a statement made by Ron Cook, a
member of the Community Church of Christ, who predicted that the
music issue in churches of Christ will fade away once the present
generation of youth in the church reaches maturity and begins toassume roles of leadership. He said, Instrumental music is already a
part of youth events that happen at churchesteenagers love Christian
music. Music is a fact of live. Its inevitable.

OVER THE PAST TWENTY YEARS SOME CHURCHES OF
CHRIST HAVE ADOPTED INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC FROM
THE PROTESTANT CHURCHES
THE PROTESTANT CHURCHES ADOPTED IT FROM THE
CATHOLIC CHURCHES EVEN THOUGH ALL THEIRFOUNDERS OPPOSED IT VEHEMENTLY
THE CATHOLIC CHURCH ADOPTED IT WHEN THE
POPE WAS GIVEN A WHITE PIANO ABOUT 1100 YEARS
AFTER THE CHURCH BEGAN. THE POPE FINALLY DIDINTRODUCE IT INTO THEIR SERVICES AFTER HE HAD
THE INSTRUMENT FOR A WHILE.
USING INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC IN WORSHIPWAS
NEVER MENTIONED IN THE BIBLE AND WAS NEVER
USED BY NEW TESTAMENT CHRISTIANS.
INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC WAS NEVER USED BY ANYWHO CLAIMED TO BE CHRISTIANS FOR 1100 YEARS.
