Music is so much a part of our lives. We are constantly exposed to its influences on a daily basis. Loud beats, clever melodies, catchy lyrics, all draw us into its arena and reinforce what behaviourists have always known: music is powerful. Its influence has a profound effect—to impact hearts and minds—whether for good or for bad.
The ancient Greek philosopher Plato recognised the power of music when he said, “when the music changes, the walls of the city shake.” Music is more powerful than any drug, for it has the capacity to steer culture itself and influence shared values and behaviours.
It’s hardly surprising then that Satan seeks to control the secular music industry in order to erode morality and shape lives for his purposes. As Christians, we need to be aware of this and of the negative impact a lot of modern music has on us. This goes beyond song lyrics and concerns the ‘spiritual dimension’ of music, requiring that we are both biblically and spiritually discerning with the kinds of music we listen to.
Topics covered include:
The Historical Roots of Modern Music
An Examination of the Power of Music
The Spiritual Dimension of Music
The Occultic Dimension of Modern Music
The Sexual Dimension of Modern Music
The Need for Discernment
Jeremy’s presentation will especially benefit music aficionados, youth and youth-workers, parents with teens and pre-teens, as well as those who wish to better understand the modern music industry.
* Please note that this presentation contains some subject matter of a confronting nature.
** Please also note that this presentation is an ‘expose’ of “modern secular music” in all its forms, which doesn’t include contemporary Christian or popular worship music.
