SAFEGUARDING THE SANCTUARY:
Guarding Against Cultural Trojan Horses in Christian Worship
When Jude wrote about "our common salvation," he also felt compelled to appeal that we "contend earnestly for the faith which was once and for all handed down to the saints." Jude was troubled by individuals who had "crept in unnoticed" - a reference to false teachers and false teachings.
Our current church generation is probably the most scripturally unaware since the Reformation. People not having a solid understanding of God's Word fall easy prey to articulate, personable individuals who nonetheless offer false theological doctrine and ideas. The post-modern questioning and even denial of absolute Truth often slips into the hallowed halls of churches by way of "positive upbeat music" that promotes and fulfills a felt-needs, entertainment paradigm often clothed in para-Christian lyrics. Such music is both lyrically and musically devoid of the qualities that reinforce the purpose of worship, and can easily allow secular, worldly viewpoints into sanctuaries. Here, Donn provides solid scriptural support for safeguarding the sanctuary against such benign-appearing offerings.
