LOL that is so cool Barbara 8) and I too love music! ;D

It really is a huge advantage to know that God's will is for us to be like and as His Son who PLEASES Him in all His Ways, Thoughts and Purposes. When we look at what WE prefer we can know how far we have to go!....sort of :D

Musicman,

     Brother, I can relate to your dillema. I too played in the worship teams in Babylon. And what I've realized about myself back then (before I was introduced to the truth) is that I was caught up in it all. I'm 27 years old, I played in worship bands from about 23-25. So I can say "well, I was younger back than", but the fact remains that the spirit was there that made it difficult to always be totally about God. I remember making it a proiority to try to stay humble, but sometimes feeling no different than when I played secular music in secular venues.

You know your heart and where you are with the Lord, my brother. But as Craig posted IF indeed you are struggling, it may be a sign. But ultimatley that is between you and the Father, and whaterver His will is for you, and you know we will not judge you. As for me, I still write songs for the Lord, but He has not reveled totally what I am to do with them. I desire to put out a cd of songs with lyrics inspired with God's truth. And for any musician that temptation will always be there to take glory for themselves, so I'm thankful for this post. We will be praying for you brother, and I ask that you pray for me as well as all other musicians who have this decision to face. My prayers are with you all.

God Bless

Well I'm still in the process of writing and tweeking songs. It's been pressed on my heart for a while. I have a mini recorder that I'm using to fine tune the songs. But once it is ready, I'll let you guys know. Then I'll have to tweek my computer skills  :) so that it's free to download. It will not be for sale.

--- Quote from: musicman on March 23, 2008, 04:55:04 PM ---I was just interested in the oppinions of others here on an issue.  As my title suggests, I am a musician.  I take musical performance very personal as monetary compensation comes in at a distant second, to the opportunity of playing music.  Afterall, I pay my bills in a field having little to do with musical skill (I teach music to children). 

The problem (if that is the proper term) is in my dealings with Babylon.  See, as a musician it is unwise to refuse work.  This includes work involving the Babylonian church system.  For instance, today (Easter Sunday) I played two services at a church and made some cash.  I also played in an Easter Pagent last week.  Now, I cringe at the thought of serving the Synogogue of Satan but I feel that this is part of being an instrumental performer (which I most definately am).  Now it's one thing to attend church out of curiosity for what may be taught there these days.  It's another thing to serve them for musical exposure or monetary gain. 

I would like any oppionions that truth seekers here may provide on this subject.

So I was drinkin the coolaid when. . . . . . . .god showed up again.  he said "Musicman, you must go play your instrument again this year at a church".  I says, but god, I've grown so much since last year, why go back to Babylon for the root of all evil (and fun) . . . .money?  he said, "u can use the money to buy me more of the tasty coolaid i tried a few months ago".  "But you have an assignment, and that assignment is to play as awfully as you humanly can".  "When the organist gives the cue, you call the cows home, you blow sounds that the devil himself hums in the shower."  "That'll get them people running from the darkness of Babylon to seek light."  "What i mean is they'll be running from that thing you play."


So folks, I was obeying a command from god.  UUuuummmm, except I played awsomely and that money's buying me, more coolaid.  god, I've failed ya again.
