MUSIC & ROCK IDOLS
Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan:
for it is written,
THOU SHALT WORSHIP THE LORD THY GOD,
AND HIM ONLY SHALT THOU SERVE
Jesus Christ, Matthew 4:10 (KJV) - Matthew Henry Commentary
KNOW YE NOT THAT THE UNRIGHTEOUS SHALL NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD?
BE NOT DECEIVED:
neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners,
SHALL INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD
1 Corinthians 6:9-10 (KJV) - Matthew Henry Commentary

THE CHILDREN OF DISOBEDIENCE
The very first of the Ten Commandments is to worship God and have no other gods before Him, for He is a jealous God (Exodus 20:1-5). Rock 'N' Roll music is all about idolatry—worshipping the body, sex, Satan, music and the Rock stars themselves!
MORTIFY THEREFORE YOUR MEMBERS WHICH ARE UPON THE EARTH;
fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness,
WHICH IS IDOLATRY:
FOR WHICH THINGS' SAKE
THE WRATH OF GOD COMETH ON THE CHILDREN OF DISOBEDIENCE:
In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them
Colossians 3:5-7 (KJV) - Matthew Henry Commentary
FOR THEY LOVED THE PRAISE OF MEN
Tragically, America is being woefully influenced today by the opinions of singers. It is no coincidence that we see rock idols getting involved into politics, working with the United Nations and incorporating brainwashing government propaganda into their music. Music is a spiritual medium, by which people are greatly influenced. America's youth are under Satanic attack like never before, and it is the duty of every Christian believer to expose the evils of Rock, Country, Rap and so-called Christian Rock.
FOR THEY LOVED THE PRAISE OF MEN
more than the praise of God
John 12:43 (KJV) - Matthew Henry Commentary Commentary
Whatever consumes most of your time, money, passion and devotion is your god. Some people idolize their car, sports, music, home, and materialistic items, etc. Their mind is busy thinking about their passions, their god all day; BUT, Jesus Christ is forgotten. This is modern day idolatry, and it is sin
Son of man,
THESE MEN HAVE SET UP THEIR IDOLS IN THEIR HEART,
and put the stumblingblock of their iniquity before their face:
should I be enquired of at all by them?
Ezekiel 14:3 (KJV) - Matthew Henry Commentary
Christians need to make sure to maintain the correct priorities in their Christian life. Matthew 6:33 plainly directs us to seek God FIRST in everything.
But seek ye FIRST the kingdom of God, and his righteousness;
and all these things shall be added unto you
Matthew 6:33 (KJV) - Matthew Henry Commentary
Few people truly love God. Very few believers live for Jesus Christ, having their treasure in Heaven.
FOR ALL SEEK THEIR OWN,
not the things which are Jesus Christ's
Philippians 2:21(KJV) - Matthew Henry Commentary
Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt,
and where thieves break through and steal:
BUT LAY UP FOR YOURSELVES TREASURES IN HEAVEN,
where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt,
and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
The light of the body is the eye:
if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness.
If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!
NO MAN CAN SERVE TWO MASTERS:
for either he will hate the one, and love the other;
or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other.
YE CANNOT SERVE GOD AND MAMMON
Matthew 6:19-24 (KJV) - Matthew Henry Commentary
"The Word of God plainly teaches that a person's heart will be where their treasure is also at. Most people have their heart in the wrong place. Many people's heart is in their materialistic possessions or some vain earthly pursuit." -David J. Stewart
For where your treasure is,
THERE WILL YOUR HEART BE ALSO
Matthew 6:21(KJV) - Matthew Henry Commentary
Is God first in your life? As Christians we must learn to give glory to God. To glorify God is to be thankful and honor Him with praise, admiration, and worship in everything! The more we abide in the Scriptures and spend time walking with the Lord, the more bold we will become in our faith in Him. By doing good works as born-again Christians, we cause others to glorify God. Matthew 5:16, “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.”
For ye are bought with a price:
THEREFORE GLORIFY GOD IN YOUR BODY,
AND IN YOUR SPIRIT,
which are God's
