Kill’em and eat’em…

“Kill’em and eat’em” was part of the sermon our Music Minister delivered last night. Rather strange you may think, but it really stuck in my mind and drove the point home. He was talking about different styles of worship and different types of worship music. He used references from the Bible where Paul was given the opportunity to or the freedom to “kill and eat” the meat/animals set apart for sacrifices. He was told by God that he was not bound by the laws of the land…but if it was offensive to the people, he should refrain, but if it was acceptable to the people he was trying to minister to, then by all means, “Kill them and eat them!”

So the point of the sermon, was in our worship styles, especially the music, we should sing and play the music that reaches the heart of the people we are trying to bring to Christ. It shouldn’t matter what the beat of the music is as long as the message of the music is the same …The words must glorify Jesus Christ, sing of His love for us, His sacrifice for us, and bring glory to His name.

When a Contemporary Christian Band can draw over 800 people to the lawn of our church on a sweltering Saturday afternoon, I believe the “Kill’em and eat’em “ idea is working and we need to do more of it. Get out of your comfort zone and worship the Lord to whatever beat will bring the most lost souls to Christ!
