I am the mother of 8 (#9 is due in 3 months) and our teenaged children are needing more direction in this area.<br />I thank you for sharing. I am also planning on stopping in once in awhile to read your blog...what I read today gave me hope for my children.

Hamilton's music mimics CCM, is doctrinally shallow, and is sentimental/emotional rather than giving God glory and reverence. Their Majesty songbook takes a lot of liberties with good hymns in order to obtain Garlock copyrights such as rearranging or rewriting music to good hymns such as Tell Me The Story of Jesus by Fanny Crosby. The songbook also contains CCM songs written for and performed by Keith Green, etc. It appears that the Garlocks are more interested in the music industry/business rather than glorifying God even though they may espouse all the correct things.<br /><br />Music in my opinion is the, or definitely one of the easiest ways for Satan to get into a church and turn its focus from glorifying God to focusing on self. As Garlock said music is a powerful means of communication and it can also be very deceiving.<br /><br />If the line is fuzzy or "grey", then stay far from it in the church. The congregation ought to be able to joyfully sing God honoring hymns without any doubt.Joe Murphynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5124069559368331215.post-49122655823642236552010-02-23T09:05:37.724-08:002010-02-23T09:05:37.724-08:00Our family has had it on VHS for awhile.
