If you’ve ever wondered if the biblical-sounding lyrics of your favorite popular worship song is appropriate for your flock on a Sunday morning, be sure to check out our latest White Paper, Bethel, Hillsong, Elevation Worship Music.
This latest resource page includes a very concise format to help you and your church leaders examine not just the lyrics but the source of worship songs sung in church.
As simply as possible, I’ve attempted to compile and categorize five of the biggest reasons not to bring in songs from Bethel, Hillsong and Elevation to a church sanctuary. I hope churches will find this explanation helpful. I’ve included hundreds of sources and links for further research, but as always with our White Papers, the final say must always come from God’s Word.
Don’t want to send your leaders and friends a link? Good news: there’s now a downloadable PDF you can print and share with your church. Check it out on our Bethel, Hillsong, Elevation Worship Music White Paper.
I will be so happy when you get that printable PDF resource available! Here are my thought on Bethel:
If you add the letter “L” and subtract the letter “B” from bethel. You get “lethel” even though the word is misspelled—it sounds the same if you pronounce it “lethal”!!! They are spiritually lethal!
My husband is the pastor of a church where we have paid a tremendous price to delete bethel music from our worship —and have taken a stand to keep the truth of the Word of God. What “battle” it has been to keep people on the straight and narrow. It’s a spiritual pandemic out there. People want that “high” and are constantly seeking a fix for their addiction. It has stunned us how many church people are biblical illiterate.
Hi Cathi,
The downloadable PDF is available! It’s in the link above in the White Paper.
