my brothers and sistas
Yesterday I was in a music store shop for a MO8 to buy, the saleman say me a question like where do i play at, how long I began playing, and what kinda of music I play, I told him gospel on the piano and jazz on my Axe ( my tromebone). The next thing came out his mouth shock me to the point i didn't buy anything out that store. Gospel musician are not real musician all we do is play by ear some of us don't known how to read music. We don't know how to play beethoven Piaon Sanata No .14 in C-sharp, all we do is ruin good gospel sound by adding worldly music to it, like rap and hip-hop.
I explain to him the gospel music is still the same just with a little updated beats. he said the Jesus didn't have to change his ministry to reach those who was lost, so why do gospel music have to sound like worldly music to what some my said reach the youth. I told him from the 70's to the 80's gospel music had change and from the 80's to the 90's it change also so.
But, before I can finish he quote Roman 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect will of God. than quoted 2 Cor 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Chirst, he is a new creature: olds things ate passed away; behold, all things are become new*
He said thats for the Bible, Gods words, so why gospel musicians don't obey his word, i couldn't say a word, he saying how can gospel musicians can save souls by mixing Snoop Dog with Yolanda Adams, that is not pure gospel music. I told him if i play mary have a little lamb and I'll paly it for the Lord, I'll prayer he will honor it. he said How the Lord going to honor gospel music you mix worldly music that called ladies B's,that promote selling drugs, and killing each other. I was mad. he said the church want to be like the world and gospel Artist, Musician, and Preacher all in it for the money. he was dumbing all this on me!!
I was there to buy a board. he said how any time he heard keyboard/piano players comes in the store and talks about how much they make playing at this church and that church. he say a local keys player to play at his church. the frist thing the keys player say to him that charger $200. for one day and he don't play for small ministry. he end it by saying this (Jesus have all power to heal the sick, raise the dead, and perform all kinds a miracles, but did he charger anyone. No)
So why do gospel artist, Preacher and musicians think they can put a price on talents or gift God have giving them to save his people. i thought about what he said; is this the image the church he on the world today
