If my memory serves me correctly, I think he said a little bit more about his kids as it related to this kind of thing sometime else. Did you listen to the whole interview that I linked to so that people could check it out themselves?<br /><br />Also, the sense I had was that the kids of these folks are listening to it. Does that sound wrong?Kent Brandenburghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13419354741455959191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20213892.post-5591730756651401062014-04-17T08:44:09.619-07:002014-04-17T08:44:09.619-07:00To be fair, when Todd Friel was saying that his ki...To be fair, when Todd Friel was saying that his kids listened to it, I'm fairly confident he was playing the devil's advocate. In other words, there was an implied "hypothetically speaking, if I were a parent who's kids loved this stuff..." At least that is what I got from it, and I watched that portion of the video several times before posting this just to be sure I wasn't misinterpreting what he said.

I listened to one where they were discussing music (some time in the past) and MacArthur's comment was something like (paraphrase!) 'I don't like it, but it seems to engage the young people' so he tolerated it. (please note, I am paraphrasing, not quoting). I can't find that one anymore - should have saved it the first time I heard it<br /><br />Maranatha!<br />Don Johnson<br />Jer 33.3Don Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03332212749734904541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20213892.post-69946823299856916752013-10-19T09:20:17.841-07:002013-10-19T09:20:17.841-07:00Any form of rock music is a gateway into more radi...Any form of rock music is a gateway into more radical forms of music. If you listen to CCM, then secular rock is less offensive. If you have CCM on your iPod, you probably have secular rock on it as well. The two go hand in hand.

It took courage for him to do it and it was right. <br /><br />It was amazing that they did in fact trace music as the pivotal aspect. This was the gateway to the movement was the music. When they ask how it happens, it is the music. And then they describe the music, and they are describing a big chunk of their music.<br /><br />I hope all is well with you, Paul.

That took some courage and it was the right thing to do. <br /><br />However, I also agree with Kent that this is MacArthur's 2 Samuel 12:5 moment when he attacks an evil he himself is openly guilty concerning. I was interested listening to a conversation with Phil Johnson and MacArthur over Iain Murray's criticism in his autobiography over MacArthur's worship styles in Grace CC. MacArthur never addressed the criticism but tried to portray it as some extreme exclusive Psalmody fringe opinion.

They'll complain about this and that, but in the end they'll ultimately side with the very people and principles they groused about.<br /><br /><br />tjp<br /><br />tjpAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
