  1. Increasingly, I find the world’s standards invading the Church, and being embraced. I have not read or studied Mr Chick’s work. But I am acutely aware of the invasion of the word’s excuse for “music” (using that term in the loosest possible sense). What the world calls “music” is actually an addictive racket that creates a physiologic state called antihomeostasis. Homeostasis is the state of optimal functioning of the human body. So its opposite, as implied, would be a state that promotes ill-health. The world’s “music” as adopted by many churches today, does precisely that. It elevates the adrenalin and cortisol levels, not enough to be felt by most, but enough that the body becomes addicted to that level, and over time, immersion in that sound causes “stress related” diseases such as hypertension, cardiopulmonary disorders, connective tissue disorders (arthritis, and some auto-immune disorders as well): can that possibly be of God? Not the God I find in the Bible. But as Satan’s time grows short, and he knows it is, he’s attacking on all fronts, even deceiving the very elect, just as we were warned.

    • If what you say is true, regarding the so-called gospel music that is played in many churches, it is an absolutely incredible revelation. And it would provide yet another reason for the astronomical increase in mental health-related illness reported by many professed Christians. God willing, I plan to research this more, and, if the Spirit leads me, to report my findings. If there is any literature on this subject that you can point me to, I would be appreciate it.

      One small correction: Jesus said that “if it were possible,” the deception of these last days would fool the very elect (Matthew 24:24). It will never be possible, however, because Jesus said, “Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world” (1 John 4:4).

      God bless you, and thanks for your insights.
