Some of the most popular worship music in the world are the songs of Hillsong, Jesus Culture, Bethel and Elevation. But each of these movements promotes deeply flawed theology and false caricatures of Jesus, leading many Christians to ask the question: should we use or refuse these songs?
Are Christians at liberty to sing theologically flawed lyrics? And, more specifically, can we sing songs that are theologically accurate, but written by artists who hold heretical beliefs?
This week, Peter, Aaron, and guest-hosts Tim Miller and Virginia Dyer talk about these modern worship movements, how their theology impacts their music, and whether Christians can sing these songs in good conscience, or should steer clear altogether.
“Either we have a Christian faith or we don’t. And if we do, there are boundaries that we don’t get to put in place. God has put these boundaries in place to define what Christianity is. And if we start singing songs that are outside of those boundaries, now we’re misrepresenting the faith to others, and more importantly, before the Lord. The Lord is not glorified through porous theology.” ~ Aaron Currin
