<p>Secular, pagan, and even occult musical styles have crept into the church, all dressed up with new Christian lyrics. Old, traditional hymns - tried and true - have been thrown on the scrap heap of church history. This is even more true with the recent influx of Purpose Driven churches in America. Naively, pastors, music directors, and younger members of congregations have unknowingly embraced musical styles that can have spiritually negative effects on their listeners. Dr. Jack Wheaton, composer and instrumentalist, masterfully covers the deterioration in music in today's church, and gives recommendations to fix the problem. . .before it is too late!</p>

<p>Music is the universal langueage. Music can be unerstood and felt by all humanity. You don't have to be Russian to enjoy Tchaikovsky, or Iralian to enjoy puccini, or American to enjoy the music of Gershwin. Although there are some musical styles that are more difficult to relate to, we can still sense the emotional content in most instances and react pleasurable to it. Music is part of all of life's celebratons- birth, marriages, graduations, military service, college, national anthems, holidays, and even death. Music is always there to confort, console, inspire, lift up, entertain, and bring joy and reflection. Music can bring a tear to the eye, or a smile. Music can trigger long-buried memories. All of life's major events are made more meaningful by music. The practitioners of music are more than artists; they are also alchemists. They help to make life bearable; they aid in advancing the cause of freedom; and they can actually minimize emotional and physical pain. And that is only the beginning of the amazing power of music.</p>
