Testing Music In The Church DVD Set
   
 This Testing Music in the Church 2-DVD set is a message based on these articles:  Testing Music In The Church, Testing Music In The Church-Part 2, and  Worship Song Ratings.

Too many churches today are allowing music to be used in their services that is not glorifying to the Lord and can actually be a hindrance to the teaching of sound doctrine. Pastors and leaders should be using their leadership role to test what is being played and sung in their churches. Though some are quick to test preaching and teaching from their pulpits, many ignore the music being used in the same services. This is a tragic mistake. Music is a powerful medium. It is something that effects deeply the body, mind and emotions. It is a proven fact that music often stays with a person far longer than what is taught or preached. Songs roam around in our heads, especially if the melody appeals to us. What is often overlooked is the serious impression music makes on people, and the teaching they are getting over and over again as they allow the song to repeat in their minds and on their lips. Music teaches things much more subtly yet sometimes far more effectively. That's why the lyrical content of music in the church, as well as its effect on the spiritual lives of those who perform and listen, should be vigorously examined by the leaders of the church.  This is a 2-DVD set.

Great deception
is afoot in the churches today, happening right before our very eyes. In fact, it may have already come to your church. False doctrines, a different gospel, and even doctrines of demons have been introduced into many churches via books, music, videos, teachers and movements that claim to be of God. Please read the articles on this site from a wide variety of denominations and authors on the subject of deception in the church before you encourage anyone from your church to go to meetings where false teachers claim to be able to transfer the Holy Spirit by the laying on of hands and subsequently soften people up to receive false doctrines, which can ultimately shipwreck their faith or prevent them from ever coming to salvation in Christ. Since the linked articles on these pages are from a wide variety of sources, we do not necessarily agree with every word contained in them. In general, however, they do represent good Scriptural apologetics on the subject of the current "Third Wave" or "New Apostolic Reformation" movement and other unbiblilcal groups. If you have already seen negative fruit from these movements, or if you have other doctrinal objections to any extra Biblical group mentioned on this site ... or have any other comment  ... your comments are welcome. Please contact us by emailIt is hoped that this page will (a) alert Christians worldwide to deception in the church (b) provide resources for discernment, judging rightly, and testing the spirits (c) bring many believers back to obedience to Jesus Christ and the written Word from which all Christian doctrine and teaching should be derived and (d) promote the preaching of the gospel of Jesus Christ to the ends of the earth which "is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes" (Rom. 1:16), not a gospel of signs and wonders.  
 

     If you want to keep up to date with what's happening in the "Third Wave" and the latest resources available on this site, please bookmark the  "What's New!" page and visit it often.

Your Support Is Key! 
Dear All,

Your continued support of this ministry is key to our ability to reach people all over the world with the truths of God's Word!
 
I want to thank those of you who have continued to pray for us and support us with your gifts and orders.  That is what enables us to continue this vital ministry.  Apologetics Coordination Team has people all over the world who have been helped by our website and newsletters.  We currently have between 1-2 million hits per month on the site.  We continue to get good reports of changed lives.  We also get our share of criticism and outright persecution.  But the Lord has been faithful and I know many of you have been praying for us and some have halped financially. 

We have had a number of expenses this past month such as repair of my video production computer, taxes (thanks to Obama), added fees and an ever increasing cost of living here in the islands. 

I really need your help right now! 

I need to ask again that you prayerfully consider giving to this ministry.
  Please consider ordering one of our products or making a donation.  Simply follow the guidelines on the donation link if you wish to help support this ministry.  As always, you can see the DITC e-Newsletter archive here and sign up to receive this newsletter or unsubscribe there as well.

Let us uphold one another in prayer, in encouragement and in information on what is going on in the churches.  I thank the Lord for those of you who are modern day Bereans. May the Lord continue to bless you as you practice discernment and help others to become mature in Christ.  As a number of discernment ministries are shutting down, we will continue, as long as the Lord allows, to provide the churches with the materials and analysis necessary to navigate the world and the apostasy in many churches by teaching exegetically from the Scriptures.

May the Lord richly bless you as you consider helping us out during this time of need.

In His hands,
Sandy Simpson

ACT Worship Song Ratings

by Sandy SimpsonACT Logo 2
Apologetics Coordination Team

This Worship Song Ratings page is here to help churches, pastors and worship leaders in choosing music for their churches.  The ratings on this page are based solely on the lyrics of the songs we have rated, not the music.  Music is a subjective thing for most people and hard to rate for everyone.  But the lyrical content can be rated as to how well it upholds Biblical teachings ... or not.  Our ratings are based on a four star system.
