The Current Need

The emergent need of the present moment is for those in the church to take a stand. This includes very much church musicians. My research indicates there has been a planned effort to undermine the American democratic and republican government. (The un-capitalized words are intentional here.) Not completely unlike the early days of the Hitler regime in the 1930s, these days demand each person to take a stand. Will we in the church acquiesce in the attack upon fundamental American institutions or will we take a stand? Will we self-censor while music and theology are "dumbed down" or will we stand up in opposition? As the days go by, I plan to give evidence for the assertion that the American executive is essentially fascist in nature. To many, this will not be news at all. To others it will be surprising. To a few it will cause enragement. In any event, this web log will seek to be scholarly, but not pedantic, sober but not passionless, useful but not merely utilitarian.

Thus, onward toward enlightenment and hope.
