David, his
wife and I
Most Christians don't know
very well that heavy metal rock music can glorify the Lord. At New Zealand,
Youth With A Mission, the Disciple Training School I attended invited No Longer
Music lead singer David came to give a week of lessons, we students went to the
city center for two days to invite young people to the tavern to listen to
heavy metal rock music, David and his band sang in bars or pubs all over the
world, many taverns or bars because the people who came were all converted,
recently the places changed to the churches, because Jesus is the Lord of the
resurrection, He is always doing new things.
The first time I served
with a member of an orchestra who didn't have permanent music, I was so nervous
that I kept going to the toilet because I saw that the male members were all
long hair shawls, and I was very scared, and when we joined them in their long
battles and prayers, and saw the glory of God on their faces, they became the
appearance of young people in the West, but they had the heart of Jesus in
them, and they wrote their own songs, all of which were fast versions of gospel
songs, expressed in rock and pop music.
David would ask young
people, "Is sex good?" and the young people would reply,
"Yes!" but the lyrics said that God's creativity is good, but not
premarital sex. They performed a skit of the resurrection of Jesus, and a
brother in the group was hung upside down to play the guitar for 20 minutes,
and their amusing speech, or act, or sing to attract young people were often
the key to saving people's souls.
The pop group was named
after the fact that there is no longer music, because they believed that the
music in heaven was permanent and that there would be a day when the earth
would fade away. Although I am not a fan of heavy metal rock, I have come to
understand what the Apostle Paul said that in order to win souls, he must be
like them, and that this band will never have a member go to a bar alone, but
as a Christian band, in some dark tavern, the Lord will win souls like fishes.
The head of the mission, David, said, "Without prayer, there is no ministry, and there is no evangelism. Have we prayed for others, and what kind of evangelistic tools have been used to become the results of our evangelism, which is worth pondering?
