Yesterday we had yet another church experience. The church we tried had ROCK-CONCERT-LOUD music. We tried four (that’s 4) churches the Sunday before and they each had ROCK-CONCERT-LOUD music. We also tried a church where the music was not too loud, and the message was reasonably good, but we know the people there. We know they disapprove of what we do - - have a glass of wine in the evening, and perhaps a glass of beer when we dine out.
So in many churches you can not have contemporary music and must refrain from alcohol, even though there is no danger of becoming an alcoholic. And in many others you can have contemporary music IF you are willing to damage yourself, that is your sense of hearing.
I’ll add another comment:
I have never found that Rock-and-Roll or Jazz music had driven me to
illicit sex, or to drugs, or to drinking, or to terrorist actions, or even to
disobeying my Mother.
