Need of a Conference on Church-Music in
our Union in South Korea!
For a long time I have thought about this
and now I must say it. It was very clear to me that our church
has inroads form a music form that is not from our church. The youth music at
all levels of our schools, kindergarten, elementary school, Middle School,
Highschool and even university, even in the theology department, is not
following the standards of music for Adventism properly. There are various kinds of music in
Adventism. Music is the strongest tool Satan uses. The music was fine until
2015 or later, when youth music in the church took a serious turn. Professors at our University in Korea may
refine my observations better. Suddenly, the music that is sung by the
Yonsei Central Baptist Church make their presence among the youth on our
campus. Now they are dancing just like the group
in the Yonsei Central Baptist Church, at the Post-office on campus? Is it yoga, new-start health dancing or is
it the Yonsei Central Baptist Church religious twisting? The problems with music misused is when
the following tools are used: 1. Loud
acoustics 2. Overpowering
sounds 3. Repetitive
singing of the same refrain. 4. Encouraging
kinetics: raise hand, sway body, hallelujah, amen etc. 5. Trying
to create some kind of a mass-frenzy or mass hysteria of feelings until they
cry. This kind of music is popping-up in our
congregations in South Korea. How to solve this inroad of outside music
that is going to choke Adventism in future, and choke it is going to be because
youth cannot listen to older people style of music and older cannot listen to
younger styles of music. Why? Because youth is no longer singing
from the hymnals but Yonsei Central Baptist Church style of music. How to stop this dilemma. We need a Conference on Church-Music at
Sahmyook University of all the departments of the church in South Korea. We need the department of Education of the
Church calling all music teachers at all our institutions and choir leaders and
music players in church to come and listen to a series of seminars warning on
the danger of this outside music for our church. A principle needs to be spelled out that
all levels of education cannot teach the youth from any of the songs from these
outside churches. Secondly, they are only to use our church
hymnal for music education. Why? Youth needs to blend with their
parents in order to prepare to take the leadership from the parents when they
get older and carry the legacy along. The current youth music is a transitional
phase to ecumenism. That is the dilemma Adventists are going to face three
years from now on! And it is the youth who is going to insist
on this. To the shock of their passive older generation. That is why I call for a Conference on
this matter.
