Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are
passed away; behold, all things are become new. 2 Corinthians 5:17
"On Sabbath, May 27, 2023, starting at 5:00 p.m., the Beacon Light
Tabernacle Seventh-day Adventist Church in Wappingers Falls, NY, hosted
the 27th Anniversary celebration of God’s Hands, a Seventh-day Adventist
music and dance ministry. The concert included a variety of dance
performances as well as secular songs by artists like Janet Jackson,
such as “What Have You Done for Me Lately?” and the rap group Naughty by
Nature’s “You Down with OPP.”
The rap lyrics were changed from “You
Down with OPP?” to “You Down with G-O-D?” and Janet Jackson’s song was change to “What Have you done for Him Lately?”
Q: When we play worldly rap beats and have young people imitating rappers
in church, who are we worshiping? Our holy Creator?
Q: When we use Janet
Jackson’s music and dance to it in church, who is glorified? God?
Q: Which
God?
**When we come to Christ, the old cultures are passed away, and we become
new creatures with new desires, new feelings, new attitudes, and new
purposes in a new heavenly culture that’s based on purity and holiness.
All things become new while all the old things pass away. We don’t mix
the old with the new."
