6 Signs Your Pastor is a WOLF in Sheep’s Clothing (Run!)
They say music is the language of the soul. That may be true, but if the soul is unanchored in truth, then the song becomes a weapon in the hands of the enemy. The modern church is a wash in emotionally driven, doctrinally shallow, and biblically incorrect worship music. And worse, many believers don’t even know it.
Because in this generation, feeling good has replaced being grounded. Worship has been turned into therapy, not theology. Let me ask you plainly. Do you know what you’re singing? Or are you just swaying to a melody that sounds spiritual but says nothing of God’s nature, nothing of his holiness, nothing of his wrath, nothing of his justice, and often nothing of the gospel.
So many of the songs we hear in churches today are not about the glory of God. They’re about the emotions of the singer. You walk into a worship service, the lights are dim, the fog machines are working, and the music starts playing. And then come the lyrics. I need you. I want you. I feel you. I’m desperate for you. I’m falling. I’m broken.
Over and over again. I I I I. And by the end of it, you’re left wondering, who exactly is this about? Because it sounds like the worshipper is the main character, not God. The problem with much of modern worship is that it’s man-c centered, not god- centered.
It’s emotionalism draped in religious language designed to make us feel something, not to exalt the one who is worthy of all praise. Biblical worship is not about how we feel. It’s about who God is. But today, we’ve flipped it upside down. We’ve put man at the center of the song and moved God to the background. We sing about how much we long for him, but not about how holy he is.
We cry about how much we need his love, but rarely declare his justice, his wrath, his sovereignty, or his righteousness. Worship has become a mirror instead of a window. Instead of looking through it to see God, we’re looking into it and singing about ourselves. Let’s be honest. Many of these songs could be sung to a boyfriend or girlfriend and they’d still make sense. That should deeply concern us.
