Part Two: Out-Growth of Contemporary Music In The Worship. “Drum Circles”

Drum circles are growing in popularity in the religious communities across our nation. A drum circle is a group of people who get together to beat out rhythms on various types of drums and to be carried along by the interminable pounding beat. Drum circles are a logical outgrowth of the addiction to the rock and roll back beat, which is an integral part of contemporary Christian worship. The group Rhythm and Praise is dedicated to hosting drum circles and “rhythm events”. It is being used in children programs, worship services, family events and men and women groups.

Can you imagine the Lord Jesus, Peter and John sitting by the Lake of Galilee pounding away on drums in order to have a religious experience with God and the rest of the disciples dancing around and Matthew acting out as a mime to the message that morning. When one lets go of a strict commitment to the Bible as the sole authority for faith practice and rejects the biblical practice and examples as taught by the apostles, error will always follow (Romans 16:17; Ephesians 5:11) , there is no end tot he confusion that can result. Peter tells us to “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour” (I Peter 5:8).
