These pseudo artists are nothing but whitewashed tombs. They have a beautiful image, worked by their record companies and even a competent press office, but they are tools of the devil. The business is to make a lot of money, abusing the faith of the servants of Jesus Christ. Some gospel singers wear clothes similar to cabaret prostitutes.
The lyrics written by professional composers abuse the choruses, which in studio jargon are called “bubble gums”. In other words, a set of sentences that quickly penetrates the mind of the listener. Producers use keyboards, woodwinds and guitar solos, in a minor key, to convey a sense of sadness and reach the listener's feelings.
It is in this set that false prophets act. In Gospel music, true worshipers still resist in songs with spiritual lyrics and melodies. No theological errors. Completely attuned to the Heavens. The Holy Ghost testifies. When you hear something that brings you pain, bad thoughts, or sinful desires, throw the CD away. It's a message from the darkness in his house.

Secular labels go to great lengths to fill their coffers with cash. As they know that most evangelicals are terrified of piracy, they invest heavily in promoting artists. They present them as little lambs, without vices or that they do something wrong before the Lord.
But as a journalist, where I've been working for 34 years, I have correct information that this is not exactly how the wheel turns. In the case of women, some have sex with boyfriends or even lovers, drink, smoke, and others even use drugs such as cocaine.
Men, on the other hand, weigh heavily on the “sisters” who believe they are facing a true worshiper. After the presentation in the churches, from the pulpit they observe who will be the next victim of their small talk. It is nothing new that visits to the dressing room end up in the hotel room where they are staying.

We have reached the 21st century. The same thing that happened to the North American evangelical is happening to the Brazilian. Several denominations started to present their services as shows. They are more songs than the Word. And when preaching, pastors only bring sugar water. No talking about sin, not warning the flock about misconduct. Everything light.
They are the wolves sent by Satan quickly infiltrating among the evangelicals to distort the Gospel. The spiritual hymns of the Christian Harp are left aside, they are branded as outdated. Cool is a gospel hit that imitates the world even in the arrangements. All under the gospel stamp. It's gospel carnival, gospel pancadão, it's suffering (which in the 70's was called brega) gospel... ..
So my brothers, don't get me wrong for writing something so hard. But I prefer to please Jesus Christ and his Words of life, than something beautiful on the outside, but whose interior is full of garbage sent by Satan. It is up to conscientious evangelicals to open their eyes and realize that not all that glitters is gold. Stay alert with the Gospel songs you hear, find out who is that someone who recorded these songs.

Smart, the Globo group hired pastors, interested only in their image in the media, to explain which words circulate in the evangelical milieu, so that composers could write lyrics without scandalizing the flock. The CDs that come out of this You Adora label have nothing of adoration, just prank.
Globo's interest caught the attention of multinational record companies such as Sony, Universal (it has no connection with Edir Macedo) among others. All in the same scheme. Record Gospel songs to earn big money. For this, it does not matter that wolves dressed as lambs enter the houses of evangelicals with the image of excellent worshipers, when in fact they are just singers, competent in the art of releasing their voices, using lyrics of dubious content.
In the United States, which until the middle of the last century, had a great commitment to God, worship was something serious. People had reverence. But starting in the 1960s, the system realized that Gospel music was consumed by evangelicals. Begins the massification of worshiping God. Worshipers receive singing lessons, have clothes chosen by a fashion specialist, musicians (mostly secular) are hired to join the bands.

On the other hand, I am happy that the Word of Christ is showing the reality of a world that is increasingly committed to the enemies of our faith. A scholar in the art of Mass Communication, says that the System's great strategy is to make fashion, something that puts its survival at risk. This is done in different sectors of society.
If any bar begins to be successful selling a certain type of snack, soon the big chains will follow to imitate it and make that novelty something common. The same happens in the car market. An example of this was the jeep Troller, after having great success on a handcrafted assembly line until it was bought by Ford, which in this year 2021, took it out of line, killing an excellent vehicle.
Several evangelicals gave Glory to God when Rede Globo decided to create a label to record evangelical hymns. They didn't realize that it was the System investing money to make worship a fad, without any intimacy with Jesus Christ.

In Matthew 7:15, Jesus warns Christians against the rise of false prophets. He said, "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves." Today it has become fashionable to be evangelical. It's something top. The most disturbed person on the street, at school, at college, at the company now sells the image of a lamb to deceive the rest of the herd.
Gospel music is a terrain with a large number of false worshipers. Interested only in fame and money, without any commitment to Jesus Christ. When examining the lyrics of their songs, theological errors are visible. They're just self-help hits. Without any anointing. They have nothing to worship, just deception.
To complicate matters, they mix worship with idolatry. Without any reverence they use the pulpit of some denominations as a show house. It is as if worshiping Jesus Christ is something extremely commercial, to obtain achievements. Worship is something serious, it requires commitment and great commitment to God. It's not opening your mouth and just letting your voice go. It requires intimacy.

Or do you just use it for nonsense (the internet is full of them)? How many times have you prayed to God for forgiveness for your failures?
Don't make the mistake of entering your promised land anyway. If it is to glorify your name, satisfy your ego, leave your vanity on high, God will allow you to see the blessing, but not enjoy it.
Moses walked 80 years leading the people through the desert and in a hesitation, when he was close to reaching the destination promised by God, he faltered, became angry with the Lord and lost his place in the line.
Maybe that's your case. You have been walking with the Lord for a long time, but you have wavered too much, being irresponsible to God. Open your eyes. What happened to Moses and Aaron can happen to you.
Do not exchange your salvation and dwelling in Gloria for anything in this world!

How is your intimacy with God? Do you have more time for the world than for the Lord?
Did the pleasures of the world take Jesus' place in your heart? Has money become your master?
He comes first, as do social media, world music, indecent clothing, swearing, threats to his family, the short fuse in traffic, putting other drivers and pedestrians at risk. Death wishes to your boss and co-workers, do you harm your children, wife, husband verbally and physically, are you a Christian only inside the church, outside of it are you the same as a demon-possessed person?
Don't you have more time for God? How many times have you used this Whatsapp to tell someone about Jesus?

In Deuteronomy 1/34-7, the Lord makes Moses climb Mount Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, before Jericho, and from there, from on high, God showed all the land of Canaan from Gilead to the city of Dan, in the North. And the whole region of Naphtali, the territory of Ephraim and Manasseh, all the land of Judah as far as the western sea, the Mediterranean; the Negev, the southern lands and the entire region that goes from the valley of Jericho, the city of Palmeiras, to Zoar.
And in verse 4 of this text the Lord said to Moses: "This is the land which I swore to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, when I said to them, I will give this land to your seed. Therefore, behold, I make you see it with thine own eyes, yet it shall not cross the river (in this case the Jordan), thou shalt not enter it."
So Moses, the servant of the Lord, died there, in Moab, as God had commanded. He was 120 years old. My brother and sister meditate on this Word.
Many imagine that they will enjoy the promised blessings and after hearing the song by Marquinhos Gomes, who has a promise from God, does not die before it is fulfilled.
If you don't rebel, they will come true in your life. Otherwise you will die without entering the so dreamed of promised land. So it was with Aaron and Moses, two great men of God.

The Peace of the Lord to all. Let us be careful about our actions. In Numbers 12/27/15, the Lord warns Moses that he will die, as well as his brother Aaron, as both rebelled together with the community of Israel in the waters of the desert of Zin.
In this passage, Moses and Aaron disobeyed God by not honoring His Holiness before the people.
What stands out in this text is God telling Moses to contemplate the land that the Lord had promised to the people of Israel, where milk and honey flow. And the Lord said, as written in verse 13, "And having beheld him, thou shalt be gathered unto thine, like Aaron thy brother."
In this text, Moses, a man of great intimacy with God, looks at the blessing that God had said, long ago that he would enjoy, but now, because of his rebellion, it would not reach his hands.
