What should you do now if you, as a believing Christian, are under the spell of this music? Walter Kohli shows in his brilliant book, 'Rock Music and Christian Life' (p.70), the way to liberation: "At the time of the Apostles expensive magic books were burnt (ACTS 19:19). That's why nowadays captives of rock music have to destroy their records with occult, blasphemous and dirty contents, if they want the Word of the Lord to grow mightily in them, and gain the upper hand (See ACTS 19:20). One cannot deliberately and continually expose oneself to wicked influences and maintain a living relationship with God on the side... One cannot compromise with the darkness of the rock world! Experience shows that young Christians badly neglect their relationship with God as soon as they expose themselves intensively to the influence of rock music." John Todd: "And if a Christian comes to me and says, that he still listens to rock music, then I ask him immediately about his spiritual state. And it is usually very, very weak. One can't grow spiritually if one listens constantly to this stuff!"

Fortunately there are young Christians, who take the necessary action. For example: "1,250 young Americans in St. Paul (Minnesota), openly smashed more than a thousand rock music records, burnt the covers and renounced themselves from this "scene"... The organisers called themselves "Born-Again Christians"; most of them are members of the "Zion-Life Centre" in St. Paul. There, a seminar took place where the 400 participants were convinced that rock music "could get them off God's ways." Besides, it stands in spiritual relationship with sexual confusion, drug addiction, occultism and satanic cults." (from "Midnight Cry", Feb. 1980).

As a former Black Sabbath fan I desperately want to warn you: Do not play with the dangers of rock music, or take the message contained here too lightly! If your soul is captured "in the satanic power of this music", and if you don't want to risk losing it, then take this step:

Break these records, before they break you!
