Additional Thought

The tactics of liberals never change. The following words are from Neil W. Anderson, which he published for an article, "A Strategy for Apostasy," in the Gospel Advocate (June, 2008)—more than ten years ago. He was explaining the means by which some congregations had incorporated instrumental music into their worship.

The elders explain how carefully they studied the issue of instrumental music in worship and engaged in lengthy periods of prayer. With the influence of both the pulpit and the elders, the congregation is persuaded to believe that God has led them to this conclusion (3).

Sound familiar? This article was quoted on page 44 of Louis Rushmore's book, No Hermeneutical Gymnastics, Please! which he published in 2009.
