How much doctrine should we sacrifice to get some good sounding tune? Ezekiel 31-36

As I read this morning and write the devotional I have a new CD playing on the speaker system on the boat. Every year, prior to the big Christian outside concert that comes to our town we purchase the latest songs of the artist that have been invited. We spend July listening to their music and then go to hear them live at the concert. My wife doesn't particularly like my method of listening to artist as I tend to rate them rather particular. Some are real "light weights" as to doctrine but "heavy as to musical skill." Some are "heavy weights" as to doctrine but "light" on musical skill. That is the dilemma we have as believers. Do we listen to good "music" at the cost of the bad "doctrine" or do we listen to "bad" music to hear "good" doctrine? In Ezekiel 33:30-33 the prophet is being admonished to be a "true" prophet for God and to speak clear and concise doctrine. He is told that many will listen to "bad" doctrine if it is packaged in "good" tunes. Pastors, musicians and teachers are all faced with the same challenges: Do we water down the doctrine to make the message palatable to the taste? The answer should always be "NO!" But, we hear more of "good sound" than we do "sound doctrine" in today's preaching, music and Christian literature. God even went on to tell Ezekiel about false "shepherds" of Israel (chapter 34) and warned him about being a watchmen who failed to sound the alarm when certain doom was approaching (chapter 33). Today's style is typified recently in the book by Rob Bell entitled "Love Wins" where "Pastor" Bell waters down the gospel message to make it palatable for the reader and the condemned and dying world. We need to make sure we don't compromise the message to attract the hearers. Since we want people to hear the message we are tempted to tickle the ears so they will be enticed to listen. However, most of the Bible is God's prophecy about pending doom and judgment on those who reject Him. He never waters down the truth to entice the disciple. He always presents the truth to assure His character is presented and demonstrated. Be careful what you listen to and what you demonstrate yourself. The CD I am currently hearing in the background is bankrupt in doctrine but has a wealth of style and musical skill. I find my self tapping my foot but my heart will never be drawn to God by this song. Time to hit fast forward and hope for a new song rich in doctrine and music.
