Grammy Awards Send a Message.

Last Sunday in Los Angeles, the most coveted music awards were doled out at an awards extravaganza where no holds were barred by the performers. This year’s program boasted sultry sex scenes, satanic occult imagery, and even a mass wedding including many homosexual couples and presided over by a female hip-hop star. “Same Love,” the wildly popular hip-hop song of the year about homosexual love was performed throughout the brief wedding ceremony (LATimes, January 27, 2014; Telegraph, January 27, 2014; Telegraph, January 27, 2014).

Throughout the Bible, God repeatedly indicts the Israelite-descended nations for rejecting His ways. He warns, “Woe to him who strives with his Maker” and those “who are incensed against Him” (Isaiah 45:9, 24). This year’s Grammys, more than ever, demonstrated a spirit of “striving against God” and His ways, and being “incensed against” obedience to God’s laws. It poignantly and purposefully flaunted hedonism and sin in the faces of over 28 million viewers, even as some liberal commentators were themselves taken aback by some of the acts.

One day soon, Christ will return and, as many return from national captivity experienced because of their rejection of God’s laws, they will “be ashamed” of their actions against God (v. 24). The exciting truth is that when this happens, God will gladly welcome back His people (Zephaniah 3:20) and bless them once again (Joel 2:18-19).
