Unholy Communion: An Ordained Adventist Pastor from the Texas Conference Performs Rap on Communion Sabbath

Adventism is being modified to imitate our culture. Instead of influencing society with the gospel, our worship is becoming like any other worldly rap concert. In the video above, you will see the kind of performance you would expect at a worldly music festival. However, what makes this situation worse is the fact that the person in the video is an ordained Seventh-day Adventist pastor who is rapping on Holy Communion Sabbath in front of the church congregation. That is the new example that is being given to the youth, visitors, and members. This is the kind of worship and entertainment that the younger generation has become accustomed to, thanks to certain leaders.

In the video, you see Pastor Jacob Serns from the Texas Conference celebrating holy communion and rapping at the Benbrook Seventh-day Adventist Church in Benbrook, Texas. Serns is the pastor of this church, where he is supposed to be commemorating the Last Supper, a symbol of Christ's atoning sacrifice for our sins. But instead of encouraging a sense of reverence for the solemnity of Christ's sacrifice, Pastor Serns integrates the elements of the rap culture-beats, music, rhyming, lyrics, cheering, clapping, and shouting-and makes them part of the Holy Communion Sabbath service. At the end, he declares he is having "way, way too much fun."

That's the problem. The sacred worship of Jehovah has been turned into a giant entertainment spectacle. It's all about fun and flattery. This is about pleasing the eyes and the ears. You can shout the name of Jesus in a rap song, but that doesn't make it Christian, and calling upon the name of the Lord with worldly music doesn't make it holy. This actually creates confusion and is misleading people about what God requires when it comes to worship. This bedlam of confusion has never been part of true Adventism and never will be. Worship is being revolutionized to deceive the very elect.

When this type of confusion is tolerated in the church, it will just spin out of control and multiply. This is true in any church and with any person. When error is embraced, it only opens the door for more dangerous falsehoods to come in. When we begin making excuses to accommodate apostasy, the wrongdoing will never be dealt with, and soon full-blown rebellion follows.
