I really hope people don't get the wrong idea when reading this
article. The idea that "Jesus is hip" or "Jesus is my homey" is pretty
much wrong no matter how good the intentions are. It is like trying to
water down our Almighty Lord and Savior to a more palpable and
culturally accepted form. It's not right. Jesus is not our "homey" and
he is not "hip," he is the servant and savior of man, and thanks to his
love and grace our sins may be forgiven so long as we repent to God and
accept him as our redeemer. Not to mention that hippies partly based
their lifestyle on using drugs, and I am 100% positive that Jesus would
not even think about doing LSD, or any drug for that matter. Drug use
is like transporting your mind to another medium, which makes you
susceptible and vulnerable to evil, AND the Bible forbids it
(Deuteronomy 18:10-12). As for the music, more than anything it is the
lyrics that determine whether a song is dedicated to God or not. But if
you smoked a joint or took a hit of LSD while making a song, well that
just goes to say who you're really doing it for. God likes all types of
music because he enjoys variety, that is why all of us are unique,
different, and unlike anyone else.
