Kingdom Polemics

Man-Made Hymns and Our Eschatology, Masculinity, and View of Scripture


Listen Later

In this powerful sermon, Aldo Leon explores how the church's music—specifically, the use of Psalms versus man-made hymns—impacts our theology, eschatology, and the way we view Christian masculinity. He emphasizes the need to sing God's inspired songs, as they provide a more robust spiritual foundation, promoting holiness, strong doctrinal convictions, and a biblical view of life. By contrasting the rich, specific nature of the Psalms with the vagueness and theological compromise found in many modern hymns, Aldo challenges the church to reconsider its approach to worship and music.

Key Discussion Points:

  • Psalms vs. Hymns: Aldo discusses how replacing Psalms with man-made hymns in worship has weakened the church's theological integrity and spiritual vibrancy.
  • Holiness and Judgment: The sermon highlights how Psalms address God's rewarding of righteousness and judgment for sin—key themes often absent in modern hymns.
  • Eschatological Optimism: Aldo argues that the Psalms teach a triumphant and optimistic view of Christ's kingdom on earth, in contrast to modern hymns, which tend to emphasize retreat from the world.
  • Masculinity and Warfare: The Psalms consistently portray the Christian life as a spiritual battle, promoting a masculine, warrior-like stance against evil—something missing from many modern worship songs.
  • The Necessity of Realism: Aldo stresses the importance of the Psalms' raw honesty about suffering, hardship, and the struggle for holiness, which fosters a more grounded and real Christian experience.
