If the music is sinful, as you are saying it is, then is going to a punk show sinful?

I am hoping that this is a rhetorical question! If XXX movies are sinful, then is going to the movie theater to watch them, sinful?

And if so, then Christians need to avoid those places at all costs and if they do avoid, then those people are never going to hear the truth.

The simple answer is that God IS sovereign. He has decreed who it is He will be reconciled to. He has foreordained every movement of everything, including those who go to punk concerts and those who preach the truth about Christ to the world. Thus, I seriously doubt that even one of those who attend these types of places is going to be lost or even saved later than he/she would have been otherwise, if Christians don't attend these concerts. Unless I'm totally unaware of what is happening out "there", I would think that these "punkers" do frequent other places, eh? You aren't going to tell me that these Punk Concerts are something which go on 24/7 for 365 days of the year are you?

Seriously.... God will save all who He has determined to save. God will move in the hearts of those who He has determined to bring the Good News to go where these people are without them having to wallow in sin or to commit sin to speak the truth of salvation. The providence of God is actually quite amazing if you would think about it.

In His Grace,
