The overriding theme of this album is that the Church, especially the Western Church, has slowly drifted away from sound doctrine and instead has embraced a feel-good, ear-tickling, watered-down doctrine based on pop-psychology, self-improvement, and narcissism. I’m not saying this is true for all congregations, or even most. However, it seems to be true enough that this has become the image that is presented to unbelievers.

about
The title track, “Since Satan Joined the Church,” describes how far the modern church has strayed from its roots in Acts and even how much it has wandered from its protestant founding.
lyrics
Since Satan Joined the Church
There’s a famine in the land
Nobody’s preaching the Word
We traded truth for a lie
All the lines have been blurred
We swapped the gospel of Christ
For the doctrine of man
We gave up our holy ways
For a mansion built on sand
Paul is turning in his grave
Peter’s crying from the hurt
Truth’s been twisted inside out
Since Satan joined the Church
All we want is just more stuff
We can’t seem to get enough
We’ve been told if we only pray
More will rain down from above
People dying in the street
While we plan our next event
We’re all going to be devoured
Unless we fall down and repent
Paul is turning in his grave
Peter’s crying from the hurt
Truth’s been twisted inside out
Since Satan joined the Church
Well we got to get back to what we used to be
Before the first thing we asked is; “What’s in it for me?”
When the reason we were there was to worship and to praise our God
Back before the church became a concert hall
When the bible was preached and that was all
God’s hasn’t changed he’s still on the throne
Let’s forsake the world and turn back home
Paul is turning in his grave
Peter’s crying from the hurt
Truth’s been twisted inside out
Since Satan joined the Church
