Picture depicted above: Alpha & Omega by Greg Olsen
On Facebook my friends recommend a worship song or hymn, like Jeremy Camp's song Wonderful Maker, from You Tube that the owner of the site says:
This video was made using Jeremy Camp's song Wonderful Maker as well as pictures that I found at the moment I was making it and tried my best to match with the lyrics of the song. I give all credit to God, Jeremy Camp, and the people who made/took the pictures that inspired me to make this video. Please Enjoy.The problem is that I recognize the pictures or stills from films that are not Christian, from the biblical standard. This video and other "music videos" feature art work from artist that are member's of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Roman Catholic, or even New Age. Saints the Bible says;
I will set before my eyes no vile thing. Psalms 101:3This means we have to be discerning about what is regarded as "Christian art." This means we have to find out if there is "another Jesus" (2 Corinthians 11:4) that inspires the artist...we need to expose it and have nothing to do with it. If these pictures are attached to our favorite hymns and worship songs...we need to let those who post it on You Tube and Facebook know what they have done. Hopefully they will change the pictures they have chosen.
I have done this several times. Below is the time index on this video and what artist and picture is depicted.

For this Christian who does not have any regard for the Catholic church,I would remind him of Jesus words to Peter. "Upon you, I will build my Church and the gates of hell will not prevail against it".
You need to focus on the Lord and His words that will stand forever.
Anonymous thank you for acknowleding I am a Christian. A Christian is one who believe's the gospel of Jesus Christ...see 1 Corinthians 15:1-4. That a Christian receives the gift of salvation given by His grace through faith and not of works of righteousness by the law...see Ephesians 2:1-9 and Titus 3:3-7. Finally the evidence that one is a Christian is that works will follow...Ephesians 2:10 and Titus 3:8.
Anonymous as far as your quote of Jesus' words to Peter in Matthew 16:18 you quoted it incorrectly.
And I say to thee: That thou art Peter (Greek - petros; stone or rock) and upon this rock (Greek - Petra; cliff or ledge,a projecting rock, crag, a large stone) I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
The Douay-Rheims Bible
Peter is not "this rock" that Jesus built His Church upon...rather it was on what Peter said in answer to Jesus' question "whom do you say that I am?"....Peter said:
Thou art Christ, the Son of the living God.
Jesus is the only foundation on which the Church is built;
According to the grace of God that is given to me, as a wise architect, I have laid the foundation: and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. For other foundation no man can lay, but that which is laid: which is Christ Jesus. 1 Corinthians 3:10 & 11
I would have regard for the Roman Catholic Church if they did not preach another Jesus, a different gospel by another spirit (2 Corinthians 11:1-4) and if this Church had not shed the blood of the saints in Christ Jesus.
And I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. And I wondered, when I had seen her, with great admiration. Revelation 17:6
Finally Anonymous I do focus on the Lord and His word. I have weighed Romanism in the balance and they come out wanting.
