Hello friend,
Lately I have realized how
dangerous the music of this world is. A good beat is all that people seem to
care about these days, and this is a very dangerous thing. The main deliverer
of music in this country is the radio, and today I am going to point out the
many immoral things that adults and children can be subjected to on a daily
basis when they listen to the world’s music. I decided to listen to the radio
for a few minutes and now I will share with you the many evil things that I have
heard.
The pop station:
Song #1 – Partying
Song #2 – Partying,
strippers, pre-marital sex, tattoos, alcohol, gambling, swearing etc.
Song #3 – Bad language
(including the F-word), pre-marital sex, sexual abuse, etc.
Song #4 – promoting sin,
swearing, and pre-marital sex.
Now you can say that this
is just the pop station, and I wish that that was true, but the country station
is just as dangerous to listen to.
The Country station:
Song #1 – Breakups,
revenge, drinking, etc.
Song #2 – Seduction,
partying, lust, etc.
Song #3 – Swearing,
drinking, and partying
Most people don’t understand
the true power of music and the hold that it can have over us. In Ecclesiastes
7:5 it says – “It is better for a man to hear the rebuke of the wise than to
hear the song of fools.” Music does nothing for us; it doesn’t help grow us
mentally, physically, or spiritually. Music only feeds the flesh with sounds
that touch our emotions. In the Bible it clearly states that music should be
used as recognition for all that God has done for us. Do songs talking about
big butts or having sex do this? No, it will only hinder us from growing in Christ,
and quite frankly, it is a waste of time.
In Philippians 4:8 it clearly
states “…Whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is
pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence,
if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.” We need to
remember that this music is clearly from Satan, and the Bible says to hate the
things of this world, so we need to understand how vital clean entertainment is
to our walk with Christ. Could you please challenge yourself to stop listening
to the radio and to avoid worldly music all together? It’s not because you have
to, it is because God wants you to, because He loves you.
In Christ,
Noah Brewster
