The Power of Music

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,
