More to Music

People should be critical thinkers and observe what they put into there heads Christian or not I listen to a lot on "secular" music but I research the band and make sure they are not harmful to my spirit before is pursue there music I hate when people just slap the Christian label on there music and people are like this is a good Christian band just because they have a Christian tittle.

To just take music at face value and not look into what you put into your mind is Cultural Suicide. To just blankly take in lyrics and junk is foolish. I will say that genres of music that are more"Christian" than others. But that does not mean that Christians should be confided to gospel and worship songs only. They should go out into all genres and use the testimony to spread the Gospel. Now I am not saying to not do Praise and Worship music to there just needs to be a balance. There needs to no be an extreme of either praise and worship.

Before someone decides to listen to a band they need to examine what the band is about. What the members of the band believe. Now I am not saying that all secular music is good. There are some bands that I would never even think about listening to. It goes into this mindset. If all music is not unto God then it is evil. Then what do we say about classical music and instrumental.

What is there in the Bible about music? Well there are plenty of the Psalms that deal with making music. What about listing to it. I believe like all other Christian problems we must first turn toward God. Ask Him if he would like to put this sound into His temple. This problem is why I can see the heart around the “Music Rule” here at the Honor Academy.

While some people like myself have learned to control what they listen to there are others that would blindly just put in junk into there soul. So like a speed limit sign is for people who would break the speed limit, the music rule is for those who cannot control themselves or have not thought this through and the consequences to there actions. So why I do not believe I need the rule I will obey it like any other law.
