Weekly Post---MUSIC

Allright, here is one for thought. I know some people who think that it is wrong to listen to any music that is not Christian. They say that there is all kinds of Christian music out there so you can find what you want to listen to in the Christian relm. Now, before you say they are all crazy they have a pretty good reason behind it. According to the bible, we should be glorifing God at ALL times! They say that if we are listening to music that is talking about our girlfriends, or tractors, then we aren't glorifing God.

On the other side of the argument, this is a way to connect with other people. Not only that, there are a lot of good songs that don't have a bad message. If we only listen to Christian Music, aren't we putting ourselfs in a box and doing exactly what Christ says not to do? After all, the Bible says be in the world, not of the world. How are we in the world if we box ourselfs off in this Christian music thing?

***Please Note I am only talking about secular songs with an O.K. message or better. NOT ANY SONGS THAT PROMOTE DRUGS, DEFYING AUTHORITY, OR ANY OTHER NEGATIVE MESSAGE!***

So what do you think? Is it allright to listen to songs that are not Christian? Why or why not. Tell me why you think that. don't just tell me what you think. You have to have a reason.
