Music is powerful! Put something trashy or depressing in your ears and it will wind up in your heart! Put lewd language in your ears and they will wind up on your tongue! Put faulty doctrine in your ears and it will wind up in your thinking and doing!
Don't
mistake what I'm saying...it's not about genre, it's about the message you are
hammering into your psyche!
Country
CAN be horrible.
Hip
Hop CAN be horrible.
Jazz
CAN be horrible.
"Inspirational"
music CAN be horrible.
Bluegrass
CAN be horrible.
Rock
CAN be horrible.
Pop
CAN be horrible.
Opera
CAN be horrible.
EVERY
genre CAN be horrible.
Genre
is one thing; the message is the main thing!
We
all need to set our minds on things above!
"Look
carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of
the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but
understand what the will of the Lord is. And do not get drunk with wine, for
that is debauchery, but be filled with the Spirit, addressing one another in
psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord
with your heart, giving thanks always and for everything to God the Father in
the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, submitting to one another out of reverence
for Christ." (Ephesians 5:15-21 ESV)
"Let
the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in
all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in
your hearts to God." (Colossians 3:16 ESV)
