The Music we chose

The music that we chose to listen to can say a lot about us. If we chose music with provocative, suggestive themes, or curse words in the lyrics, it shows that we don’t care, that we approve of that sort of thing, and that it is ultimately accepted by us.  As Christians, we should really try to separate ourselves from all sinful things, including music that could lower morals and introduce negative influences. Even though music can be something that we really enjoy, is it worth exposing yourself to something that would displease God? By no means am I saying that music is sinful, I’m saying that inappropriate music is something that we, as people trying to live like Christ, should avoid. Christian music is something that we should try to taper into our lives. Songs that promote Jesus, Christianity, and ultimately glorify God.

 Sometimes we can feel embarrassed to say that we don’t listen to the same music as the rest of the world, because that makes us feel like we don’t fit in, but isn’t that we are commanded to do? Separate ourselves from the world? Music is a great thing! I mean, there’s two whole books of the bible dedicated to it. Singing is an act of worship (though it does not include “music”) Psalm 100:1 “Make a joyful shout to the Lord, all you lands!” we decide whether or not music is a good thing by the songs that we choose.
