The Music Itself
We must realize that music was
originally created by God for Hisglory and honor.
You are worthy, our Lord and God, toreceive glory and honor and power, for you
created all things, and by your will they werecreated and have their being. (Revelation4:11, NIV)
But like every good gift from God,Satan had perverted it for hispurpose.

Principles and Warnings From the
Bible
There is some music which is used
to exalt the world and themselves Woe to those who rise early in the
morning to run after their drinksbut theyhave no regard for the deeds of the LORD,no respect for the work of his hands.(Isaiah 5: 11-12, NIV)

Art Imitates Life
Music reflects what we find
important and what we feel andthink.
But does the music glorify the
world separate from God? Why would we want to associate
with music that would glorify sinfulbehavior?

Two Taste In Music
We sometimes have two sets of
music for our life. The music we sing and enjoy at church
but would not want anyone outside ofchurch to know we listen to.
The music we sing and enjoy in theworld but would not want the pastoror other Christians to hear.
It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drinkwine, nor anything which cause your brother tostumble, or cause offense or is made weak.(Romans 14:21, KJV)

The Message of the Music
If the music has lyrics or a
message what is it saying? If the song has lyrics is it promoting
Biblical values and situationsChristians can be apart of.

The Message of the Music
Even if we are not going to do what
the message says we can becomeexcepting of what it says.
If we accept evil then we lose the
ability to know what is evil andavoid it

The Messengers
Are the singers/musicians the kind
of people a Christian shouldassociate with?
Does the singer respect their
audience? Does the singer show respect when
it comes to God and those thingswhich are holy?

There Are No Evil Styles of Music
Many Christians think that Rock or
Rap music is inherently evil I donot
There are many who do not like a
style of music and will find theworst who do that music to say itsevil.
But we must be careful about the
message and musician becausethat is how someone uses a styleof music and make it evil.

Discern
Know yourself and how you
respond to certain types of music. But solid food is for the mature, who
by constant use trained themselves todistinguish good and evil. (Hebrews
5:14, NIV) If you know that listening to certain
kinds of music make you do sinfulthings then you should listen to softer
music.

Do not Conform to the World
The bible teaches us that we are to
be light and salt to the worldand not try and imitate or conformto the it.
The music we listen to is a directreflection on each of us.
