Hello Brother Rushmore, I have a question for you. If it is not good to listen to Contemporary Christian Music because of the unscripturalness of it, what kind of music should I listen to? I have abandoned secular music because of the sexual and drug content of the music. I used to enjoy Black Sabbath, AC/DC, KISS, Bad Company, and other music of its sort until I came back to the Lord’s church 2 years ago. I do not wish to fill my head with this nasty secular music anymore. It glorifys sex, violence, rape, marijana and alcohol. Country music has the same messages. What kind of music should I listen to? I enjoy singing along with it, it has to have words. Thank you, brother, for your answer. I am so confused! Doreen
It is admirable that you have opted to remove from your life the type of music that in many instances is counterproductive to successful Christian living. You are correct, that the lyrics associated with various genres of music often contain themes that are unproductive to the lives Christians are to live. Doubtless, though, there are individual songs in most if not all genres of music that do not promote ungodliness. In addition, several recordings of hymns are available along with you could sing; one source of such is the McCoy Family Singers. Of course, you could also sing hymns (James 5:13) or secular songs without accompanying taped music (i.e., make your own music).
