The music we listen to often carries the message of the world, and the world uses the medium of music to squeeze us into its mold. And a Christian cannot help being gradually influenced if he continually listens to the worlds music

Music is well-known to connect deeply with adolescents and to influence identity development, perhaps more than any other entertainment medium.

Impact of Music Lyrics

The lyrics of todays popular music are increasingly explicit A study of 14-16 yr olds, showed they listened to music on average 40 hrs per week

Impact of Music Lyrics

The music they are listening to plays a large part in their lives, especially influencing self-identity. Any bad influences in the music would have a very direct effect on the adolescent.

Miley Cyrus

The Pursuit of Holiness

Our responsibility regarding our wills is to guard our minds and emotions, being aware of what influences our minds and stimulates our desires. As we do our part, we will see the Spirit of God do His part, making us more holy.
The Pursuit of Holiness, Jerry Bridges

Today
Do What Thou Wilt is in full bloom Pervasive media has severely desensitized everyone to sin

So,You might say,

But I dont listen to secular music, I only listen to Christian music!

So,You might say,

The challenge is that in a majority of all the Christian music produced today there are many problems that make it difficult for the informed Christian to listen to it.

Shall we Listen!

Romans 12:2

And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
