As with movies, music is no different. Ephesians 5:15, 16 says to “Keep strict watch that how you walk is not as unwise but as wise persons, buying out the opportune time for yourselves, because the days are wicked.”
Look at who is popular in music. Rap music for example is nothing more than garbage for your mind. Back in the day I used to listen to nothing but Rap music and at a time even made music myself.
Almost all Rap music talk about drugs, sex, how much money they have, girls, etc...
I want you to imagine if Jesus was sitting in your car. What kind of music would you be playing if he was sitting there? Or what if he asked to see your Ipod, would you say no because of the kind of music you have on your ipod? Do you think he doesn't already know what you have?
Music is indeed very powerful. Perhaps you need to make some changes in the type of music you choose. If you have records, tapes, and discs that carry immoral and demonistic themes, you should immediately dispose of them.
This does not mean that you cannot enjoy music; not all popular music is objectionable. Some have also learned to broaden their musical tastes and now enjoy certain classical, folk, light jazz, and other forms of music. The Kingdom Melodies tapes have helped many youths develop a taste for uplifting orchestral music.
Music is a divine gift. For many, though, it becomes an unhealthy preoccupation. Make it your aim to keep music in its place and let the activity of Jehovah be your main concern. Be selective and careful about the music you choose. Thus you will be able to use—not abuse—this divine gift.
What do I listen to? I love Oldies.....One of my favs is
