Christian Singer Walks Out on Grammys After ‘Satanic’ Performances

I stopped listening to secular music a long time ago. I tell folks visiting to not play it in my house. Parents need to be careful period when they are letting their kids isten to these artists. Wasn't there some story on Drudge last month about Beyonce flashing some sort of satanic symbols during a performance too? And that Kanye West boy is always flashing something. All of these really big names in music seem to be in some manner connected to the occult.

 

You'll notice that when any secular media establishment needs to either recapture an audience or do something that everyone is talking about they attack Christianity.

Never Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, Judaism, etc....only Christianity.

It is easy to pick on Christianity and represents artistic laziness.

I've stopped watching these idiotic award shows. To see media industries pat themselves on the back for leading our culture into depravity has no appeal to me. We have public servants, everyday heroes, soldiers in harms way, countless other groups who do more in a week than these highly paid dilettantes do in a year. Where is their award shows?

 

I listen mostly to secular music. I like bluegrass, which includes a lot of Gospel music, and Southern Gospel music, but mostly, the vast, vast majority of the music I listen to is secular music.

But that having been said, my wife and I have given our children a guide to go by to evaluate what they watch and listen to and read, and it's helped me a lot.


1. Does it pass the Philippians 4 test?

Is it true? Is it honorable? Is it just? Is it pure? Is it lovely? Is it commendable? Is there any excellence? Is there anything worthy of praise?


2. Does it pass the Galatians 5 test?

Does it exhibit, glorify, or incite the works of the flesh, which are sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy, drunkenness, orgies, either in thought or in deed?

Or does it exhibit, glorify, or encourage the fruit of the Spirit, which is love, joy, peace, patience,
kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control?


3. Does it pass the 1 Corinthians 8 test?

Even if it's something God grants us the liberty to enjoy or engage in, would our doing it cause a weaker brother or sister in Christ to sin or to stumble in their walk with Christ?


4. Is it an idol to you?

If it's something that failed the three tests above, would you give it up? If so, then what would your attitude be about giving it up? Would you be glad to give it up, knowing it doesn't glorify God, isn't conducive to growth in Christ, and could cause a weaker brother or sister in Christ to sin or stumble in their walk with Christ?

Or would you give it up grudgingly or not give it up at all? If so, then it's an idol.
