Dealing with Rock Music in the Workplace, Gym, etc.

It isn’t just music, but all that is of this world which assaults the believer. We are in the world as ambassadors. We are not citizens of this world, and as one living in a foreign place must abide by the rules of that place, we must remain recognized as envoys of our true citizenship.

We must more often put up with the failed presentations, often reminding ourselves to be meek and wise, reminding ourselves that such wisdom from above is “... is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, unwavering, without hypocrisy.” That such wisdom must reflect itself both within us and as a light to the world.

To directly answer your question, one must then put up with that which would be personally repugnant.

One must express the fruit of the Spirit of God in us towards that and those who are hatefilled and abusive, knowing that insults, abuse, even injury is to be expected as the normal events of the believer’s living.

We currently live in the framework of the god of this earth in knowledge that there is yet a day when the King of Kings will rule and the foolishness that boldly expresses itself now will then be seen as shamefully foolish.

Do not contend with foolishness and fools. It is a waist of time.

 

There's nothing you can do about it, so don't worry about it, but I agree. Tired of it in the stores. You'd think they'd try a variety of music.

 

….there's a mountain station I listen to often that does just that, called Mix 106 (106.1 FM).

 

I listen to a variety of music also, but when I go to church I set my dial also to a mountain station... Mount Zion!!!... Brother Glen

 

I’ve always enjoyed classical music ..... the Beatles are my favorite

Truly my dad cured me of any chance of enjoying classical music and opera.
He played it long and loud in the house when I was a boy; still does (although now it’s cuz he can’t hear well).

Not much of a music person and I don’t enjoy the stuff that passes as Christian music any more than the standard stuff on the radio.

Personally I don’t mind the background noise of soft elevator pop songs at work.
But it gets irritating when the same song is repeated incessantly.

I draw the line at Christmas music. It usually starts soon after Halloween and continues until the day after Christmas.... nine hours a day, five days a week for more than a month.

I’d be willing to listen to anything but Christmas music.
