Featured SBC Leaders Dancing to Sweet Home Alabama at SBC, June '19

As long as they weren't shouting "Roll TIde Roll" in the chorus, I don't have a problem with the song, in itself. I just wish they'd shown a little more dignity. It's fine for Christians, even church leaders, to have fun, but I think, given the occasion, they might have conducted themselves a little more formally.

 

I listen to Lynyrd Skynyrd, Hank Williams, Bill Monroe, Alan Jackson, Ralph Stanley/Stanley Brothers and sometimes I (attempt to) flatfoot (dance for y'all folks up north) if it's a good 'banjer' tune, next to my chickens on a piece of 1/2in plywood I keep around.

I dont see anything evil in that particular Lynyrd Skynyrd song. I know some of their other songs are ones not to listen to though.

My pastor once said we oughtn't know the words to Alan Jackson's "Loves got a hold on you", but I do haha.

 

War Eagle!

 

War Eagle!

 

So??????????
Was this evil ???????????????

Read the lyrics to the song they were dancing to and singing. The subject of the song is going out dancing and finding someone for a one night stand that might possibly turn into a long term relationship. Personally, I don't want my pastor to endorse that sort of a song.

 

Well, my "relationship" with my wife of 45 years started with a one-nite date, but it progressed from there, as I was smitten. (and still am!)

But to each his/her own! if your conscience doesn't think rock music is appropriate in your Christian walk, so be it. I believe otherwise, and so be it. Doesn't mean you or I either one is wrong, same as Paul points out in Col. 2;16.

 

What's a "one night date"?

The song is about a woman on the prowl for sex with a stranger that might possibly lead to a long term relationship.

I didn't say rock music was inappropriate. I didn't say a thing about rock music as a genre. Don't put words in my mouth.

I said the president of the SBC dancing to and mouthing the words to a carnal song about one night stands is wrong.

I never understood why people enjoy watching others do humiliating things.
