Secular Music?

[jch-singer]

Is it right or wrong?

 

[gekko]

if it is not praising men, selfishness, or worldly living. then it isn't wrong.

i wouldn't listen to it personally because what really matters is "what is the motive?"

 

[Mike McK]

Is it right or wrong?

Depends on the song.

 

[Gib]

The Song That Never Ends - is just plain wrong and I hope I never hear it again.

 

[tinytim]

This is the song that never ends..
It just goes on and on my friends....

OK everyone sing along!!!!
Gib wants to hear it!!!!

 

[tinytim]

I think it depends on the song.

"Jesus take the wheel" is secular, but a good one.
So is "Broken Road"

and Brad Paisley's "when I get where I'm going"
Brooks and Dunn's "red letter bible"

Alan Jackson's "Remember When"

They are secular, but not wrong

Doesn't mean I'm going to sing them in church. Well, I might sing "when I get where i'm going"

I used to go to a church where the pianist would play "time in a bottle" for the offeratory everyonce in a while.

jch-singer asked:

Is it right or wrong?

Well, that's a little bit over-generalized, isn't it?

Food: Like it, or not?

 

[jch-singer]

Sorry for takeing so long on fixing the poll question for this thread. :Fish:

 

[SBCPreacher]

Just because it's secular doesn't mean it's wrong. Just because it's secular means that it doesn't belong in the worship service, but it's not necessarily wrong. I like jazz and big band instrumental stuff. I think that's great stuff! It's secular, but it's not wrong.

I do have to agree with Gib about The Song That Never Ends!

 

[webdog]

I voted "no", but wish there would have been a "sometimes" vote, as there is a "sometimes" vote even with Christian music.

 

[gekko]

but then you gotta look at the reason why its called secular...

secular wants God out. thats why they call it secular.

im not going to label a whole album secular.

it depends on the song

 

[jch-singer]

You can take this for what it's worth. :Fish:

Actually, that's not what secular means.

ok ok. i admit i was quoting from one of crossmovements intermissions...

 

[rbell]

Examples of secular songs:

"Happy Birthday to you"
"Jingle Bells"
"Three Blind Mice"

These are wrong?

The poll is too simplistic to answer and consequently isn't any good. I won't be voting. Try again with a better question, JCH

You forgot:

Hell's Bells
Mr. Crowley
It's The Devil I Love
... and many more

You're right, the question is too vague. Some secular music is extremely bad. Some secular music isn't so bad at all.

 

[rbell]

"hell's bells" is bad????

That was our theme song for the Junior High boys lock-in!!!


(Removes tongue from cheek)

 

[jch-singer]

Fine, secular music that is extremely bad, do you think it is Ok to listen to?:type:

 

[Gib]

Well duh, no :laugh:

 

[jch-singer]

Well duh, no :laugh:

I'm glad that someone agrees with me on something. LOL :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
