Total Separation from This World (Part 5)

Music World – I loved music! I purchased so much music, when I got saved I threw CDs in the trash that were still in the shrink-wrap. Most of the music I listened to was rap and R&B. Because I was raised around the church of God, I didn’t feel comfortable listening to “gospel” music. Not because it was Gospel, but because there were false doctrines being sung, and being sung by sinners! There are many people who listen to various gospel artists out there, Yolanda Adams, Mary Mary, the Winans, Kirk Franklin, and many others. In sin, I learned these people are artists, trying to have a career in music, acting, or some other sort of entertainment. They frequent the awards shows, with all the other entertainers and actors. They attend the afterparties, they sing with rappers on the same stage, they lie, steal, cheat, and everything else they’re big enough to do.

I can’t justify putting their songs into my CD player, or iPod, or on my radio station when I know these people have no salvation, or real contentment; they are after worldly gain!They savour the things of men! The bible says in 2nd Timothy chapter 3 verse 5 “having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. If they’re in my ears and feeding on my mind, I’m not turning away. Many of the producers who produce this “gospel” music also produce rap, R&B, rock, reggae, and whatever else they’re paid to produce. So that means the music, minus the lyrics, is the same music from gospel, to rap, to R&B, to reggae, and to rock. Same song, different lyrics.

Needless to say, I stay away from that worldly music; I love to hear good old church of God Evening Light songs.
