I have a question in regard to rock music. Is all non-christian music bad? I mean, is it really OK for us to listen to Country or Rock music? I'm a big fan of the rock group KISS, and in Christian chat rooms I've been to, it seems that it's split down the middle on what music is acceptable. I love gospel music, but must that be the only type of music we can listen to without sinning?

I think I have to agree with that.

I personally don't believe that musical expression can ever be simply "wrong"...excepting certain travesties such as "We Built This City on Rock and Roll" by Jefferson Starship (yeah, you built it, and then you tore the whole thing down with that song. Thanks). However, it's all about what you feel most comfortable listening to. If you think a song is disrespectful or if a genre or artist makes you feel uncomfortable, you needn't worry about it, just don't listen to it. Use your discerning capabilities.

I, for one, listen to zero explicitly Christian music - unless you count the blues, I guess.

you have to ask yourself in each case, "what message is this music trying to convey?" When I did that, a great deal of my music said goodbye. You mentioned KISS. What is KISS's message? Mainly partying and sleeping around, so, for me, that music would have to go. Anything that does not encourage living a holy lifestyle should probably go. I'm not one of those people that thinks all rock 'n roll is evil, but some of it is not going to help you live a Christian life at all. We can give you guidelines, but you are going to have to ask the Lord these questions, and listen for the Holy Spirit's answer.

:thumbsup: Beautiful answer!

I personally don't think that all rock music is bad, any more than I would think that all country music, or all easy-listening, or all classical music is bad.......... and I must confess to liking some of it myself.

However, I do think that it pays to exercise caution in some of what we allow ourselves to listen to.

I started a similar thread on this subject quite a while ago, which drew some very interesting and diverse responses. The link is below:

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
