Being a christian I see music as a wonderful way to communicate ideas to each other.
Also what does the bible say about music and what we as christian should listen to.
As I dealt with this issues in my past I noticed what Palms 1 share about this:
1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
4 The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.
5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
6 For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.”
It has a lot to say about what we need to watch and see look at verse 2 and you will see we are to look at His Law (God’s Word) Day and Night? How can we do that if we listen and hear what the world tells us. It is alright to listen to music (any style) if it is based on God’s word.
So if you like rock, country or classical or any other style of music if it honors God and tells us His truth it will help remind us how we should live and act according to God’s word.
1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.” (Romans 12:1-2)
Something else I look at is where does my money go. Do they take my money and spend on drugs, or other sinful things. I understand they have to make a living and pay for recordings and concerts. But as a christian whey should I allow my money to go into the devils business. If you listen on spotify they get a few cents everytime a song is played.
