| What is in a Song? |

| |
| Well to many just a beautiful melody and someone singing some words. But it has always been so very important to me to understand the meaning of a song. The hymns have meaning and give praise to the Lord above. We are to be giving all honor and glory to the King of Kings and when we chose to constantly listen to songs that do not uplift our Saviors name or His will to reach others about His wonderful gift of salvation then we miss the purpose we are here for, that is to glorify God. I have written this blog because of someone close to me who does not think that lyrics are not important, but that you can listen to any kind of music and just tune out the bad stuff being said. I have tried to explain that God has given us a computer like brain that can record all we see or hear even if we do not recall it at that moment to use at a later time. This person told me that music had no effect on him. To that I want to just tell you that I to this day do not recall much of my 15th year of life, not because I was on drugs or alcohol, but rather was listening to music that feed my anger over things that were not right in my life. It took my mother stating I would be leaving the house for somewhere else to live if I did not change my attitude and behavior. Just to make sure this is clear I have never used drugs in my life, this happened simply by listening to the wrong kind of music. It is my hope that if you read this blog you will take stock in what choices you make and find out how those affect you. |
