Dear person,
We have
a whole thread dedicated to the issue of detecting
unsuitable tunes.
It is not enough to assess the instrumentation of a musical
oeuvre. Additional aspects are also needed to make a song presentable to
Jesus. The
lyrics are an important component:
Psalms 98:4
Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all the earth: make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise.
Loud? well, these "artists" know how to do that!
Joyful? Not sure but I'll let this pass.
Praise? Let us see (this is the aspect that actually
matters):
Stevie Wonder: "Higher Ground"
Quote:
I'm so darn glad he let me try it again
Cause my last time on earth I lived a whole world of sin
I'm so glad that I know more than I knew then
Gonna keep on tryin'
Till I reach my highest ground

Re-incarnation! Heathen doctrine. Spiritual re-birth is something quite different:
John 3:3
Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
Mr. Wonder is twisting this message instead of
Praising Jesus.
Epic failure.
Lionel Richie: "My Destiny"
Quote:
From the first time that I saw you
I know it was forever
This mighty love between us
Will keep us together
You're the girl God sent from heaven
I'm so glad I found you
|
This man actually
thinks that
God sent him a angel or some other
celestial creature as a partner in
fornication!
Blasphemy instead of
Praising Jesus.
Epic failure. In addition, love towards your spouse is highly questionable.
Luke 14:26
If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.
Please, Mr. Prime, don't take
unnecessary risks. The path to
Heaven is not an easy one (Matthew 7:14).
Yours in Christ,
Elmer
