Please is it wrong for a Christian to listen to worldly music? What difference will it makes in his or her life? My neighbor always look at me as if am a black Jesus or a fair devil coming back from church and on CD to listen to Ja,Rule, Chris Brown, Wizkid or Davido. The crowd that always came to this guys shows, aren't the same crowd in church on Sunday. Please someone put me through, maybe am doing the wrong thing.
The Bible says, judge not that ye shall not be judged but your neighbor is going against that portion in the Bible. Most Christians judge one another and that isn't the instruction given to us by God almighty, the music we listen to as influence on us my fellow Christian, worldy music contains lyrics that are contradictory to Christian values and it can influence our emotions, thoughts and behavior and thereby leading us alway from our faith, worldly music contains lyrics that can distract you from your relationship with God. Worldy music are tempting but we have better gospel music that will keep you jumping on your feet with joy.
It depends on your definition of worldly music. Some religious fanatics condemn songs that are about societal problems or love. They just want all the music to contain messages about their Holy Books. I wonder what the world would have been without songs about life. Some songs by the so-called worldly musicians inspire me more than religious songs. The songs of Bob Marley contain some universal truths that can be found in almost all religions.
