Back in the day, I can remember bobbing my head to smash hits like N’Sync’s “Bye Bye Bye” and “Oops I Did It Again” by Brittney Spears. It was apparent that the lyrics were playful and the writers had no intent on leading people astray. Today however, the same thing cannot be said.
Music manifests itself through its listeners’ life.
Our musical selections impact us on a spiritual, mental, emotional and sometimes physical level. It would be foolish to deny and refuse to recognize this fact.
Over the past years, it seems as if music has become increasingly vulgar. As the years have gone by, the godliness has dropped dramatically. Some of the music of today is incredibly deceiving and corrupted.
Our generation is heavily influenced by music, and often times our heroes are the overly celebrated musical artists. However, most people are not fully aware of some of the things that our “heroes” do behind the scenes. A lot of these popular artists are leading us astray. We would be surprised if we really knew what actually goes on in their lives behind closed doors, outside of the public eye. Artists such as Jay Z, Rihanna, Kanye West, and Lil Wayne are all occult participants, they are either involved in Illuminati or Freemasonry. The majority of their songs contain subliminal messages that one can not recognize without research.
Research. No one is doing it. This is what is destroying us as a community. You may think you are singing one thing, but in some cases you could be singing something completely different; most likely contradictory to the Christian faith.
As a whole, we have become so naive and too trusting, especially of people we do not know. We assume that everything we listen to is permissible. Often times, this is not the case. We have to put back into practice the useful tool of thinking.
This applies to broader areas than just music. In every aspect of life we must enlighten ourselves to the truth. We can no longer afford to passively allow ourselves to be influenced by anyone else. It would prove wise for us to wake up and start evaluating things. Instead of being swayed by the masses, we should begin to think for ourselves and discover what is beneficial to our lives as well as the things that our detrimental to our lives.
Once we can begin to think for ourselves and research issues that we are not fully and completely sure of, we then can start making better, wiser, and more logical decisions, ultimately turning us into wiser young adults.
