Thinking back to my church days, and I thought about the music and the lifestyle, and being a person that is really big on music, I would listen to all kinds of music that peaked my interests, including alternative, pop, hip-hop, soul, some funk, etc. As youth coming up in the church, we were always encouraged to listen to Gospel music, and that "music of the world" is evil and that is how the Devil puts evil things into you through the music. Well, I saw on BET the other day, Yolanda Adams singing Chaka Khan's "Sweet Thing." I love ,e some Yolanda Adams. She has a beautiful voice and makes amazing music. I am sure that the Devil is not putting evil things into her because she sang that song. I am pretty sure that a lot of our Gospel artists listen and jam to the latest non-gospel tunes, and even use some of it as inspiration for the Gospel music they make. I love music. When it's really good, it hits you in the soul. It can make you cry or smile, happy or sad; it can inspire you, no matter what type of music it is. I was listening to some Kirk Franklin the other day, and it had been a while since I had listened to any gospel, and "Imagine Me," just touched my heart. You don't have to be a Christian to enjoy Gospel/Inspirational music, and you can be a Christian and listen to non-gospel music. Just a thought.
Live. Laugh. Love.
