ABOUT GOSPEL AND SECULAR MUSIC
It is not 'gospel music' because it mentioned Jesus, neither is it 'secular' because it did not... The gospel is about the Spirit and not the lyrics!
Jesus said, the words I speak to you, 'the are SPIRIT AND LIFE! That's the point
I could listen to an artiste whose spirit in my discerning mind I agree with and whose lyrics are wholesome and whose videos bear the themes of modesty and decency even if he/she do not mention Jesus. I could enjoy it, be inspired by it but weigh its lessons against scripture! When I do this, I allow the song activate intellectual or motivational considerations good for the soul!
Flip side, I will not listen to anyone who in my discerning mind my Spirit doesn't receive! No reasons, no explanations, no judgment! It's my ear, mind and Spirit, I have right to grant or refuse access! It doesn't mater if they slip Jesus into the song here and there, demons too call him Lord!
Then of course, should the artiste decide to be outrightly unwholesome and center his performance with Flavors that run contrary to the theme of the gospel, the music must become unworthy of our attention as children of God, it is at best poison well served! It doesn't mater the perfection of the musical rendition or the skills deployed. Flee from these things packaged to contaminate the pure waters of your soul and undermine your faith and growth in God!
Music is a school of the Spirit and every time you submit yourself to it, you submit to more than a lyric and performance, your welcome a Spirit!
