Well, I personally don't think it's bad to listen to secular music, as long as it's not messing up your walk with God. We're supposed to be IN the world, not OF it. I don't listen to all those bands that are like: "Blablabla my hump,my hump, blabla..." I really don't like songs that cuss or talk about really secular stuff. Some people get really caught up in music and start living their life for that instead of God. All I'm saying is, secular music's fine as long as it's not affecting your relationship with God. <3 Kimmie

it is not bad. But in my opinion it all depends on the person. Some may react diffferently to music than others. But I listen to secular music, but I REFUSE (at all means possible) to NOT listen to secular Rap. It warped me before, and I WILL NOT let it do that to me again. So that's the only thing that I refuse to listen to... minus those pop artists.

i agree. most of my bands are christian,but a few like linkin park and nickleback are not. i dont let their lyrics affect me, so my walk isnt interuptted. in fact, many songs have a double meaning and we could learn a lesson from them (besides drinking and cheating on your spouse).

I have heard before that Christians should always be optimistic. I naturally have a very pessimistic personality, and it is really hard to see the bright side of things. Should a Christian ALWAYS be optimistic?

i think they should try, even though its very hard. im not the most optimistic person either, but iono. its hard, when your having a horrible day, to smile like nothing is going on. we are christians and we should remember that we have the joy of God with us, but many times its hard. i mean life isnt all great and we shouldnt sugarcoat it, but i say we should atleast try to be positive.

We must always remember that the Joy of the lord is our strength! Ya its hard to be happy all the time, yeah its hard to be optomistic all the time, but with that we have atleast try. I've spent about 3 years of my life proclaiming that the world sucks and that everyone in it could die cuz they were horrible anyway. but the fact of the matter is that we should TRY to see the good in things. we should be the people that uplift those around us. Joy is not easy to find but once obtained, man is it infectious. Even in my most depressed moments i find that in the end i smile because i have joy that is in my heart. I know it sounds very juevinille but ya know what, We need to have the faith of a child. so THER! hehehe

i dont think so. i mean we should be open minded, but just remember to not let the enemy get us thinking about too much where we start questioning God.

In some ways yes. But it is not bad. You need to be open minded but you still can be to open minded because then the devil can try to come in for the kill. but it matters what it is if it is with your friends you cant be to open minded with music yes, drugs, realationships etc. It matters how your veiws are because some people are convicted about certain stuff like some may be dating and music while others are SUPER open so it matters what your convictions are.
