Hey Girl! We're your hosts, Iz and Zi!
and welcome or welcome back to the Forever GodGirl podcast.
In today's episode, we will talk about why to not listen to trendy music.
But how is it bad?
In 2 Timothy 2 verse 16 it says,
But avoid irrelevant babble, for it leads people into more and more ungodliness.
Sometimes what the world deems as good is actually sinful in God's eyes.
A lot of trendy music today has bad words, sexual themes, and can even be mocking God.
Sometimes it's not bad per se, but it's just meaningless.
How does it help us in our relationship with Jesus?
And how does it honor God?
By the way, when we say secular, it just means non-Christian.
Alright, so how much secular music is too much?
In 1 Thessalonians chapter 5 verse 21 says,
Test everything, keep what is good.
Look at your most listened to playlists and songs.
How much secular music do you listen to daily versus worship music?
Jesus should be our number one focus, and worshiping him is the most important thing.
In other words, he is our top priority.
And that's why we shouldn't listen to certain secular music.
But now that we've discovered why certain secular music is bad and we shouldn't listen
to it, even if it's trendy, what should we listen to instead?
What are some good Christian artist recommendations?
Anne Wilson, Katie Nicole, Brandon Lake, Elevation Worship, Hillsong, and so much more.
If you have any trouble finding Christian artists that you like, usually in the app that you
listen to music, they'll have a playlist of Christian music just for you.
So if you press on that, then you'll see all the different genres of Christian music
and find stuff you actually really love.
Time for our special segment with Iz and Zi song trivia.
What song are these lyrics from?
When oceans rise, my soul rests in your embrace, for I am yours and you are mine.
Take a second to see if you know what song these lyrics are from.
Alright, I have a guess.
What is it, Zi?
Oceans by Hillsong Worship.
Hillsong United.
I knew that!
Who wouldn't?
Anyways, was your guess correct?
That was a good special segment, right Zi?
Oh yes, it was.
But now we have to get into something a little deeper.
Salvation.
See, this message is great and all and entertaining, but if you don't have salvation, then none
of these tips we just shared with you can actually help you.
So, if you have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, then this message will help you.
But, if you don't have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, then I invite you to give
your heart to the Lord today.
To receive Him into your heart, go to Romans 10, 9-10.
It says that, if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in your heart
that God has raised him from the dead, you will be saved, for with the heart one believes
unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
If you say this prayer with sincerity, you are saved, and now have eternal life with
Jesus.
You are saved from all your sins, past, present, and future sins you may commit.
Now, this truth is not a free pass to sin anytime.
Instead, Jesus gives you power over all wrong choices and empowers you to spread the gospel
to others.
You are saved forever and your name is written in the book of life.
Thank you so much for listening to this podcast episode.
We hope that it helped you and that you learned something.
And remember, some music has bad words, but other music has God's blessings.
