Before I became a True Christian and actually gave my life to fully and was transformed in a moment of time by Jesus, I used to think I was a Christian. I used to listen to rap music all the time. Then someone challenged me to listen to only Christian music. With a lot of persistence on God's and my part I did it for years. The moment I Truly was Born Again, I gave up tv completely for the first few months...that was really hard to do, but I felt God calling me to do it because of all of the filth in it. After a few months I felt I was going to go crazy if I didn't do something, so I went to the theater. It was a pretty entertaining clean movie, and I wasn't sure if God was ok with it or not. I was very prayerful and scared. I came out from the movie feeling great! I know God had me give it up completely to teach me discipline and to teach me what movies to not watch at all, when to turn off a movie, and when to block out certain parts. We have to be sensitive to what God is telling us. I am still VERY particular when it comes to music and television. IF I feel myself going down the wrong road I turn it off. I also, now, listen to secular music on occasion. There are some AMAZING SONGS that make me think of Jesus and Heavenly things, even if the artist was not. Always follow God on these issues. I wasn't sure if people who watched tv could even be saved at one point, now I watch it with much discretion. I am now also questioning other things like cigarettes and tattoos. When I gave everything to Jesus, I left nothing back. When I quit tv altogether, I was following Jesus. When I starting watching it, cautiously I was prayerful and following Jesus. The Key Is Jesus. And following Jesus, through the HOLY Spirit and the Bible. Holiness is hugely important to drawing near to God and seeking Him for Salvation, and after giving your life to Him, it is a given and automatic of sorts. People sometimes like to give a list of rules to follow that show your saved. If you get Born Again...you wont need people to tell you what is right or wrong, God will show you in time. The Bible is obviously the final authority, and the HOLY Spirit helps us understand. If someone says something we should ALWAYS think about what they said to see if it lines up with Scripture and Jesus. If their right listen, if they are wrong don't. Anyways I have been wanting to share a song that I like. I really like Christian music ALOT!!! But sometimes I need something to help me kick some of the evil's butt... If you are not feeling this right now that's cool. Follow Jesus. To set this up I want to show a clip from the movie transformers... It shows evil... When Im dealing with that sometimes songs like this can be helpful... First transformers... Then the cool Christian rap song...
