I just read the article here on the site about "Rock and Roll,the Bible, and the mind"
I know when I was in the Charismatic thing, I didn't listen to my old music because they always said we would be possessed or something. After leaving, in a sort of rebellion to them.. I started listening again. It was good to feel free to listen if I wanted, knowing i would not be possessed. There are some artists that were my favorite, like say Bob Segar. I would listen, and sort of revel, but at the same time, for the first time ever, realized that the man is nothing but a pig. So I don't really listen to him anymore. The same thing started happening with other groups too.. but I still listen. When we are in the car though with the kids, my son cannot stand the music, and yells at me to turn it down lol. How embarassing!
I know too that there are some music groups that I absolutely refuse to listen to. I used to listen right before getting saved, and they are so seductive, so compelling, so alluring that I will absolutely not even listen if I see a commercial for them on TV. I will change the station. So I do know there is spirituality in music. Even if it is not Holy Spiritual.
Anyway, after reading that article, I am feeling somewhat convicted. It is as he says, like a drug. My first thought was to ask God to deliver me from the desire of it, and I will. Also, I suppose I need to repent for exposing my children to it. I am not ignoring their listening.. I am the very impetus. Just great.
Has anyone else struggled greatly in this area of music? I don't know what to do with myself!

(Mrs?) Michele, Yes, I used to struggle with rock and roll. Growing up in the age of rock and roll, I was constantly exposed to it. I still am, but I am no longer enthralled by it. The trick is...subtitution. Subtitute a different kind of music for rock. Worked for me.
In the midst of your sadness and woe, when you are tormented and afflicted, have comfort! God's will is done.
