NASB | Philippians 4:8 ¶ Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Philippians 4:8 ¶ Finally, believers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable and worthy of respect, whatever is right and confirmed by God's word, whatever is pure and wholesome, whatever is lovely and brings peace, whatever is admirable and of good repute; if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think continually on these things [center your mind on them, and implant them in your heart]. |
Bible Question: What do you think about listen to "worldly music"? |
Bible Answer: If by "worldly music" you mean the filthy slime of rap lyrics, acid rock, heavy metal and so on that kids (and some adults) listen to and call music, I think it's abominable and satanic. I see nothing wrong at all in listening to most forms of classical music and the music of yesteryear -- the "golden oldies," as they're often called. Some, but not all, of the newer genre of "gospel music" leaves me cold. I prefer the older hymns, but that is to be expected, I suppose, since now I am considered a member of the senior citizenry. On a broader scale, whether it's exposure to music, books, movies, television, the internet or in whatever activities Christians choose to engage, God's counsel through the pen of Paul in Philippians 4:8 is of utmost importance: "...Whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things." Trashy music, violence and gore in movies and TV, pornography on the web -- none of these have anything to commend them, and all have everything to condemn them. They have no place whatever in the life of a child of God. --Hank |
