Pop and Country Secular Music

It's not wrong to sing about work, love, fathers, mothers, war, death, pain, crime, gunfights, babies, weddings, murder, driving trucks, wine, beagles, sunsets, beaches, and trees. In fact, we should sing about these things. But be careful. Kevin Swanson reviews the top 5 songs in the nation, and finds lesbianism, animalistic sex, narcissism, one night stands, and other pure forms of unadulterated trash. Then he turns to the top 5 country western songs in the nation, and finds the good, the bad, and the ugly.

Music is extremely powerful. Kevin urges careful discernment when it comes to music for our families, because this is what will solidify our children's world and life view. Be careful to consider the social context of the songs and the redemptive elements or lack thereof. As the music gets darker, and the descriptions of fallen, hell-bound man become increasingly stark, how does a Christian listen to it? How can he enjoy it? Important answers to these highly-relevant issues contained on this issue of Generations. If your family listens to music written and performed by unbelievers, you must listen to this program. Discernment is critical. It may save your family.
