music over the years has changed rapidly, and not in a good way either. Mrs. Desalvo say, "music has been dumbed down". personally I'm not a big fan of Beethoven and Bach, but if you look at their music compared to today it is much more complex. today's artist's talk about all kinds of junk and it sells for millions. rapper's song's especially, are very dumbed down. if you really take the time to research all the artists that you listen to, you will find that they are just spiting junk into your mind.
Lil Wayne,T.I.,Beyonce,and Lady Gaga,are examples of this. I'm not saying that we should all go back to the old days and sing old hymns. seriously some hymns are pretty amazing. the new Doxology, O Worship the King,and Joyous Light,that are beefed up today are awesome! so awesome christians artists are, Kari Jobe, Toby Mac,lecrae, Kutless,which now has a worship cd,and Flyleaf.
The beat sounds amazing! If this is the only reason why you like secular music, then why don't you like christian music? some christian artists have awesome beats too. But not all Christians are what they say to be. i recently found this out about Mary Mary. at the encounter i attended this past weekend, they showed us this video.in one of my favorite songs,God in me, they are not talking about the King of Kings, my God, they are talking about a different god. this video exposes all the artists that we listen too, even Michael Jackson.
it shocked me all over, i did not realize how trashy the music that we listen to really is. this video can be found on you tube of course, and its called "The Truth Behind Hip Hop". this is just a little preview of the real video. the real video has to be downloaded. i would advise everyone to see this video, it really hits hard. as my mom and everyone else says, "garbage in, garbage out".
when we expose ourselves to all the media and music we take in everything that we hear and see. It really hits all the five senses in everyway possible. think about the movies that we watch every friday night, or saturday, whenever you go to the movies. most of the movie today show waaay too much! im not saying that we should all watch g rated movies, there are some good movies out there.
the movie,"one night with the king" is a great example. it involes the great story of ester. it also has romance and awesome biblicalness, yes that is a word to me. so i encourage all of yall to try watching the things that you take in everyday. bi
