Recently, Charles and I deleted our secular music off our iPods. Charles deleted everything and not one song is from a secular band anymore. Now, I deleted 400 songs worth of secular music, but I left songs I couldn't let go of.
Here's why: I don't feel that God is going to be disappointed or saddened by me keeping a song that may not be from a Christian artist, but still reminds me of Him. I've read up on it a bit, in 1 Corinthians it says, "Do all to the glory of God". If I'm singing a song that reminds me of Him, then I'm singing to or for Him. How could that be bad?
My point is, we're supposed to do things for Christ. So if we see God in things that aren't bad, but aren't obviously praising Him, yet in our hearts it's praise, can it be bad?
I heard a song that I absolutely adore, by Michael Buble. It's called Haven't Met You Yet. Charles wasn't really thrilled with the idea of me wanting it since it's not by a Christian artist and I understand that. The song (to me) is about waiting patiently for the person God has created for you. Now the song doesn't mention God, but even Christian artist don't mention Him in everything. I like the song and I want to buy it.
I guess what I'm getting at here is:
Am I wrong for wanting to listen to music that isn't out in out praising Him, but I feel like I'm glorifying Him by singing a song I feel is for Him? I just want a few opinions from people who know the Bible better than me. In my head, I don't feel it's wrong. The songs I've kept or want do not disgrace Him or put Him down. While listening to some, I even think they're about Him. I don't see how that's wrong. Maybe I'm wrong in thinking that?
