Okay y’all, I don’t usually mention religion, but I am a little bother by the notion that music that is created to inspired people is of the Devil if it’s not gospel. This conversation came about after I asked a young lady what type of music does she listen to. What did I do that for? She went on to say that she only listens to gospel music/certain of gospel/like old school Mahalia Jackson type of gospel. She stated that she can not serve two GODS by listening to two different types of music. I told her “Well, you know that Jesus didn’t listen to Gospel Music right? It’s hadn’t been created yet.” Needless to say that the conversation was then cut short, even though she agreed with my statement. I believe that they are many different ways to touch people who need to be touched spiritual. It does not have to be a gospel song for the message to be of GOD. If that inspirational show help you to rise up from depression, heartache, or any pain, I believe that it is GOD sent to that person. If you believe in a higher power, you probably believe that our talents are gifts and we are vessels delivering those gifts to all that need to be moved by it. That is my believe. Take “You Will Rise” by Sweetback featuring Amel Larrieux, or “Alright” by Ledisi, or “Rise” by Martin Luther. All of these songs move me to get up, get out and do something. They make my soul stronger and my mind fills with compassion and passion for my people and all of mankind (womankind). Songs like these are in my mind, musical revolution that embraces and seduces the innersoul. So what do you all think? Is Non-Gospel Music of the Devil? Or is the concept of Division Through Misguided Religious beliefs of the Devil?

When it comes to Christianity or religious beliefs, I’m more traditional even though I’m by no means “saved, sanctified” etc. etc. I do believe in the power of positive music for inspiration and uplifting people. I only try to listen to the positives (I’m still a baby in all the artist that are out there doing that). I also believe it’s up to each persons perspective. I mean if one is a traditionalist and feels that if God doesn’t have his hand in it or if the song isn’t a testimony to God’s greatness then, that’s their opinion and I can see where that person is coming from. But, God did give the artist the gift to use to the best of their ability, so I don’t see a problem as long as they are not pushing messages of thuggin and druggin and staying up to no good. I think it’s all about respecting a persons opinion whether it’s right or wrong.
