Secular Music - Is it a Sin?

Yeah dont think all secular music is bad there is definately some I dont feel comfortable with anymore(i.e. too sexual,talking about bad things in the lyrics) .I mostly only listen to christian rock and metal ,steampunk and gothic christian.This means alot to me to say this ,I read this book called"God loves the freaks" when i was 25 and it changed my life and how I viewed God loving me.According to my family the things I liked and the way i was it wasnt possible for God to really love me,accept me and after reading that book Ive just never been happier to be me.God has used songs to get my attention that were not christian but were not negative for example I was having a really tense day I was driving to work and I knew when i got there I was going to have to make a decision about whether to accept a promotion or not because the position was so stressful and this was when i was having 20 plus panic attacks a day so i was very conflicted ,i kept flipping through channels and suddenly felt complete peace and felt God telling me to listen ,the song was " the middle" by jimmy eat world.I love the lyrics"it just take some time little girl your in the middle of the ride,everything everything will be allright,you just do your best do everything you can and dont you worry what the bitter hearts are gonna say".I did take that position I did do my best but over 2 months my attacks went up so i spoke with them and them let me have my old position back and all this in peace because God reminded me he was with me and i could just do my best and everything would be ok.Um ok thats my little story lol.

This is a really beautiful story! I've had the Lord sing me PLENTY of secular music songs as well as worship songs for a number of reasons. It's always been such a comfort to me :)

[MENTION=32099]theLords[/MENTION]: Hi there! So are you into hard rock, too?

I think hard rock style can reinforce the effect of Christian lyrics, also.

Blessings.
