The spirits behind the music...

Music can bless us, move us, motivate us, and relax us.  We can use music to uplift, dedicate and bless others, and most of all we can use music to praise God.  The Word of God in the holy scriptures is filled with examples of how God has given us the use of music to do all the above.  But the world which the Bible teaches is under the control of the evil one (1 John 5:19), perverts all good things that God has given us and uses music to curse, depress, alter reality, and blaspheme God.  

The above video is only a small example of the power music can have upon a culture.  Like any other art form, music is a time stamp of what is going on in the culture and where the society is headed.    We have seen how music, art, film, literature, etc., has changed over the passed several decades.

While most want to ignore the potency media has upon society, culture and behavior, we know that we can definitely see the impact because we can always look back in time to see where we where, and where we're going with regards to morality, mores and norms.   What was once considered reprehensible can within just 2 decades be acceptable.  

Music, fashion, art, literature, film and all sorts of expression reveals the individual and collective human heart.  

Ultimately, if any of these expressions do not offer praise to God in the talent of that art form that He has given humanity, the expression is worthless.
