Listening to music all the time is just another distraction. The music business has enough of our money and think of all the things that people could do with their money if they did not spend it on music. Too much of the ecomony goes to the wrong people—music industry, entertainment, gambling, fashion.
The way out of the jadedness is to do whatever you do to God’s glory... God isn’t snooty about what He elevates into His glory, He will elevate anything except sin and the devil.
Oh, music can be a wondrous worship. Or it can be a waste of time if there’s really something else God wants you working on. But quite often God extends us a range of choice. Holiness does not turn people into robots, it makes them into sheep of a lovingly fed, lovingly guided flock. But not just any sheep — sheep that have the Lion of Judah’s courage.
