To: Tell It Right

I agree with you.

1 Corinthians 10:23 - Everything is permissible, but not everything is beneficial.

It all depends what is in your heart. Will the Father turn me away from His Heaven if Jesus has interceded for me by my acceptance of Jesus as my Lord and Savior through His sacrifice and my inviting the Holy Spirit into my heart, if I have a tatoo? (which I don’t)

I think the church is better off focusing on the Big 6 rather than running off into the woods worrying about Old Testament laws. But that’s just me.

I had a similar issue with listening to Christian rock n’ roll as a teenager when the southern Baptist churches preached against it. Does meditating on Jesus have to include rock n’ roll? No. Does it help get the message out? Maybe some, but I’ve heard few cases of that.

Does it help some who are already Christians meditate on Jesus knowing He’s intense enough to let folks spit on Him and run nails through Him, while still being the One Who’s sovereign in every way? Most definitely, especially if you were a teenager during the guitar rock era and back when bands actually practiced their backup singing.
