Toni Braxton is a Christian. She grew up singing gospel music with her sisters.

Is it ok for you to read a book other than the Bible?

 

[Lord Flacko]

I'm a Christian, I listen to Kanye, Jay, A$AP Rocky, The Foo Fighters, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and a variety of other people. It's really not a big deal.

Again, it comes down to how much of an influence any given type of music has on you. If it makes you angry or lustful after hearing it, then it's something you should go without.

 

[Thunder Peel]

If you feel convicted or uneasy about it then I would refrain. Ultimately it's between you and God; pray about it and see what He has to say. I listen to secular music almost exclusively and I don't have any issues with it but it's different for everyone.

 

[McMatt]

Do you watch any movies other than the D-list crap you find in christian book stores? The fact of the matter is that anything that speaks truth is from god. I listen to a lot of music and at no point in time has it made me feel lustful, angry, happy or anything of the sort. It is the artist's expression of their personal experiences. "Christian" and "secular" music are terms created by the christian church for the sole purpose of profiteering off of the "christian" music by condemning the "secular"
