Hey I'm just wondering what peoples' views about Christians listening to "secular" music are. Is it right? Does is depend on the music? Is it wrong?
thanks,

well, it depends on the music and wether it is detrimental to your relationship with God, wether it has a bad inflence on you. Some people are easily influenced by the negative music they listen to, and others aren't. If you're not sure about some music, just don't listen.

Listen to whatever you want and come to your own conclusions. If you find yourself drifting as a result, than ya...it's probably a bad thing for you.
I'm on the radio for 6 and half hours playing christian music 5 days a week...after work I sometimes need to hear something different on the way home.

What you listen to can have a huge impact on your life. When I was in a stage of rebellion of my life when I was about 12, all I listened to was hardcore rock music and the sort..... just terrible music..... full of swearing, references, etc. And I found that after listening to that for just awhile (for about 2 weeks) I was saying the same stuff that I was listening to. Yes, I was swayed easy, mainly because I was in a state of rebellion, BUT, the music still had an impact. If I hadn't of heard some of the stuff in the music, I wouldn't have even said it in the first place.
All I can say is this: just listen to what you're listening to! (I hope that makes sense.) Think about what is being said. If it's bad, try not to dwell on it. For me, I just can't stand listening to swearing and references in music, it makes me sick. It's kindof being hypocritical, you know? Colossians 3:8 deals with filthy language. If filthy language is condemned, then I can't even begin to bear listening to it.
There are actually a lot of "good" secular bands out there, actually, but that doesn't mean what they're singing is "good." I mean, Blink182 is awesome, and most of what they sing doesn't express something immoral and stuff like that... but there's the occasional "immoral thing" in their music. I wouldn't stop listening to their music though.
