Salvation / Christianity / Being Saved – is a fact.
People are either saved, or not.  Dogs don’t fly…birds don’t bark.
Christians live like Christ desires – not like the rest of the world.
Proverbs 8:13
Do you decide what you like or hate based on opinions or the Lord.
“I don’t have a problem with it.” – might get you into trouble.
What God says is right or wrong is the only standard.
Romans 12:1-2
God desires that we commit our lives to Him.
He doesn’t save souls for people to do what they want…it’s all for His glory.
Colossians 3:16-17
Godly music is important to Believers – God made it that way…listen to it.
Not only listen, but also share it with others.
Christian music is like medicine for the Christian soul
(back to Romans 12)
Secular, or worldly (music) doesn’t mean anything that doesn’t say Jesus…
If God has a problem in it, you shouldn’t listen to it, watch it, participate in it.
What do you do to make sure you are not conformed to this world?
Making decisions based on what most people do can be dangerous.
It is wise to test to see what is the right thing to do, or not to do.
Not everything that is fun is bad, but everything that is evil is ungodly.
Proverbs 9:9-18
Some people live shorter lives because of the decisions they make.
Being Godly is for your own good.  Living for God ultimately helps you.
The Lord wants us to be wise and have it good.  We just have to follow.
The devil can make wrong things seem sweet…better be careful.
If you keep-up with the world, one day you will find yourself out of date with God.
