1 Corinthians 10:31 states: “So then, whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do all to the glory of GOD.” Therefore, I personally choose to abstain from the use of alcohol, drugs, any form of tobacco, promiscuous behavior, pornography, inappropriate music, videos, TV programs etc. I believe “garbage in-garbage out.” If negative messages and substances are going in, they will eventually result in negative consequences at some point in one’s life.

Music can bring the positive and the beautiful out in one’s life. Certain music (most powerfully the message), can be positive and uplifting-so can TV and other media, given they are conveying a positive message. For me music is a powerful tool, often teaching me more about GOD and my relationship with HIM. I can Praise my GOD, my FATHER through music. Considering music is playing continually throughout my house-kitchen, basement, bathroom (yes, I said bathroom) as well as anytime I am traveling in a vehicle, I’d say music is a huge part of my life. The other “stuff”, I have no need for!
