Hi everyone! I am the middle of the three sisters writing for the first time today. I have never done a blog before so we will see how this turns out. The purpose of this blog as my little sister already mentioned is to give you ideas on uplifting songs with catchy tunes to listen to. But why is it important to listen to good music? I mean does it really even matter? There is a quote by a Scottish politician Andrew Fletcher that says "Give me the making of the songs of a nation, and I care not who makes the laws." Music has a great but subtle influence over our lives. If we are listening to truth it will affect us just as listening to lies will affect us. I can tell you that the lies in certain songs really affect me. A while ago I was listening to a lot of songs about being beautiful just the way you are and that you don't have to change anything because you are perfect. The problem with this thinking is that we are not perfect; only Jesus is perfect and that our physical appearance is not matters most and it is our hearts that God looks at. A while ago my parents challenged me in this area and encouraged me to pick songs that were uplifting and meaningful. I also believe that good music can affect us just as powerfully as bad music, and I think that listening to good music helps us to enjoy life. In Ecclesiastes 3:12-13 it says "I perceive that there is nothing better for them than to be joyful and to do good as long as the live; also that everyone should eat and drink and take pleasure in his toil-this is God's gift to man." God wants us to enjoy life and I think that for a lot of people listening to good music can help them to do just that. But as most things that are worth while it does take effort to find songs with good lyrics and good music. Even some of the Christian music out there does not have truth in their lyrics. So the purpose of this blog is to make finding good songs a little easier for you. So for all the people that like rap, here is an artist that has wonderful lyrics and great tunes. Please give a big round of applause for Lecrae and my favourite song by him "Don't Waste Your Life".
