Thirty years ago, when you wanted to listen to music, you put your record on and sat down and actually listened to it. Now we have portable devices that allow us to listen to music wherever and whenever we want. It is everywhere, in the malls, restaurants, and even sometimes on the streets. Music is a huge part of our culture today. It such a huge part, that we barely even notice it anymore. We don't pay attention to it. We don't listen to what the artists are actually saying.We are being subconscioulsy influenced by it. As Christians, this isn't what God had in mind for us. Romans 12:2 says, “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and accceptable and perfect.” This is essentially what we want for this blog. We want to take the music we are surrounded by and test it and discern whether or not it is glorifying to God. As Chrisitians, we often tend to give some areas of our lives over to him, while keeping others for ourselves. Music seems to be one of the areas most people feel, doesn't really have a lot to do with Him. We listen to things that are pointless, confusing, or completely against what we are taught in the word of God. Little do we know the effect it has on our lives. So, this is our goal, to make it easier for you to find and listen to songs that are not only great musically, but that will hopefully edify you and turn your eyes to the Gospel. 

My first song here is a song your probably all now and one of my all time favourites. Come Thou Fount redone by Sufjan Stevens. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07htIT4-YZ0
