Two of my adult daughters love country music. I’m not here to tell you whether or not our kids should listen, but I am here today wondering about it. I was riding with my youngest daughter when she was playing it on the radio. One song said, “People say I have a drinking problem, but I got no problem drinking at all.” Right after that, a song about meeting a woman in a provocative outfit in a bar. Then another song with words that, well, would’ve gotten my kids in trouble. Here’s the question I asked, “Why do you listen to this stuff?” While the melody was kind of catchy, the lyrics were what Proverbs calls devious or crude talk, which we’re not supposed to do. Without being legalistic, tell me what YOU think. Comment at ParentMinute.org.
Suggested Reading: Proverbs 4:24, Ephesians 4:29
Although there are some country music songs that may present an acceptable message of morality or honor, a majority of the songs played on country music radio often depict the sinful nature of man as something to be desired. The tune may be catchy and pleasant, but the lyrics are contrary to how the Bible teaches us to live as a child of God.
