I was on the road today, and as I was driving I was listening to the radio. Well on the norm I don't usually listen to rap but for some reason I let it on. The reason I bring this up is that in this rap song the artist was so disrespectful to women. I have heard many other song we listen to each day and I am shocked at the message they put out. Not only as adults but our children.
We know what we eat builds our bodies or destroys our bodies. It is simple, what we take in feeds us. If you eat all fats and sugars then your bodies will become ill but if we eat good wholesome foods we become strong. The same can be said for what we watch or listen to. Listening to songs about disrespecting women, Cop killing, sex, hurting others..is not what we should be feeding our minds. There is a wonderful singing artist that I love her music. Beyonce is an outstanding artist but when you listen to one of her songs that is on the radio now it may make you think. The song is called "Put A Ring On it." A friend of mine's daughter who was 11 years old sand it in the house when I stopped over. What are trying to teach our children? Same with many movies and video games out there are filling our minds with trash making us inside sick and hardened to life. There is a video game out there called "Grand Theft Auto" which gives you points for stealing a car and even has a part where you may kill a cop. WOW.....
Is this what we want to teach our children? Is this what we want to fill our hearts and minds with? During this season of Lent lets us give us many of these hurtful things and fill our hearts, minds and souls with things that will fulfill us. God has given us so many wonderful things to experience in life but many just want to play video games, watch porn, do drugs, disrespect others, etc.... Don't let the enemy win.... Fill your life with love, hope and light not darkness, hate, and death.
Have a Blessed Day....
