Man, in the last chapter of Judges (21), we see an example of God's people doing whatever they wanted. And the results were not cool. The men of the tribe of Benjamin ended up stealing young women for their wives. This was crazy, messed up stuff.
How our very souls cry out for standards -- rock solid guidelines that don't change with the tide of public opinion. While it might seem wise to adapt to certain things and conditions, there are some absolutes that should never be broken.
On the inside of the vinyl record (or "run off," as it's sometimes called), there are usually manufacturing and catalog numbers etched in. On Led Zeppelin's III album, however, is the creed for satanism: "Do What Thou Wilt." But that just doesn't work too well.

Posted by: lezli at January 25, 2005 09:40 PMDoes music really affect me (why is my foot tapping?)?

That silly little inscription just describes what happens everytime I live out James 1:14-15. Turns out the music isn't the issue, the problem is me. WHEW! Guess I better praise God and go do a little hobbit inspired Misty Mountain Hop.
