Most of the popular music that I grew up listening to I am finding out was drug inspired. What I mean is the artist who wrote the songs came up with the inspiration for the music while using illegal drugs. That is one reason why there are so many one hit wonders in pop music. Only truly gifted song writers wrote songs for a living.
Most of the movie stars from my youth were immoral. They were adulterers and fornicators. They did not honor God or their marriages.
What am I saying? Entertainment is the world of anti-Christ and lawlessness. This is why trying to Christianize the world is a waste of time. This is why being a friend of the world makes you the enemy of God.
"Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God." James 4:4
Entertainment is popular because it is popular. It is designed to draw you in and keep you coming back for more. The world is not planet Earth, but the organized systems by which society functions.
When you realize this, you begin to appreciate having three services a week to hear the Bible taught and truth preached. It is a small price to pay to keep on the straight and narrow path.
"Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it." Mat.7:13-14
