Apostolics and Secular Music

However we are commanded to maintain our separation (holiness) while also giving no offense to Jews, Gentiles, or the Church of God. Also not all that is lawful is expedient or wise.

Hmmmmm I guess I am a lot more different than "Apostolics" than even I thought.

I love that song sometimes singing it through the day.

Here is a song written by the Louvin Bro's an old time country gospel singing group brought back alive by a secular group. To me it sounds beautiful.

It reminds me of my own life as a new convert. When I turned to Jesus my friends would come by and say "lets go get stoned". I would tell them I was going to stay home and read the Bible. They laughed and mocked.
telling me how much fun they were having.

Probably the worse was one night two guys I had run around with came and blew their horn till I came outside. These were two "bad" dudes. I was with them one night when they started a fight with some guys on the street.

It escalated until one of them was stabbed and other took a log chain and went chasing the other guys down the street. With them it was normal to do these things.

They began demanding that I go get drunk with them. Now one of them at that present time was a Police officer in our township. The other his brother was just always bad news.

God gave me wonderful grace to tell them I had become a believer in Jesus! I got to witness to them strong. They demanded and intimidated but Jesus had been so good to me I was really in love with him. So they gave up letting me know how I was really missing out.

The one that was a cop came back another time trying to get me to go and do drugs with him. Again God used it for a witness. Several years later I saw him again and he still laughed at my testimony.

So I have a soft spot for this song. It has nice music. Excellent words. It brings back memories of a new convert standing his ground under fire.

Last of all the lead singer of the Byrds Roger Mguinn is now a believer in Jesus himself.
