I didn't get offended. I can admit, being in the music ministry that many of these things are true. No, not all the time, but they do exist!
Thou dost protest tooooo much!

*shrug* I just think that musicians and singers get a bad rap because they are expected to be in touch with God 100% of the time, even when the minister or the saints aren't. And then when they aren't, they're labeled as "carnal" or as this blog misrepresented, "music devils."
I'm not offended. I'm just pointing out that the blog isn't accurate in my experience. I know too many great men and women of God who have devoted their entire lives and talents to God's service. That alone is to their credit. I wouldn't call anyone who is using their gift[s] for the glory of God a "devil." Even on a bad day.
