Music and Sex: Suprise! They're Connected! by Mitali Perkins
Can music influence our moral behavior as Mitali Perkins suggest in her article “Music and Sex: Surprise! They're Connected!” Can the arts influence our worldview? Read what Andrew Fletcher once said: “Let me write the songs of a nation, I don’t care who writes its laws.”
Chuck Colson said "The best way to overcome banality is to demand something better- to seek out, as Paul wrote in Philippians, whatever is noble, right, pure, admirable, and to 'think on these things.' Paul is commanding us to discipline ourselves to reflect on excellence. And he doesn't limit that to spiritual things, either. The command applies to everything- the music we listen to, the books and magazines we read, the films we watch."
The Biblical View: Exodus 35:30-35; Philippians 4:8; 2 Corinthians 10:3-5 (this text tells us what we are to do with those false worldviews presented in the arts that are "raised against the knowledge of God"- Verse 5: take them "captive to the obediance of Christ.")
