God bless you;
I come from the time of Rock's emergence from R&B and C&W, with: Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley, Buddy Holley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Elvis, Bill Haley and the Comets, The Righteous Brothers, Jan and Dean, the Beach Boys, the Beatles, the Stones, Bob Dylan, Pete Segar, Arlo Guthrie, Led Zepplen, ZZ Top, 3 Dog Night, etc.
At one time I "rocked around the clock", but found that I could "get no satisfaction" at "alice's restaurant", and that "unchained melody" had shackles.
The term "Rock and Roll", was originally black slang for the sexual act, and the music elicits strongly heated emotions.
Sanctification is a process. When one truly comes to Christ, then He indwells our hearts and begins to reshape our lives to conform to His image. The more we yeild to the Lordship of Jesus, the more He can mold and make us after His Will and express purpose.
When we lose ourselves in the sensual melodies and overwhelming emotional rhythm of the music, the less our hearts are focused on Christ and we are neither praying without ceasing, nor are our hearts glorifying Him. We take away from Him to focus on secular satisfaction. We fall far short of the Glory of God.
I will have been kickin-with-Christ for 30 years next April, and His refining is still going-on. Just allow Him to move in your heart and life, and yeild to His guidance. Seek to be in the world but not of the world.
May God so bless your walk with Him, and may He lead you upon the pathways of His perfect will and eternal love for His precious children.
