Many Christians sing evil songs like ‘One Corner’, ‘Panti no n’ilo’ and other immoral songs from Flavor, Davido, Wizkid etc. This short article is meant to reveal the dangers in immoral songs and dirty jokes - two common practices among many ‘Christians’.
1. Evil Thoughts and Desires are Sinful: Ephesians 4:17 - I warn you, do not continue to live like the heathens, whose thoughts are worthless and whose minds are in the dark…
James 1: 14-15 -But people are tempted when they are drawn away and trapped by their own evil desires. 15. Then their evil desires conceive and give birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.
2. Evil Thoughts and Desires will Make You to Crack Dirty Jokes and Sing Immoral Songs:
Luke 6:45: A good person brings good out of the treasure of good things in his heart; a bad person brings bad out of his treasure of bad things. For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of.
3. The Evil Things you Say or Do Can Lead Others to Sin. And if You Lead Others to Sin, You’ll be Thrown into Hell Fire on the Last Day:
Matthew 13:41 - 42 -Theson of man will send out of his kingdom all those who cause people to sin and all others who do evil things. 42. And they will throw them into the fiery furnace, where they will cry and grind their teeth.
Luke 17:1 - Things that make people fall into sin are bound to happen, but how terrible for the one who makes them happen! 2. It would be better for him if a large millstone were tied round his neck and he were thrown into the sea...3. So watch what you do!
4. You May Claim to be a Christian (Like Christ), but if what you do or Say does not Lead people to Christ, you are not a Christian:
Mathew 12:30 - Anyone who is not for me is really against me; anyone who does not help me gather is really scattering.
5. God Strongly Condemn Dirty Words - be it Dirty Jokes or Dirty Songs:
Ephesians 4:29 - Do not use harmful words, but only helpful words , the kind that build up and provide what is needed, so that what you say will do good to those who hear you.
Ephesians 5:4 -Nor is it fitting for you to use language which is obscene, profane or vulgar. Rather you should give thanks to God.
Note:
Obscene words means words that are offensive because they are connected to sex.
Vulgar words are words that are likely to cause offense.
Profane words are words that show no respect for God or holy things.
Colossians 3:8 - No insults or obscene talk must ever come fromour lips.
Jame 1:26 - Do any of you think you are religious? If you do not control your tongue, your religion is worthless and you deceive yourselves.
Mathew 12:36 - You canbe sure that on the judgment day everyone will have to give account of every useless word he has ever spoken. 37. Your words will be used to judge you - to declare you either innocent or guilty.
Conclusion
Will you allow the pleasure of evil songs or dirty jokes to lead you to hell fire for eternity? Do you know that so many musicians, celebrities, actors and actresses are instruments the devil is using to destroy moral values? Escape for your life. Be born again. Deny sin and sinful friends and follow Jesus.
To successfully grow as a Christians, you must join a bible-practicing church where experienced Christians will teach you the bible in a way you’ll understand. You can’t get such teachings on Sunday services. Rather you need to ask your pastor/priest and he’ll tell you when they do bible study. If you’re an Anglican, join EFAC fellowship and you’ll get the right teachings there. Scripture Union is also a good fellowship to join.
Thanks for reading. Remain bless.
Daniel 12:2-3:
2 Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake: some to everlasting life, others to shame and everlasting contempt. 3 Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever.
