I have never really been one to listen to Christian music. It's not that I don't like it, I really enjoy it on Sundays and Wednesdays, but I don't want to listen to it in my spare time. I've had KSBJ programmed into my radio ever since I got my car, but up until a few weeks ago I had only actually pressed the button a few times. There's better things on the radio anyway, right?
Wrong.
On a whim, I began listening to KSBJ a few weeks ago and heard that they were advocating a '30-Day Challenge' in which you listen only to KSBJ for 30 days and see how it "changes your life". I haven't taken up their challenge, but I have been listening to KSBJ a LOT more lately. And you know what? I like it. It's a great way to start my day, and it fills my thoughts with positive messages of God's love and grace. Do you ever actually listen to the lyrics to songs on mainstream radio stations? I enjoy Ke$ha and Pitbull as much as anyone, but holy cow. It's easy to sing along and to say that it's ok because I'm just saying the words and not following the ideals presented. But according to Jesus, "...whatever comes out of the mouth proceeds from the heart, and this is what defiles" (Matthew 15:18).
How can we expect to have Godly hearts when we are voluntarily filling our ears with non-Godly messages? And even worse, how can we expect to become more Christ-like when such messages are coming out of our mouths?
This week, I would like to offer you a challenge. Listen to KSBJ on your way to work or to school in the morning, and see if it makes a difference in your day-to-day life.
I hope that all of you have a wonderful week. Stay strong! Spring Break is right around the corner!!!
