Life, not Music

And He was saying to them, "Take care what you listen to. By your standard of measure it will be measured to you; and more will be given you besides.” - Mark 4:24

A radio message I once heard based on “Take care what you listen to” was 100% unbiblical. The “preacher’s” purpose was to have me not listen to the wrong kind of music; he had taken the sentence completely out of its context. His brother James properly applied Jesus’ meaning when he wrote: “…prove yourselves doers of the word, and not merely hearers who delude themselves” (1:22). When you hear God’s word, pay attention and do it.
