Acknowledging God in Music

 There are several performers that have had an opportunity to acknowledge God in their songs and have not.  Whitney Houston famously said in her song, The Greatest Love of all, "learning to love yourself it is the greatest love of all" which is a lie; she should have said, "learning to love the Lord, it is the greatest love of all."  I believe that Whitney would still be alive today, if she only acknowledged God.

Frank Sinatra famously said in his song, My Way, "what is a man what has he got, if not himself he has not" this is also untrue because he should have said, "what is a man what has he got, if not the Lord he has not" Frank Sinatra could have had a powerful testimony if he only acknowledged God.

Jay Z said in one of his songs, Empire state of mind; "Jesus can't save you and life begins where the church ends" As Christians we should of had a problem with Jay Z saying Jesus can't save you, because our children listen to him and emulate him.  Saying Jesus can't save you is also untrue because there is no life in this world or the next without Christ Jesus [Luke 20].

I don't listen to a ton of secular music, so these are just some examples of things that I have heard; I am sure that this sort of thing happens on a regular basis so we have to be careful who/what we listen too.
