The composition of music\/movies\/books\/novels begins with the&nbsp;<span style=\"text-decoration:underline;\">conception<\/span>&nbsp;of an idea or thought in the mind\/womb (of its composer, publisher, creator). This is sometimes referred to as&nbsp;<strong>inspiration<\/strong>. The important question for us the consumers is who planted that thought or idea in the mind (womb) of the composer\u2014God or Satan.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\"><span style=\"font-family:Corbel;font-size:12pt;\"><span style=\"color:black;\">Some erroneously believe that lyrics or script alone make music, movies, books, novels, magazines secular or not\u2014i.e. whether it contain religious Jargons or not. To some, when a song or movie does not contain the word &#8216;Jesus&#8217; it is secular. This is an unbiblical way of discerning art based solely on sensory perception. There are songs, movies, books, novels etc.&nbsp; that have no religious Jargon in them but are inspired by God because the theme or message it carries is a scriptural one. In like manner, there are&nbsp;songs, movies, books, novels etc.&nbsp;that contain all the right religious Jargon but have no power in them because they were not inspired by God but were produced for commercial or other reason. In 2 Cor 5:16, we learn that we are NOT supposed to know, discern or judge each other&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"color:red;text-decoration:underline;\">after the flesh.<\/span><span style=\"color:black;\">&nbsp;Likewise we must not know, discern or judge&nbsp;music, movies, books or other artistic expressions&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"color:red;text-decoration:underline;\">after the flesh<\/span><span style=\"color:black;\">&nbsp;but rather&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"color:#3366ff;text-decoration:underline;\">after the spirit<\/span><span style=\"color:black;\">. Ask yourself, what is the spirit of this song and what is it promoting? Christ and his values or the values of darkness?<\/span><span style=\"color:#333333;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\"><span style=\"font-family:Corbel;font-size:12pt;\"><span style=\"color:black;\">The word secular is&nbsp;<strong>never&nbsp;<\/strong>used in scripture and for good reason. It is because this word means &#8216;without God&#8217; and there is nothing in this Universe that exists apart from God and His Word (Hebrews 1:3). Everything is upheld by God&#8217;s Word. God is omniscient, omnipotent and&nbsp;<span style=\"text-decoration:underline;\">omnipresent<\/span>&nbsp;even in hell (Psalm 139:8). There is nothing that is secular BUT there are artistic expressions (songs, movies, books, novels, arts etc) that are&nbsp;<strong>not<\/strong>&nbsp;<span style=\"text-decoration:underline;\">inspired<\/span>&nbsp;by God. How then do we know whether a particular brand of music or art is inspired by God or not?<\/span><span style=\"color:#333333;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\"><span style=\"font-family:Corbel;font-size:12pt;\"><span style=\"color:black;\">We know this the same way we know when a particular sermon or person is inspired by God or not. We know:<\/span><span style=\"color:#333333;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>\n<div style=\"text-align:justify;\"><span style=\"font-family:Corbel;font-size:12pt;\"><span style=\"color:black;\">by the prompting of the Spirit of God in us<\/span><span style=\"color:#333333;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div style=\"text-align:justify;\"><span style=\"font-family:Corbel;font-size:12pt;\"><span style=\"color:black;\">by the&nbsp;<span style=\"text-decoration:underline;\">fruit<\/span>&nbsp;of that art<\/span><span style=\"color:#333333;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div style=\"text-align:justify;\"><span style=\"font-family:Corbel;font-size:12pt;\"><span style=\"color:black;\">when the contents or theme of that art promote the fruit of the spirit or not (Gal 5:22-23)<\/span><span style=\"color:#333333;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\"><span style=\"font-family:Corbel;font-size:12pt;\"><span style=\"color:black;\">These 3 steps are easier than we think. For example when your hear a particular song , how do you feel? Something inside you knows whether this song promotes the  fruit of the spirit in you or not i.e. whether it makes you peaceful, loving, kind or violent, perverse and angry etc. We already know how to discern. We must simply exercise these spiritual muscles more.<\/span><span style=\"color:#333333;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\"><span style=\"font-family:Corbel;font-size:12pt;\"><span style=\"color:black;\">Anything that is preached, taught, filmed or composed as music&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"text-decoration:underline;\"><span style=\"color:#333333;\">that&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"color:red;\">runs contrary<\/span><span style=\"color:#333333;\">&nbsp;to NT scripture<\/span><\/span><span style=\"color:black;\">&nbsp;and promotes the works of the flesh (Gal 5: 19-21) is not inspired by God even if it contains Christian words.

Rather they promote the spirit of scripture. On the other hand, if the theme of a song or movie promotes sexual impropriety, violence, disobedience, hate, fear and other works of the flesh, then this theme clearly runs contrary to scripture hence it cannot be inspired by God. Let us all endeavor to develop our spiritual senses and discern things after the spirit and not merely from a fleshly or sensory perception level.<\/span><span style=\"color:#333333;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:28pt;\"><span style=\"font-family:Corbel;font-size:12pt;\"><span style=\"color:teal;\">2Co 5:16<\/span><span style=\"color:#333333;\">&nbsp;
