On the one hand, there is a view that music is simply a matter of personal preference or Christian liberty, and people can essentially listen to whatever they enjoy. On the other hand, there is a view that anything made by non-Christians for non-Christians can’t possibly be glorifying to God and, hence, should not be voluntarily consumed by those who try to build their lives around this goal. So which is it? Well, we’ll try to find out today.
