  1.  LIFE IS SHORT - JAMES  4:14, Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.                _________________________________________________________ 2.  DEATH IS SURE - HEBREWS  9:27, And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:                             ROMANS  6:23, For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.                                    _________________________________________________________ 3.  SIN IS THE CAUSE - ROMANS  5:12, Wherefore, as by one man is entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all ...

  YES..... Many have made professions of faith, turned over a new leaf and started doing better. They have given up old habits and changed their style of living to later return back to the same old habits they had before. Their profession was from their head and not from their heart.  JESUS SAID: MATTHEW  7:21--23, Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name done many wonder works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.    _________________________________________________________ Making professions from the head, doing good, being baptized and joining the Church are all good works but the Bible teaches we are not saved by works.                          ...

  ( COUNTRY MUSIC AND THE BIBLE )  -  { PT.  3 }  -  If you are not saved, please repent and give your heart to the Lord before it is too late. If you have been saved and still listen to this filthy music, then bow your head and ask God to show you the truth. If you have an open mind wanting to know the truth, then God will show you. If your mind is already make up and you don't care about the truth, then there is no need to ask the Lord. If you ask the Lord from the depth of your heart to show you the truth about country music, I am sure that you will see that it is wrong. When the Lord shows you the truth, burn all the filthy records and tapes plus anything else that pertains to it. Get it as far away from your mind and sight as you can. Begin feeding your soul on the things of God. Get hooked on the Lord and His work instead of the works of the Devil. These words are given in the wonderful Name of the Lord.

  COUNTRY MUSIC AND THE BIBLE  -  { PT.  2 }  -  Look at what God says:   EPHESIANS  5:19--20 - Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;  -  God said speaking in SPIRITUAL songs. There is nothing spiritual about a tear in your beer. Most of your country music singers even indulge in alcohol and drugs along with adultery and fornication. Many end up broke, become alcoholics, drugs addicts, and suicidal. For a Christian to build his or her life around this type of life style is contrary to the Word of God. As a Christian, we are to watch the kind of diet we feed the inner man. Honky Tonk music may excite the flesh but it will do nothing to bring you closer to God. On the contrary, it will do much to take your heart far away from God. You can measure your spiritual...

tyl   Country music swept this land for many many years. Many live and survive on this music. Many could not make the day without this dominating force. Even Gospel music is being patterned after the country music style. The Devil will use anything to get the attention of men and women. If he can make you past your feet and stir the flesh it makes him happy. Christian's in particular should avoid country music. Country music will feed your soul with an unhealthy diet of lust and desires. Country music is noted for its wine, women, and song. You can gain nothing Spiritual for your soul listening to country music. They have been a lot of husbands that have become unfaithful to their wife because of this trashy music that stirs the flesh into sin. Likewise, there have been a lot of wives become unfaithful to their husbands listening to this music. JAMES  3:11, Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter? No. You cannot sing Amazing Grace in Church on Sunda...
