There is a danger of trying to sing in a secular musics as you said before. (you can't serve TWO GODS), Artists like Whitney Houston , M.C. Hammer (I saw both concerts!!) though they claimed to be Christians, I can't see how thei songs will call many people to Christ. Why, because the lyrics are quite weak to do so !! Furthermore, their dances are more erotic dances rather than dances that are meant to be for Christ !!! But I believe God can use these people as well if they open their hearts and follow God's Way !!! -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hilli Gibson |\/\/\/\/\/| Computer Power Software Pty Ltd Australia | |
