How should the fear of God impact our music choices? In this video clip, Kevin Swanson explains that the music a family listens to is very important and influential. Music can either keep or break the first commandment by how it reveres and honors God. Sadly, much of the music released today does not honor God. It is a responsibility of fathers to discern whether music is or is not reverential and use God-honoring music in their homes. While there are many varied music forms and there may be slight variations from family to family, families ought to attempt to honor God through even the music they listen to. 1 Corinthians 10:31 (NKJV) – “Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.”

I think the kind of music a family listens to is important. Music portrays either a fear or reverence of God, a keeping of the first commandment or a breaking of the first commandment. A lot of music today is not super reverential. And fathers, I think, just need to sort of discern what they perceive to be more reverential music and and use that in their home. Now granted there's something somewhat relativistic about the music forms that some families will choose and that's alright.

It's just you know as families we we do we try to reverence God and find music that does just that. ["Pomp and Circumstance"] you
