Secular Music Quotes

• You say, 'Well, I love secular music.' Let me just share something with you: I don't care. I'm not going to go there; this is what I'm going to tell you: It doesn't matter to me whether it's secular or Christian. My question is, what's being said in those words? Because if what's being said in those words contradicts the will of God, you're violating His will, and you're loving it.

  Paul Washer

  Christian, Care, Matter

  William Booth

  Devil, Doe, Harmony
