Question
Hey Alexis,

I am a Christian-Protestant and i dont know if you could help me with this question. I listen to Christian music and i go to church and I deeply love God. Hes my saviour. However I really llike the band AC/DC. I am mature enough to understand the lyrics they sing but i dont pay attention to them. I like the way they play and i think they are amazing. I guess what I am trying to ask is if I should listen to this band anymore. The lyrics dont affect my life at all. Even though they talk about sex mainly I have stayed pure and always will until i get married.

Thank you and God bless you

Answer
Hi Jazzie,
To be totally honest, it is completely up to you whether you keep listening to AC/DC or not. I know plenty of fellow believers who do and have no problem with it.
However, if it's troubling your conscience, I would advise you to find some great Christian bands that play the same style of music. Here are some bands I have heard of that should fit the bill. I have not listened to these artists' songs, but they have been recommended by friends who also like AC/DC.

Thieves and Liars
The Elms
X-Sinner
Stryper
Petra

Hope this helps!
