Out of the same mouths come praises and curses.

If it praises God, then hear it in His house. If it doesn't, it doesn't belong there.

At my house, I don't like rap music. When my nephews come to visit me, they know better than to crank up the stereo to Tupac or whatever his name is. I don't appreciate the lyrics or the messages in my house.

Same with God. God wants our praise and he wants us to worship Him, and only Him. I'm sure He doesn't want us bringing rap into His house, either...especially when the "artist" is rapping about guns and murder and incest and beating or cheating on your wife. That's not for God's glory.

The church isn't my private listening studio. It's God's house of worship. It's a place where all hearts can go to worship Him.
