It's not songs im personally writing, the songs i do write and purely me stating what's happened in my life and what not. The ones im questioning are ones on the radio etc... I'm newly active and need my faith strengthening greatly, i have a great way to go until i feel the spirit like i once did, but i've got myself back on the path to Christ :)

I live in a city... with plenty of evil around me, so im pretty much stuck in the middle of it if it kicks off i'll bring my book of mormon out and go fighting!!

i know the deal with cursing... that's not what im asking about haha! im asking about the songs general message :)

Oh no, nothing like that... but some artists i like, for example, one i've always listened to - Hopsin... yes he curses - however the message he brings out is meaningful and he carries a lot of frustration with the world, very similar to eminem's earlier work.

I know that the church would encourage artists to spread word of the gospel and positive messages in music, but if an artist used music as a therapy to get un-pure thoughts out and used it as a kind of a buffer, what would the general stance on that? Would Heavenly Father and Jesus extend the view that artists do not depict themselves in such songs and that that kind of self expression is acceptable, or would this simply not be the case? I've wondered about this as many artists rely on pain when writing music - especially in the genre i grew up listening to, and so i wondered if that would upset their standing with Heavenly Father. Weird question i know

Hey guys, nice to meet you both! :) are you newly converted? :)

Hey guys, My names Michael, I'm 19 and live in the Sheffield area in the UK. I converted in 2010 but fell away from the church... Long story short i could never get the church from my mind and was praying to God for him to give me the true church to fill that part of the void i felt, walked around the corner and BAM , two missionaries happened to be there just after i'd prayed... The Lord works in mysterious ways So now im back as an active member as i know when to take a hint, or in that particular case, a massively loving nudge haha! :')
