Evangelist Exposes 'Darker Turn' of Taylor Swift's Music, Sounds Alarm
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 เม.ย. 2024
- An evangelist going viral for his response to pop star Taylor Swift's latest album is explaining why he spoke out and why he's hoping to encourage Christian parents to be discerning. "I'm not an anti-Taylor guy," Shane Pruitt told CBN News. "I'm [a] pro-Gospel guy." He continued, "Anything that I know is largely affecting parents, or Christians, or people in the church that seems to ... be anti-Gospel, I think we lovingly call it out."
Pruitt did just that in a April 22 tweet, gently raising concern over some of Swift's lyrics on her "The Tortured Poets Department" album. "LYRICS MATTER," Pruitt tweeted. "Disclaimer, I’m definitely not the minister or parent that has the 'no secular music' stance. Also, I fully realize unbelievers are going to act like unbelievers. HOWEVER, there is a difference between being secular, and being ANTI-CHRISTIAN."
He then pulled lyrics about people "in their Sunday best" who "try to save you 'cause they hate you," among other related sentiment. Pruitt also quoted Swift as belting out the following lines in another song: "What if I roll the stone away? They're gonna crucify me anyway. What if the way you hold me is actually what's holy?" Pruitt concluded his tweet by asking Christians whether it's appropriate to be "entertained by, sing with, and expose our kids to lyrics that aren’t just different than what you believe, but are actually mocking what you believe."
The evangelist and preacher told CBN News he believes Swift's music has changed over the years, with her songs becoming "more and more explicit" and taking a "darker turn" in the process. It's a concerning matter, Pruitt said, considering the music is consumed by many young and impressionable girls. "I think we just need to be very aware and very careful of what we're exposing our kids to and how we're even engaging with things and being entertained by things that are really anti what we say we believe," Pruitt said.
Of course, Pruitt said Swift isn't the only vice exposing some Christians' poor spiritual priorities. In fact, he said some people even struggle with sports teams and athletes, elevating these to a higher position than they should. Calling this out doesn't always go well, he said. "In recent years, I can say this - especially in the American Church - if I go, 'Hey, here's what the Bible says about sexuality, here's what the Bible says about marriage, here's what the Bible says about being pro-life, here's what the Bible says about God determining sex and gender,' you'll get some hardy 'Amens,'" Pruitt said. "People are emboldened by that."
But if he brings up idolatry, it's often a very different story. Watch him explain.

Christian parents need to stop taking their children to Swift concerts.
Laughing so hard
Father LOVES Taylor
@@CadeFrost888 not a parent are you?
Right😂
@@user-lh9pj5px3i was, and if she grows up with half of the drive, compassion, brilliance, talent, and bravery, as Taylor, I would be more than proud. Luckily, she will, because of people like Swift.
Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
Perfect comment. Says it all.
Yes
Love the performer, not always the performance.
@user-ds4br8yv3gAmen! And amen!!
affirmed, yes
I totally agree!! Christians and “Swifties” don’t mix!!
Agreed!
But Trump and religious zealot certianly do mix.
Never liked her "revenge break-up music"
BE SWIIFTIES THAN MAGA TRASH
Agree 👍
Swifties have made Taylor Swift their Idol
John Lennon was mine for a few years! Hahaha
Then I grew…..
From your assumptive comment you worship, maybe try following.
The reason why this is a subject is ego centered. Righteousness, in public display.
She display her love FOR MUSIC!
How do you display your love for Christ? Judgment? Public display of if you like that music you are not Christian mentality?
Weird, when yiu have to read out what you feel!!!
And too many Christians have made Trump their idol
@@enough1494Your words are very hard to understand. What rryan said is 100% factual. Not every fan of hers is like that, but there are quite a few who are obsessed and treat her like a God and she definitely knows it and has sung about it.
Evangelicals have made Trump their idol.
@@secularsoldier8585 said NO EVANGELICAL EVER
Taylor was really innocent when she was young but remember she is 35 now and is in Hollywood…….just listen to the lyrics parents!
Everyone enters the world as an "innocent" and all are subject to "original sin" . All posting here need to take it upon themselves to start praying for TS. Imagine her as a sold-out Christian who dedicates her music solely for the Kingdom.
@@claimproclaim3150
If someone becomes a strong Christian they will quit the music industry altogether.
@@believestthouthis7 Hard disagree on that. Just take Johnny Cash as one example. The music industry is corrupt to be sure, but to say that is almost denying that music is part of God's good creation or a denial that music can be redeemed for the Kingdom.
@@timmartin6885 There is music that glorifies God, and there is music that does not glorify God.
@@believestthouthis7 Absolutely agree. Did I disagree with this at all?
She called herself a witch. Christians should pray for discernment if they can’t see she’s part of the occult.
No she wrote” Whos afraid of little old me” because of the ones calling her a witch I love her She’s a lyrical genius
Amen to that. She actually performed a satanic ritual in concert wearing a baphomet head, but no, she's not doing anything wrong. 🙄
I have never actively sought her out, but she's been splashed over every channel, magazine and media outlet all over the U.S. If people idolize her, they need to truly seek Jesus.
I knew I hated her from the beginning for some reason. 🤮
@@reem4339are you a believer in Christ?
@@kathys8256don’t hate her. Read what Jesus says about hate in Matthew 5:43-48. She is a sinner like we all were before God saved us. If it wasn’t for our salvation we would be walking around just like her. Lost and in need of a savior. “There but by the grace of God, go I.” Keep that little phrase in mind. Anytime someone sins remember that it could be us. Even the most vile, debased sinner could be us if not for our salvation. I know we don’t know each other and I don’t answer comments, but just as a challenge to yourself, for the next 30days, every time you pray, mention her name in prayer. And no avoiding prayer to get out of it. You know that only hurts us. I have ruined my life not praying. But see what happens to you. Just add her name to your prayer list and see what happens! God bless you friend!
This woman is 35 years old now and needs to grow up! She is influencing millions of young women in a bad way. Money and power can be used for evilness.
Yeah, she should influence the world like Hollywood does, netflix, amazon prime, disney, wholesome stuff like that. Taylor is so naughty.
Does she control it or her handlers
you need to grow up and stop judgeing people
@@user-co5yp2jr8nTaylor.
She write her own music and her own words
No idols
I firmly believe she has sold her soul, and it's pretty heartbreaking. What good is it to gain the world and lose your soul.
Me too!!
It's sad to see, but until her death it's not too late, she's young and could wake up one day. Based on her current trajectory I don't think it'll be soon, but I pray and honestly hope it'll happen in her lifetime for her soul's sake.😢
Idoltry witch and occult practices at concerts too. She's open thr door wide open for occult.
@@GardenMinistry.& God gave them over to a reprobate mind. Romans 1, 1 Cor. 6

A lot of Christian’s singers are being called out because they are more secular. They have been straying away from Biblical standards.
This has been a problem since the 80s
OMG you mean Christian Nationalists have Biblical standards ? Since when, January 6, 2021?
Not only Christian singers
Amy Grant is by far the worst. She's much worse than Swift.
there is no such thing as secular music music is music
It's clear she's been initiated into the rituals they all are to become rich and famous, by the "god of this world" and his minions, and she practices their ways. You can hear the shift in her music and see it in her eyes. She sold her soul to become rich and famous.
Little girls are singing her songs..I pray God the Holy Spirit will cover all the ears of his children..Amen
I embrace Truth. There’s only one Truth, His name is Jesus, the Word. He is the only hope for humanity.
@@tinareichenberger7910 How did you escape from 1640. Someone leave the time portal open>
Who do you think is paying this guy to make these comments. The rich are and you are just dupes. Taylor has more Christianity in her little finger than all these mouth breathing pretend money grabbers. Her charitiable works are hundreds of times greater than any of these clowns professing to be holy.
It is clear she is an Adult now.
Music affects the subconscious, mood, emotions and the brain's reward system by releasing dopamine. Discernment makes a difference as the mind is not a garbage disposal.
Well said, agree!
I don’t listen to music anymore. I prefer complete silence.
That's true. But, I don't listen to the words I like the beat of the music. At age 76 and a Christian I enjoy all kinds of music. If you look at lyrics from my parents age that they loved those weren't always the best words. What some call the really old time Gospel came from the slaves and that's the way they communicated to each other, even their worship. Just as quilts were used by the Underground Railroad. They hung special ones on the clothes line saying if it was safe, directions. Right now I worry more about what is happening on college campuses. We don't want another Hitler World win genocide. Remember Israel is God's people and right now that is important what is happening.
@@mchyde9645 I cannot listen to any secular music. I always hear “I don’t listen to the words I like the beat” from others, but they do no realize that words can be way more powerful than we know. They can use music to program your subconscious mind to believe anything. You may not focus so closely to the lyrics or words of a song but the message is still there and gets into your mind regardless and can effect your thoughts on a subconscious level.
@@meganbaute4254 Well, if also listening to CATS, PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, CAMELOT, great Broadway shows have something wrong in the words then something is wrong. Like I said I listen to ALL types of music. I respect musicians because that is a God given talent. That is what I believe and many friends who are musicians have discussed this many times. I'm a writer and I know God gave me that talent, I went to college for my degrees to get the tools. Just like we go to church to worship God we go to the bible to get the tools to live our lives. That's what is so wonderful about our country Freedom of Speech and the right to Worship.
DARKER TURN?!!! Where have you been? She has been practicing real occult practices in her concerts, songs and appearance for years. When CBN , TBN and others were praising Kanye, I was scolded as being critical because his life didn't reflect a true believer and I said we should practice discernment. Not to be rude but Christians need to wake up
Kanye took a lot of persecution when he tried to be Christian.
@@watermelonlover745
But he recently said on record that "Jesus had failed him" and also bragged about becoming a billionaire having a worldly perspective on life.
Probably jealous of Taylor, she have faith!
@@j.l.5935
Faith in who? You can't have a Satanic ritual on stage at a concert and have faith in Christ.
@user-ds4br8yv3g
Oh wow.
It's only mean if you read it that way. And being discerning is the ability to tell the difference and make a distinction. Not one writer of the Bible ignored sin but called it out. According to your own standards the apostle Paul would be mean. And wisdom is the ability to make the actual practical application of knowledge. This is what happens when in today's society the people that should be students and learning from teachers in their pride assume the position of the teacher.
We need strong Christian men to lead the way in sounding warnings when they see danger.
They’re probably Swifties too.
@@RiaG777 trying to be funny? didnt work.
@@avgejoeschmoe2027 It's pretty funny. Cope harder.
@@Dan-ys8nkdon't deride people
And what danger does Taylor Swift pose?
Sadly, this is the agenda of the entertainment industry as a whole. Hook young people with something that "seems okay," then pressure the artist to begin turning darker and more perverse. They have to play ball to stay relevant and rich, and bring their fan base down the sewer with them.
Like what happened with Lil Nas X. He started off innocent but now his music is very dark.
That’s why I don’t want to be an actor, but rather be a CEO of a theme park and entertainment brand which will include traditional amusement park rides. If I was CEO of a theme park right now, I don’t care how much backlash I get, but Taylor Swift will not be welcome for a concert series for a food and wine festival until she makes clean music again. Swift will not be welcome in my company as a singer for a food and wine festival because I call her music going from clean to outrageous.
It shouldn't have taken this new album for us to see how concerning she has been with her views and stances
At the age of 39 I became a single Christian mother of three sons, 11, 9 and 8. Even at 35 my focus was on prayer prayer prayer and my husband and 3 little boys. I prayed for only God’s will in each of our lives. I pray for Taylor Swift. 🙏🙏🙏✝️✝️✝️
The same thing happened when I told a Christian sister about Disney here in Florida, she got angry and told me not to contact her again. The things happening at Disney are dangerious. One character took a photo of a teen with another Disney character and then the one holding the phone wanted the teen to pay it to get her phone back and someone interviened and asked the teen if she wanted to report it and she just took her phone and walked away. Another News report has said that some Disney employees have been arrested for sexual things towards kids and teens. Be very careful when going to Disney, always have an adult with your kids, either waiting for the ride to finish or escorting your child to the bathroom.
Or never go to disney at all. Theres no disney in heaven. Pray for disney hollywood and taylor. They all left the faith already
Look into Walt Disney and Freemasonry. He was friends with Nazis. The Disney movies and shows are all programming that is detrimental to everyone who watches.
Preach!
I would feel more comfortable in a biker bar, than in Disneyworld. and I don't even drink
Don't go to Disney
Jesus is The Word! ❤️🙏
Just had this conversation last night with my teen who wanted to blast her eras show on tv and I told her I would not glorify sin in my home. She let me know that she would do it when she no longer lives with me as an adult and I explained I get that but I have lived that life before of glorifying self serving degradation and sin and I had to be dramatically rescued by Jesus from that life so God will also meet her at the right place and time for her and until then we will need to agree to disagree.
Stay strong mom🙏🏼🔥♥️
Praying for your child & all the little swifties. 🙏🙏
Stand Strong and Keep Praying For Our Kids.
We have to be extremely careful what we allow into our subconscious. She will be being brainwashed by corporate music. Dont listen to it and try to stop her idolising its not right, rationalise with her, she doesnt know her but her live shows/music = blatant satanism
God willing, when she is older she will thank you for having protected her from a world that she innocently thought was her friend but is actually her enemy🙏🏼
A very reasoned and dignified argument by this man. "Let our life match our message" and speak the truth with love.
At this point, it couldn't hurt. Your reputation is in the toilet. Christian heretics. You drive people away from Jesus, MAGA lovers.
PUT GOD FIRST AND EVERYTHING ELSE WILL FOLLOW, BELIEVE IN JESUS CHRIST HOLY FOR HE IS THE LIFE AND THE WAY, AND KEEP THE HOLY SPIRIT RIGHT IN YOUR THOUGHTS, HEART AND PRAYER, AMEN.
There is no proof of a god. There is no proof of miracles. Religion is propaganda by the rich to keep the poor ignorant masses in line and do the biding of the rich. And if there is a god based on what he allows to happen to his creations he is not worthy of worship.
Stop screaming.
Stop screaming.
Lower case is easier on the eyes, but I totally agree w you
Oh you all are just so perfect aren’t you! Stop this!
If it doesn’t Glorify God, I want NO parts of it. That’s idol worship!
So, does this mean you never attend any single sports game, concert, comedy show, movie theater, etc?
It’s the same with Beyoncé’s music. Her music has gotten darker and more worldly and many of her fans are Christians! I occasionally every blue moon listen to her earlier music she did with destiny’s child and her first solo album but I can’t listen to her newer music.
Singer grow up learn more understand more and it is reflected in their music. Singing baby songs does not work for adults,
Both are MKUltra victims.
waaaaa call the wambulence
In my opinion Taylor Swift is not Christian
Scripture clearly says Taylor Swift if not Christian. No "opinion" necessary.
It’s not how you begin, it’s how you end. That’s why it’s called a journey. Be blessed.
Depends if she is chosen, Paul was a horrible man and became a Christian
By her own words and actions she's not.
She’s a prodigal
There should be no one, no entertainer that we can’t let go of for God or for any other reason.
Just speak the truth… Age 35 is a full-grown woman who may have children that are 10 or 12 years old… Age 35 is not a girl
If a female is young and sexually attractive, she is a "girl" as Helen Gurley Brown said. Men are more attractive and taken more seriously if they are mature and that means older since males mature both physically and psychologially later as a rule. Men are also more attractive if they are older and have gained more experience that allows them to be wealthier and have a higher status as well as being a more effective leader, which the husband in a marriage is by position. It's an insult to refer to a mature male as a "boy" since boys are not to be taken seriously in these terms of commanding resources, influence, and judgement. In contrast, even teenaged girls are much more mature and they are fertile. Older women are not fertile and so they lose their attractiveness, which is nature's way of telling men to leave them alone for romantic love and sexual attraction (unless they are already married and the husband remembers them as "the wife of [his] youth).
Males are at a huge disadvantage early on while females have much more going for them early on. Then the situation reverses over time. So, the term "woman" is not the same as the term "man" in its connotations for attractiveness whereas the situation is reversed with the terms "girl" and "boy." The simple fact is that the sexes are different.
But dating today is rough so I get why some women are still 35 and single
@@watermelonlover745 Twitter simps that loves to slander aren’t ideal.
Women at 35 are more immature than just a few years ago.
I’m sorry but almost 40 is not a “girl” lol she’s a woman.
Anything that you refuse to allow someone to question or critique --may be your idol.
Jesus deserves so much better.
No one should stand on the stage of our hearts, except Him..
Exactly, this is pure idol worship. I only bow to Lord Jesus. ✝️
Thank you for your boldness and speaking the Truth! Her music and appeal to sexual deviance has come out of the closet!
This reveals much: You can quote more Taylor Swift lyrics from heart than Scripture verses?
Actually our pastor shared his concerns about this very subject with the members. And I was very glad that he has an eye on how the culture creates idols and our children get sucked into it and shares a warning
Taylor Swift is a grown woman relaying her thoughts thru music to the youngsters. Not the best role model she is not to be an idol. Discernment is needed. Taylor and Beyonce both have ties with the occult. Pray for them they find Jesus Christ.
SHUT UP

Boycott her. She’s no roll model as she goes through men faster than JLo.
That’s the thing, putting our confidence in a person for people to look up to will always be a let down. Jesus is our role model- and as Paul said, follow me as I follow Christ. We will know good leaders by their fruit and sometimes it takes time.

I agree with you. We have to watch out. Taylor can’t blame you because she has written anti-Christian music. What does she expect?
You are so right young man!
your so wrong old lady
I agree with this 100%! After I listened to the album I was like 😕 I thank God that the Holy Spirit told me to stop listening to her altogether.
I didn't even buy this one, even removing the sacrilegious lyrics her writing has gone downhill...she USED to be a good writer who could paint a picture of that monent in time in words...look at All Too Well for an example, you can picture what she's singing about in your head.
Great guest and fabulous chat. Thank you!
Well, I AM gonna say it. As a mom, I'm definitely anti-Taylor NOW.
Her lyrics are adult in content, therefore, not for MY children. Taylor has chosen her side, and I have chosen mine. Clearly, we are NOT on the same side.
Excellent advice! The all-time, best selling book is read by few, and embraced by a remnant. Prayer is powerful, and faith without works is dead. Keep up the great work!
The Swifties are the new Manson family
your a disturbed person for making this comment
No he's right...journalists can't write negative reviews about her albums now for fear of one of her stans killing the writer just for voicing their opinion which is protected by the first ammendment!
You can't be neutral any longer. The time is now, that you are on one side or the other . The battle between right and wrong. Sorry, there's no middle ground.
Thank you for pointing this out! It's sad how her music is going in this direction.
Well you need just to look at the concert. Her seductive dress. The way she presents her self. And Im not even talking about her words! I would like to hear her side.but as a Christian I need to ask for decernment!
It isn't just secular musicians Christians make idols of...Christian musicians and ministers are idolized as well.
Taylor has shifted to a darkside money and position has attracted her to sell out to go this far
Pls pray for my 9 year old daughter. She is starting to to like her, I think it is influence from secular school and radio etc.
It is a fight of the flesh but I have warned her and remind her about dark and light in this world and the goodness of Jesus.

@@user-ll6hk7jv6y If that is your augment then you clearly don't understand the spiritual aspect of this. And no one on this thread can make you understand. Only the Holy Spirit of God. So not even going to try. Just going to pray.
Wow. Great interview! So much truth spoken in a beautiful blanket of love and grace. 💛
I agree. The "darker turn" of Taylor Swift is disturbingly obvious.
Blessed stand. Noticed Taylor's shift and was concerned for her viewers too so am blessed knowing God has this. Keep praying for Taylor's Salvation in Christ.
I agree with you christian should not be going to those places or listen to the music. She does witch craft and is very darkness iam glad you are standing up for our Jesus's he is worthy to be praised. God bless you.
Wow! So good. As I was praying this morning Holy Spirit showed me that I am guilty of loving the “things of God” more than Him. The people and things I value most are all Christ centered, but sometimes the pursuit of HIM gets lost in church, Bible Studies and fellowship with HIM.
Don't mean to be critical here, but this doesn't quite make sense. Fellowship with him IS loving him. That's what it's about. That's how I spend time with him. Reading his word, talking to him, listening to him, spending time with what he has for me. Same thing could be said of a person - a person you fellowship with and spend time talking to and listening to IS someone you love.
@@solidaudioTV I think you missed my point. My point is are we looking for Bible study, fellowship etc to check off on a check list. Do we seek friendships to have friends instead of FIRST seeking to know HIM. All of the things of God are necessary, but it all has to be to know HIM.
@@kathrynhodge3769 To quote you, you said you "sometimes...get lost in... fellow with HIM". I was thinking... fellowship with him is what he's looking for! :-)
@@solidaudioTV you are missing my point. And I don’t feel like I can help you understand, have a blessed day.
@@kathrynhodge3769 I think maybe you were saying things differently than you meant to but no offense taken. I will just end with this... please don't feel guilty about fellowship with God or think it's just a checklist item.... it's what Jesus was referring to when he commended Mary to Martha and said Mary had chosen the better part and it will not be taken away from her. Blessings to you as well!
I think "Swifties" are like a religion now. Jesus over Taylor any day. She actually sang "I'll die for your sins?" You know Marilyn Manson also sang that in one of his songs.
What a great man and so eloquently stated! I was a longtime fan and agree with the selling of her soul, she herself has identified as a Christian in years past. There is definitely a dark overtone to Hollywood, possibly satanic circles and we need to be discerning of many things. I hope she comes back to the good side!
Listen to the lyrics
Then make a decision if you child should listen
The great Falling away. It's so sad.
I'm in my early thirties. And I feel like a lot of people are so lost. They don't know who they are and they haven't had life-changing situations to understand who they are. And if one doesn't know who they are they're going to follow others who don't know who they are.
A 26 I was diagnosed with brain tumors followed by three brain surgeries. They were failed leaving me in an extreme chronic pain. I'm finally seeing the blessings years later. That situation took me to my bottom and showed me who I was. God met me there and let me at my worst and I've definitely been humbled.
I don't wish for pain for anybody. But some of us learn the hard way. And I hope everyone is able to have this experience of hitting rock bottom and truly understanding where you are at and accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and savior. We will never experience a love like Jesus Christ ❤️❤️
I haven't listened to Swifts music since 09 when she made "Love Story" so not sure what her songs are about now. But i could tell she changed in a way that seems ungodly just by looking at the thumbnails.
and the clothes she wears
It's Godly wisdom to 'watch' what we take into our souls/hearts/emotions - through our ears & through the windows of our souls - our eyes? 👀
If you are constantly listening to songs that make you sad, you're really going to start to feel down & oppressed,
if your eyes are taking in pornographic images, guess what - it results in a spirit of lust - same with watching violent films/footage, playing some of these video games it's has caused some youngsters (& older) to then 'act out' WHAT they've interacted with in the game.
Our souls are precious and I wish I had known this truth when I was growing up & starting to 'experience' the world - I would have been SOooo much better off for it!!!
Hopefully this comes across in a manner of love & care - NEVER judgmental!?! - WE'RE PRECIOUS 💌
@user-ds4br8yv3g - Dear Kathy - Did you read to the very end of my comment? = NEVER Judgmental! I just thought I would share a little bit of what I have learnt through my time here on earth i.e. our souls are like sponges that can soak up unhealthy influences as well as good - it's simply a wise thing to be watchful.
- Example -
If your a Type 1 Diabetic, it's wise to watch how much your sugar intake is, right?
Same with our human souls.
Holy Spirit guards our Born-Again spirits, IF we've made Yeshua Lord in our hearts & minds BUT we're still responsible for what we expose our souls (emotions, thought life) to, Holy Spirit showed me that & I ONCE WAS that chief amongst sinners (as Paul proclaimed).
Thankfully - DAILY I'm being saved - lol ☺
I haven't heard it yet, but I watched this. I'll probably wait a while to listen to it.
This doesn’t surprise me. I don’t listen to her music. I am a nothing secular guy. When you start allowing the world in, you will conform to the world. You will get desensitized! Our human nature is still sinful. We are not to make provision for the flesh and are to be unspotted by the world.
Yes, amen. CBN and their guests are carnal Christians without a doubt.
@user-ds4br8yv3g I don't understand how your comment is a reply to his comment. He certainly wasn't being mean. His comment is very wise!
@@kristinstrickland1038 that’s because it’s a BOT reply it’s literally on every single comment in this thread
2 Corinthians 6:14-17 KJV
14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.
Yes, You always listen to the lyrics its either going to lead to light or darkness…
Guys you're now learning the meaning of lyrics " Welcome to the Machine"... Pink Floyd is singing about this issue on Wish you were here " album.... also the album Dark Side of the Moon says "MONEY " even the Prosperity Gospel follows money😢
The prosperity gospel is not the gospel.
@user-ds4br8yv3g
I'm surprised either comment hasn't been deleted, pretty sure CBN peddles that prosperity snake oil.
She has made music the center of her life and Jesus should be # 1
Once upon a time, the girls - young women, swooned over male singer of various age. Now, they are mesmerized by Swift, K. Perry, etc.
TS Has been dark for quite a while now...
If you call poetry
wallowing in misery
and if you call that radio noise music
than mrs. Swift is the right emo girl for you !
The Bible is full of misery and darkness and death and war and pillaging and plundering and abuse. and abuse and batter. Righteousness. Chauvinistic ego driven. dictatorship. in fact it is the most violent book I think I've ever read.
As a Christian we are to judge darkness by the Bible the word of God Its dark or light choice is yours but you can't have it both ways. No sitting on the fence those times are over . No lukewarm Christian you are or your not who are you going to worship.
Music in all genres can basically be innocent. However; the lyrics are the most important part, and snares the heart and soul. In effect you are what you listen to, read, watch or serve. Walk Close to God everyday, and the pitfalls will be avoided. ☺♥†♪♫ 5-1-24
Thank you! 👏
Swift is a witch at her concerts she is casting spells
Some people say they have no memory at her concerts she said that she was a witch
nope thats a lie she never said she is a witch
Great it should be told and I back you up on what you are doing . I agree with you and it is time to start doing a show down for the errors of people that claim to be Christians and continue as thou they are not in fact truly born again.
Taking children out to witness on streets get them involved being disciples seeing Gods power
Thank you.
AMEN
🙌🏽🙌🏽🙂🤝🏽🤝🏽💪🏽💪🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Awesome. Thanks for bringing light! God bless you all! Love those reminders at the end there - unbelievers are not our enemies, they are our mission field! Know The Word! ❤
As someone who's listened to TS (I know the lyrics to most of the songs) since the age of 16ish (I'm the same age as Taylor), I agree. This last album creeped me out.
Good video. Natural and kind in your approach.
Concerning how peoples identify is completely linked to some singer or athlete.
Pathetic.
Very sad
Yes Lyrics do matter. Our priest used to quote a lot of Lyrics from popular songs when I lived in Yakima- a lot were cringe worthy- lol
My 17 yo daughter tells me all the time I’m ruining everything. I grew up in the 80’s. Best music, best movies! It’s ruined for me more
We are to love Jesus and our heavenly father God more than anyone, or anything. Love God with all our soul, heart , mind, and strength.
Even as someone who does not follow her and never did, I could tell she took a dark turn. I just didn't realize how deep in she was; I shouldn't be surprised.
Jesus Jesus only thing that can fill it
Totally agree!!
I agree
Judge your political leaders by this same standard.
I totally agree!!
I'm glad that people are beginning to see the light about her. I read that Taylor and Beyoncé are very good friends. Can't be good.
@user-ds4br8yv3g very good and true words.
What are those songs? In her TTPD album?
Yes
Sir, I am agree with you. You’re right don’t apologize when you’re right.
Let's show Taylor the way to Christ and not condmen her no one is to far gone for jesus
I thought i would hear what he said about the Taylor Swift songs and what verses he commented on.
Where can i see his video please.
No link to it in "description" under the video.
And i can't recall hearing a surname for Shane to be able to search for him.
When I heard her song Fortnight, it absolutely made me very uncomfortable, and I thought it was very disturbing. She needs many prayers and to pray for her damaged soul.
Yes, she's not beyond hope.
The great falling away........
Depart from me, I never knew you. No more damning words literally.
The problem is many young people dont think witchcraft is real. When they are confronted with it is where the realisation comes if they were taught by their parents, those around them and their heart. Praying for young people, they are still redeemable at the right time God will show they the correct way. Praying young people will accept when God calls them in Jesus name 🙏 This life is too short to live not knowing your creator 🙏🙏
When we taught youth we took them nursing homes ,parks and they loved in kingdom on earth
