Are Jazz Christian Songs Sinful? Dear Brother Ron Can we sing Christian songs with jazz or country music in them? You add your own flavor to Christian songs. Does God consider this a sin? Legenda Dear Legenda The Bible tells us to make a joyful noise unto the Lord. It does not require that noise to have certain words or musical styles. I have written many spiritual songs with different tempos and influences. My virtual guest artists range from Earl Scruggs to Jerry Lee Lewis. If your songs praise God and rejoice in His goodness, I doubt that He will be offended. Best always Brother Ron |
