A friend of mine at work has a HUUUGGEE music library available that he allows select few listening privileges to. I am on this list! YES... In this collection he has music that I grew up listening to as well as the latest Christian music. It's extensive. I have created a play list and typically work with the music pouring in through my headphones...
I was running a server rebuild through a deployment pack...at a point where I had a minute or 2 to myself. Lincoln Brewster was pouring through the speakers and my heart was rejoicing. I grabbed by Blackaby devotional and read today's devotional. As I was about 2/3rds through the reading, the song changed. It changed to a song by one of the groups I listened to as a kid. A non Lord glorifying song. What I experienced was kind of weird. I couldn't focus on my devotional. In fact, I became convicted and promptly removed all the worldly songs out of my playlist.
I am sure that there are folks out there that can do that without issue. But, for me, it was like taking a shower and using dirt as soap. It felt counterproductive. It just didn't work.
