@OP, I think is wrong. the songs may teach you bad things and the song dont give GOD glory so why play it ? play the songs that will teach you what the LORD wants from us and what will make him happy. not sexy songs e.t.c .

There's no doubt that the best melodies plus sou d lyrical contents are gotten from the church. However, music is first of all melody! Enjoy the melody and if it's danceable, pls do. Whoever classified some as worldy sef?
Say that's how u perceive it! Hip hop/rap fans don't listen to it primarily for the melody or tune. It's the lyrics (the content) and delivery that we care about

this is how you people were busy not facing your front until one of you opened a thread to inform everyone he goes to brothels regularly?

How can you not know patronizing brothels is not something a Christian is supposed to be doing?

hope my post is clear and I'm not using big English?

Please who told you a song is worldly and the other heavenly. Is there any song that is writen and produced in heaven? All this new pastors with their terminology.

Any song that is carnal in nature is a wordly song.Songs which openly,directly or indirectly support indecency crime,lust or any other ungodly act are not for genuine children of God.

Why are you listening to worldly songs?

1 John 2:15 - 17 15 

''Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.''
actually, he wants to know what makes a song worldly. Make sure you understand before you comment.

Am shocked and suprised reading some lines here. It shows how ignorant many people are. Worldly songs are not good because it has power to lure people into sin. If you are serious with your relationship with God you cannot mix it with worldly song and excel. With it you will easily go back to your vomit

I have been thinking about this for quite some time now and
felt I should hear your opinions and ideas about this
sensitive issue.

Worldly songs? When is a song called Worldly? Or are all
Worldly songs bad? I really need answers to this cause I
want to learn.

Truly, when I hear some songs and their lyrical content, wow
is my next expression because they can be bad to the core
But then again, if someone sings for peace,or about the lost
of a lost one to console mourners, nursery rhymes, national
anthem, school anthems and many others good songs I
know, I tend to wonder where to classify such or are we
going to say that they are equally bad because they are
worldly?

Please o I really need your opinions.

Just like Dr Dre's "i just wanna fvck you" ft Snoop Dogg

The question is "what impact does the song have on you?". There are a lot of songs being sang these days that leads you thinking
in the wrong direction. Let your conscience guide you though.

@ OP, do u eat every sweet food that comes ur way? So u need to be selective in the type of songs u listen to.

All things are good for me, but not all things are expedient for me, all things are expedient for me, but not all things are profitable says the Bible!

kunlenkirol:
A song is classified as worldly if it is full of negatives, foul language, pornographic context and other things that are unsavoury to the ear.

sad simply block Ur ears to what doesn't bring life.Some of the gospel music/dance step too are evil.Listen to the gospel music that'll lift Ur Spirit not the Azonto,Kukere,and the latest one where they dance like a snake sadI belong to old sch cheesy)

'Old school' or 'New School' doesn't matter. You can dance and move your body - as long as its essence doesn't dishonour God. It isn't the dance steps that are sinful, it is the mind that initiates the moves that 'produces' the sin, not the limbs/waist that move in consonance with what the heart has endorsed.

I quoted all the responses that I found expedient for the Original Poster's (OP) question. Essentially, all the answers you request are encompassed in those comments.

I would only add two more Bible quotes:

''So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.'' Romans 10:17. By direct implication, foolishness, death, sin and ultimate destruction, which are all 'Anti-Faith' also comes by HEARING - but hearing in this case, words which do not edify God.

Fair and Simple!

Please ask yourself, what does 'Dorobucci,'Limpopo' and 'Eminado' mean? You think they mean 'Praise the Lord' or anything positive? I doubt. '...anywhere Doro dey, wahala dey...'

Finally, ''Guard your heart with all vigilance, with all diligence, for from it are the sources of life.'' Proverbs 4:23

You called them 'worldly 'for a reason. If its worldy then its not good as a christain.

I am someone that loves good quality music but then as a christain i need to filter what i hear.

Ask yourself these questions whenever you are listening to any of those songs.

1. Is it edifying
2. Is it glorifying God
3. Does it have any positive impact on your spiritual
life, does it increase your faith.
4. How about the lyrics, is it what a child of God should listen to, is it in line with the word of God.
5. Does the music stir up your faith or does it
increase the tendency to have lustful thoughts.
6. The videos of the musicals what do they depict?

Now note that even some of the so called christain music are not really christain, not even biblical at all. You even need to have a discerning spirit to know a true christain song.

The church has been infiltrated slowly with worldy music and if you are not careful you find out you are not praising God.

Most of those music depict sex, sex and sex, naked ladies, more sex and pollute your mind.

I know its almost impossible not to listen to those music by mistake because they are everywhere but condition your mind not to.

Have a good collection of Godly christain music. You can never go wrong with hymns and I also recommend Don moen's collections. (just felt I should add this part and you can almost never go wrong with hymns)

Also do not be tempted to filter out the one you think is good or bad out of the pool of songs. As long as it is worldly it is bad.

So EOOJ all worldly songs are bad.

OP abi na super-OP pls correct the title on the front page, its "Worldly" and not "wordly" thank you.
Re: Are All Wordly Songs WrongTo Listen To? by april4mee(m): 6:41am On Feb 15, 2015
three things make a great song. melody...groove...and lastly...the lyrics.
as u can see. nobody will take cognisance of the lyrical content of any piece at first hearing
i can bet you there are a lot of songs you think you know but if you are asked to sing it. you just keep repeating the hook.
thus no one will be a saint when it comes to eschewing circular music.
nothing like worldly music o. just that gospel music has judt found its way into the genres of music.
gospel music could be done with any groove. raggae.makosa.highlife.juju.hip hop.etc
infactvgoing by the word "gospel" which interpretes as good news. most of the songs in the gospel mudic genre font even qualify.
you see. let your consviece guide you. dont let the groove sweep you away.
make a convenant with your ears snd eyes not to conscioudly listen to or see raw music
that is if the melody will allow you. lol

It depends on the lyrical content. Dats one problem most ppl have these days. There's nothing wrong listening to songs like "happy" or "stay with me"
Re: Are All Wordly Songs WrongTo Listen To? by nyabingi(m): 6:53am On Feb 15, 2015
I love Reggae music and I love it to the bone, most of the so called gospel singers out there don't even have a message, they are the worldly, only for the money, its also important to let you knoew that the messages I get from reggae has helped my live positively for instant A true Conscious Reggae Singer believes in peace, not covetous, They sing about Jah (Jahovah), they also encourage you to always seek his face especially during crisis.
Reggae musicians like Bob Marley, Luciano, Garnet Silk, Burning Spears etc when you take time to listen to their lyrical contents you'd agree with me.

always google up the lyrics.I do that a lot...I listen to a lot of songs both gospel and rock,ballards,r n b....you can't tell me ed sheeran,coldplay,Celine Dion songs corrupt me even some Beyonce,Eminem,Bruno mars,miley cyrus songs are quite healthy.even as a christian,don't you experience love and romance,so why should songs on it be termed bad...so many people just classify songs that are not termed gospel as worldly songs..just because a musician mentions Jesus doesn't mean the song is gospel..some so called gospel songs these days are mere party songs.check the lyrics..there is nothing like worldly song and gospel songs..it is either a song is good or bad...
