Listening to Godly Christian or Gospel music is more than a form of entertainment, it focuses our lives around Lord and biblical soundness. In both the Old and New Testaments in the Bible, music has been demonstrated as a blessing or a gift from our Lord.
Gospel music has been proven to be a mood-altering and powerful agent. We all face struggles on a daily basis, between our jobs, school, children, and negative social influences. Gospel music reassures us, we are not alone in our struggles. The music supports our spirit and brings us closer to God.
