Evangelist Exposes 'Darker Turn' of Taylor Swift's Music, Sounds Alarm

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.

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.

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.

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 ❤️❤️

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!!!

@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 ☺

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.

@solidaudioTV Ай бұрын

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.

Look. I’ve been a Christian as long as I can remember but even at a young age I didn’t like much secular music. I liked Taylor swift as a young preteen and went to one of her concerts. That’s back when she sung the song “love story” and talked about football games and being enchanted. But now? Not interested even remotely. It terrifies me that people are almost blind to it. When she was younger she sang some good songs. But now? In her own words “the old Taylor is dead” I knew when I heard that she took a dark turn
