Secular music and spicy books

I have been a believer for 6 months and am reading the Bible every day.

I am trying to monitor what I listen to and watch.  Music is the hardest thing I am having to give up. I have Christian playlists but some of the music that I love isn't Christian. Godly Advice  on this?

I read books. (I read spicier books) and I do not know if I can give them up I have always read to decompress after work, (and a long day with the kids), but am worried that it is wrong. I have taken a step in every direction, music, television, and people, but need godly advice.

A: Jesus said if we love Him we will obey him. If we follow Him we don't have time for those worldly things anyway.

There are better things you can replace it with so your heart and mind and desires stay focused on God.

The more we mature in our faith and grow more in our love for God we will not be led away from what is right. So it depends on how much you love God and understand His Holiness... & how we are to become more like Him/Christ, living in obedience and desiring to be.

Growing in our understanding of righteousness and throwing off/away all that hinders us from that, is important. Whether that's lust or other worldly sins. 


The books sound like they are focused on lust (sexual sins) and are thought fantasy. This can help you understand this sin clearly, overcome and remove it. 

This can help with Christian and Secular Music and related helps.

Fornication led to pregnancy

Q: Recently I sinned by fornicating again. I did ask forgiveness from God for being unfaithful again. I thought God had forgiven me (& I’m no longer participating in such activities). I had just repented and made the effort to turn from evil, but...just found out I’m pregnant. It was one brief moment!! Really and truly I cannot believe I’ve went backwards like that and my life feels ruined. I don't understand. Did God truly forgive me? Should I stop praying, because I knew better but I didn’t do better. I said yes to my flesh and now it’s costing me. I’m willing to lose everything else, but to lose Jesus because of my sin - I really cannot bare the thought. A: You dont stop praying because things dont go your way. Prayer is to align you to God's will, (not for him to act as a genie who does what you want). You becoming pregnant wasn't a punishment from God; it was basic natural outcomes of happens when humans have sex. You know Scripture teaches sex was designed only ...
