Question I would like to know how you reconcile being a devout christian and at the same time a fan of rock music. When Elvis came on the scene in the fifties Christian leaders condemned his style and proclaimed it to be the "devil's music". I have also come across Christian commentaries which condemn any involvement in the entertainment industry. They call it a business which stimulates all the forbidden lusts and creates a materialistic force that drives the most innocent souls from the spiritual domain. I would appreciate your feedback on this most perplexing issue.

Response Though I feel I don't need to spell out and validate the way I live my life, but for the sake of this question, I will.

My Christian values are as exactly as you have read them on my beliefs pages. I honor and revere our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I try as best I can to be Christ-centered in all that I do. I try to help those in need. I treat my wife and children with the utmost respect and tender care. I attend my church meetings and fulfill various callings in my church.

I have to chuckle a little because my whole life I've been categorized "white bread" music. I personally don't think my recently music is anywhere near that category but I certainly wouldn't say that it's the Devil's music. I really doubt my music incites my listeners or concert-goers to civil disobedience, drugs, alcohol, or sexual deviation.

When you tell me that many religious leaders have condemned secular rock music, you paint such a broad picture that is so unfair.

Sincerely,

Donny Osmond
