This is why I love she’s doing this for Jesus many Christian artist forget why are they doing this for and who are they doing this for. It’s all about Jesus.

I don't think I've ever heard someone actually put on a country accent when they sing. I fully expected a deep Tennessee agent in her speaking voice.

[@John_3_16]

She was born and raised in Kentucky

Keith Urban has an Australian accent, except when he sings country music.

Here’s what the Bible says about this, Matthew 6:24 AMP “No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon. [money, possessions,fame, status, or whatever is valued more than the Lord].

What does that have to do with this?

[@theretrowriter6454]

@@donmcc6573 This verse has everything to do with this. Crossing over to do Country music is not serving God. It’s a secular genre of music that doesn’t glorify God. You can’t live like the world and be a healthy Christian.

@@theretrowriter6454 It has nothing to do with it. Millions of Christians work at secular jobs every day that have nothing to do with ministry. Being a musician is just a job. There is no requirement that a Christian musician has to only do Christian music any more than a Christian architect can only build churches.

@@donmcc6573 Here’s another verse to explain further. Colossians 3:23 Whatever you do [whatever your task may be], work from the soul [that is, put in your very best effort] , as [something done] for the Lord and not for men, (3:24) knowing [with all certainty] that it is from the Lord [not from men] that you will receive the inheritance which is your [greatest] reward. It is the Lord Christ whom you [actually] serve. Your life should be lived like Christ even in a secular job, however in this instance it’s saying that she values fame over Christ. By taking a step towards secular music she is saying that she values popularity more than her faith.

@@theretrowriter6454 What two masters? She is a musician doing her job. Did you just completely ignore the fact that millions of Christians work at secular jobs? Are they all serving two masters?

I call this sitting on the fence.

[@John_3_16]

Call it whatever you want, it doesn't mean that it is

[@donmcc6573]

I call it making good music.
