I would like your thoughts on this...

I find it fascinating that one can say a born again Christian was once the lead singer for... of all bands... VAN HALEN ! 
What I think is a trip is to read the liner note Thank Yous for Van Halen III with Cherone.  Grouped in with all kinds of typical people VH would thank, you see R.C. Sproul, the pastor/writer.  Cracks me up. I bet the other boys in the band had no idea who RC Sproul even was... haha !

Guilty/Forgiven, what you have told us about the lyrics of songs is very personal.
One is avoiding all sings with satanic lyrics or exalt evil or other things that are not confirm the words written in the Bible.

I can't give you an advice about what you should do.
It's you that has to decide if you listen to those songs.
God's Holy Spirit wil guide you in this.

I thought he was talking about Mick Rowe (Goliath) who is an interesting character.

First of all, we ALL have sin in our lives so wouldn't that mean that Jesus isn't picking up anyone for our glorious ride home? I disagree with the lyrics, but the song is still a fun song. If it were written more to the standpoint of unbelievers being left, I could agree with that.

I figured it was talking about those who go to church, cast out demons, etc. but the Lord will say, "I never knew you" - thus, you better get right (with Jesus) or you're gonna get left.
