#shorts Part 34 — Are You Sure that’s Satanic??
What does this entertainment glorify?? That’s what really matters.

Is heavy music itself inherently satanic?? Why??
What’s satanic about turning up the guitar distortion, or playing heavy and loud?? Let’s start with the second item there. Many of the Psalms tell us to shout to the LORD, to be loud in…
