Most of you
have probably heard by now about Beyonce’s latest release “Bow Down B------”. People (including
some christians) have begun to express how shocked they are at Beyonce’s
choice of words in this song. My question is “Why?” This has been a long time
coming and it’s only going to get worse from here. Beyonce is captivating and
has proven her ability to place a demonic hold on the spiritually weak through
her music, looks and seductive antics. |

Beyonce fans
are saying “It ain’t that serious. It’s just a song.” Let me remind
you, satan is wickedly clever. He knows
not to show his true colors at first. He
presented the world with a beautiful, talented and seemingly humble young woman
who appears to be living the dream life.
He lured you in with her cunning charm and after he wrapped you into his
web of deceit, he showed his true self. Also, for those you who don’t know, Jay
Z has adopted the teachings of Aleister Crowley, an atheist who created his own ten
commandments; one of them being “do what thou wilt”. (Look at Jay Z's shirt)
Furthermore,
I am sick and tired of the world deeming Christians as being judgmental. I am even more frustrated with “yellow back
so called Christians” who will fall for anything just because it looks or feels
good. I am reading the blogs and listening to excuses given from people who are
trying to justify the lyrics in Beyoncé's song.
First let me
say, God has no sense of humor when it comes to his word. He specifically commands us in his Ten Commandments
not to bow down or serve any other gods or graven image (Exodus 20:5). So there you go, I don’t have to write anything else
on that one.
Secondly, there
is no justification for calling anyone outside of their birth given name. Nikki Woods, Senior Producer for the Tom Joyner
Morning Show, recently blogged about the issue and included insight she
received from a sixteen year old Beyonce fan. When Nikki asked the sixteen year
old if she was surprised at Beyonce’s choice of words, the young lady replied “Kind of. Especially
since she’s a mom and because Jay-Z said he wasn’t going to use the B-word
anymore. But I think when women call other women the B-word it’s
different than when a man does. It just another word for ‘girls.’ This was heartbreaking for me to read. Our young ladies have become
used to being called female dogs and actually think of it as a term of endearment. Proverbs 22: 1 says "A good name
is rather to be chosen than riches and loving favour than silver and gold."
Is the
standard we are setting for our young women? Are we willing to sit back and allow the media
to taint the minds of our youth for their own financial gain? Beyonce, a
positive influence? I’ve never consider her to be a positive influence. Her
business and career has always been music and entertainment not empowering
women and youth. For most celebrities (I said most not all), charity work is all a part of establishing
a good image that will help increase record sales. Don’t believe me? The lyrics from this
song alone should tell you that Beyonce is all about making that paper first and
being a good influence second (if at
all).
People if we don't stand for something we will fall for anything!
