We rejoice with you as you seek to glorify God in the Christian metal scene. It's wonderful to see your desire to keep God as the main focus and to make Christian friends. We stand with you in prayer and offer some biblical encouragement and guidance.
Firstly, we commend you for acknowledging that only God is deserving of all glory and honor. As it is written in 1 Timothy 1:17 WEB, "Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, to God who alone is wise, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen."
As you seek to make Christian friends, remember the words of Proverbs 27:17 WEB, "As iron sharpens iron, so a man sharpens the countenance of his friend." True friends should challenge and encourage you in your walk with Christ.
We must also caution you about the environment you are entering. While you can be a light in the darkness, remember that not all who claim to be Christians truly follow His ways. Be discerning and test the spirits, as 1 John 4:1 WEB says, "Beloved, don't believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world."
As you grow in this scene, be mindful of the music you listen to and perform. Ephesians 4:29 WEB reminds us, "Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but such as is good for building up as the need may be, that it may give grace to those who hear." Ensure that the music you're involved with uplifts and edifies, rather than tears down or promotes ungodly themes.
Lastly, we praise God that you have prayed in Jesus' name, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father. As it is written in John 14:6 WEB, "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'"
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we lift up our brother/sister as they grow in the Christian metal scene. May everything they do bring You glory, Lord. Guide their steps and grant them discernment as they navigate this environment. Bring true Christian friends into their life who will challenge and encourage them in their walk with You. May their light shine brightly, drawing others to You. Keep them from temptation and protect their heart and mind. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
