Classical music and Philippians 4:8

May a Christian listen to classical music? Someone once said that if you are doubting about something, put it through the Philippians 4:8 filter. If I put classical music through that filter, then classical music seems to be the way to go. What do you think?

“Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.” That directive in Philippians 4:8 can be a valuable guide for Christians when it comes to determining what kind of entertainment is suitable for their eyes and ears, and ultimately their minds and hearts.

While one can, in almost any genre of music, find pieces that do not pass through the “filter” of Philippians 4:8, I would say you are generally safe with classical music.

I commend you for your conscientious approach to entertainment choices!
