We Need To Check Our Affections

As I read a devotional today that focused on Colosians 3:2 (2Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.) what immediately came to mind is the current wave of secular artists doing "gospel albums". The press releases trump the secular artists as "getting back to his/her gospel roots". But where are thier affection set. Cetainly not on God, because I don't ever recall any of them mentioning that this was something God desired, but something they'd thought about, or wanted to do for some time. They never mention that they will abandon the affections of the world to set their affections on God. Doing a "gospel album" is just something else to do. Their affections remain set on the secular world.

The devotional said Separating yourself from the ways of the world doesn't always mean just leaving destructive activities behind. It often means simply getting rid of those things that don't build you up spiritually.
The R&B artists, the rap artists, the jazz artists, all doing "gospel on the side". Their affections have not changed. Verse 17 of the same chapter says

17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.

Wouldn't word or deed include song. How can the R&B, The Hip-Hop be done in the name of the Lord Jesus when it promotes sin?
