More specifically, love songs for secular artists. Why or why not?

	When Dr. David Livingstone was working in Africa, a group of friends wrote him: "We would like to send other men to you. Have you found a good road into your area yet?" According to a member of his family, Dr. Livingstone sent this message in reply: "If you have men who will only come if they know there is a good road, I don't want them. I want men who will come if there is no road at all."

Bebe and Cece have quite a few and so does Jakes.

As long as the lyrics aren't raunchy or disrespectful or anything. And there are some "secular" love songs that, while not overtly spiritual, do not conflict with biblical principles and refers to God in some portions. I think specifically of "Ribbon in the Sky" by Stevie Wonder and the part that says, "We can't lose with God on our side..."
