He tells me he's an assistant pastor at his church he's a chain smoking cussing spit tobacco chewing mama jamma, we listened to ONE Christian CD the whole day, something by MercyMe which by the fourth time through I wanted to kill lots of people, isn't this how they tortured Marcos or Koresh?
...**** I really hate Christian music (but only after the third time through), no offense Eagle or Torp if you even read this but seriously C"MON! *please don't flame me or tell me how nice it is, or my favorite band is blah, blah, blah I've said lots worse.*
This isn't going to be my normal type of post, so you (people) might actually want to read it. Then again maybe you won't, but that is your choice. Maybe I should have Nat quote it in case your one of the 5 that have me blocked.  MercyMe is an American contemporary Christian band which should never have the word Christian in it, because it is not. It is sad to think that's what so many people consider to be Christian music. (The people listening to it, and the people that have been told that that's Christian music.) What it really is, is one of the ever so many so-called "Christian bands" which are nothing but rock/rap/country/pop/jazz/whatever else music with a few "Christian" words thrown in them. That is (so-called) music we do not/will never listen to. What we listen to is "Christian hymns", God honoring songs such as " Amazing Grace", "Just A Closer Walk With Thee", "How Great Thou Art" that have no added beats or words in them. We do not listen to any "Christian bands" like MercyMe (or the countless others), only "Christian groups" that sing "Christian hymns" whose goal is to bring praise unto the Lord with their music not to get famous/rich/popular, like those bands. For a graduation gift I received one of MercyMe's CDs which we will be promptly returning to the store without even listening to, and if it wasn't a gift (well if it wasn't a gift I would never have it ...) I would be using it as a clay pigeon. That would be something worth shooting. And you didn't ask but, "Christian rock" "Christian rap" "Christian country" "Christian pop" "Christian jazz" etc bands are all oxymoron's and shouldn't be used in the same sentence. Please do not think that junk is what we listen to. |

Sorry to break this to you, but ANYBODY who records and distributes a CD with Christian hymns, devil music, or otherwise is doing it to MAKE MONEY. The "message" being sent by what's on the CD is ancillary.

I don't know who to think is more cynical. - The guy who believes that worship must take a particular form. I know I come from the ultimate in "our Jesus is better than your Jesus" societies but I just can't give up on the idea that God loves us for who we are not the type of music we sing at him.
- The guy who contends that making a living and worshiping are mutually exclusive. I don't know any successful religious artists but I have met a few up-and-comers. They seem sincere.
But hey, what do I know.   |

A. Nice post Kevin.
B. What about "make a joyful noise unto The Lord?" If the message is constant, shouldn't the vehicle be judged only by the one for whom it was intended?

You are wrong. <--- I have never flat-out said that on a forum before, and I am not saying it to argue, but this time it is true. We buy most of them through our Church, a lot of them the groups record them themselves and sell them for cost. They are not making any money. |

Well, I'm glad you're on your way to a new career.
In a way, I feel like I should apologize about that guy. That is not the example that a "Christian" should have. I said Christian in quotes, because he seems to have total disregard for what the Bible says. I don't want to judge someone I haven't met; however, he was not showing any sort of spiritual fruit. In fact, he's showing just the opposite. I also have to wonder about his "church" because they are not following the Biblical standards for their church's elders. A pastor is supposed be an example of a life set apart, show that he is the head of his family and that they are behaved and living for the Lord, and he should not be divorced.
FWIW, you won't find me listening to MercyMe, FFH, or whomever. You don't want recommendations so I won't give you any. But those bands are not what I consider Christian music. When I listen to music, I ask myself the question(s), "Will this help me in my walk with the Lord? Will this encourage me to be more like Him? Is this uplifting or is 'entertainment'?" Songs by the modern CCM, can't do that. Basically, it's for people who want to say they listen to "Christian music", but don't want to give up rock, jazz, country, etc.
I hope the things I say and do never give you such a poor example of Christian testimony. If you are interested in hearing what we listen to go to sacredaudio.com or wctsradio.com, they provide true Christian music.

I think I get it now. Since the devil created Rock and Roll, jazz etc. those mediums can't in turn be used to praise the lord.   |
