Good for you.
In my opinion, it is too - it's wonderful to see talented people use that talent to further spread the Word of God - that's what it's all about, after all.
Agreed. But I have been to churches where people 'sit on their hands' during the whole service EXCEPT to clap for a performer, that it what I object to, not as a form of worshiping God. I am there to worship God, not man.
Y'all should check out the cd's from Indelible Grace. It's all traditional hymns with more modern arrangements. They're not really a band, they're more of a label without specific artists.
Nope. I played lead guitar for Switchfoot, BrokeAnkle.
Love to AMP it up, Baby!
ROCK ON!!!
will do. Thanks
Dr. McGee was truly one of the greatest men I've heard. His broadcasts are here on the radio every morning followed by Dr. Charles Stanley.
I don't find your mocking of Christian musicians - who, whatever your opinion of their music, do what they do because of their love of Christ (they could just as easily hide their beliefs, after all) - very mature or Christ-like.
Maybe you just need to accept that people are not all the same, nor should they be.
Studying Galatians? Read Luther's Commentary. It is quite excellent. But , beware,Luther was kind of stuffy according to today's pentecostals.
Thanks. If you ever get the chance, visit his website and listen to a Sunday Sermon. They are quite excellent.
I remember a term from my youth about "believers" who share your apparent attitudes. My grandmother called them "Us four and no more" Christians...apparently only you and the other three members of your clique will make it to Heaven. She also told me about folks whose definition of a cult was "the church down the street from the one they go to."
So, what it all boils down to is that if YOU don't like the music, then that music which you don't like is inherently Evil, and will lead people down the Flowery Path of Heresy until they all burn in the Lake of Fire... But if it's music YOU like, then everything is cool, right?
I just wanna make sure where you are coming from...
I guess I better make sure this guy never hears my metal song "Jesus is way f***ing cool"...
Dude.. you *so* owe me a new monitor....
I have seen what this Christian rock has done to crowd out congregational worship and flatter egos. I am most upset at undiscerning and weak pastors who opt for it over devotional, congregational praise and worship.
Pretty good. I like stories. Tell me another.
How many renditions of Amazing Grace have been played in how many styles. Good point. On this site it is played by an American Indian on a native flute and it is Awesome in "my opinion" others might think it stinks.

Are you being judgemental to say this is not reverent and not honoring to the Lord?
Well, Chad, I guess that about sums it up.
I'm really at a loss to understand this. How has Christian rock "crowded out" congregational worship? In my church it seems the opposite. And why do you seem to suggest that a Christian rock musician is more prone to egotism than, say, a traditional organist or choir member?
