[QUOTE="GeorgiaGuyinAtlanta, post: 60880522, member: 142763"] I'm going to call it like I see it. Switchfoot seems to be ashamed of the name of Jesus. They never speak of God or Jesus in their music, at least not in their latest stuff. Switchfoot seems to be trying to "ride the fence", trying to have one foot in the Christian music industry, while trying to have another in the secular world. You have to really question their sincerity and devotion to the One and Only. When a band intentionally makes songs, time after time, song after song, without even the mention of the Holy Name of Jesus, then you have to question whether their heart is in it. Their songs lately are so generic that it can be interpreted to mean anything. It's like they're doing so with the intention of getting both "fame" in the Christian music industry as well as the secular music industry. If they're doing so with the intention of attracting those who don't listen to Christian music, how is not mentioning the name of Jesus a benefit, when we all know that the name of Jesus brings conviction and true change. You can have cool music and speak of Jesus. Someone else mentioned the band Skillet. I place them, by and large, in the same category with Switchfoot. A watered-down message so much that so little of it can even be construed as Christian. I also don't like the way Switchfoot tries to make their concerts more about them in the way they try to "Crowd surf". What is this, a heavy metal concert, or a praise gathering to worship the Lord? Seriously. [/QUOTE]
