Is Christian Rock good or bad?

There's a guy who posted a video on youtube saying he didn't believe in Christian rock:

I said this back to him:

"Four bands: Kutless, Casting Crowns, MercyMe and Third Day. These are all Christian rock bands.

You said: 'You can't take something from the devil, repackage it a little bit, & suddenly it's from God. It doesn't work that way. Yes it works that way, God gave us power over Satan through him. You're obviously s. baptist. Listen, music in itself can't be evil. It is the lyrics and context of what it is played that can make it evil. God is omnipotent, He can use anything to serve Him"

Amen my brother.

Before I became a believer, I thought all Christian music sounded like the Mormon Tabernacle Choir on prozac. So glad to find out differently.

I say used in the right place and time it is good , Paul said that he would do whatever he could to win his kinsman to Christ, even become accursed himself, if possible. so if it wins souls for the Kingdom, and I believe it does, then this is good, My favorite song is Chris Tomblin, " Amazing Grace My Chains are gone: a beautiful mixture of the old and the new. but young people let me remind you that you don't want any of us old folks to force anything on you, for you have your own way of doing things, and so in this sense the old folks don't want you to force your music onto them, no matter how much you love it, so I think if your Church has any elderly folk, then it shouldn't be used in a regular service, for it is an offense to the older generations. I have seen the elder even get up and walk out of services where Christian rock is played. But let her rip, in youth rallies, teen church or anything that is teen focused then go for it. and even mild contemporary will be fine in church services and you can still have your beat, but I strongly disagee with the head banging stuff, in any service where there are any of the older generation at. and just out of respect of our elders this issue shouldn't cause any problems in the Church. their in charge now, If the Lord tarries, your time will come and you can tell your grandkids that their kind of music shouldn't be played in Church
