In Your Face Bands

[Penguin-Lord]

Bleechers -

I loved your last post - its the absolute truth! There are way too many bands out there sporting the "Christian label" that probably shouldn't be. It's a trend that has gone out of control in recent years - especially in the music genre that I am particularly fond of - hard rock. Nowadays you can go to a Christian bookstore - pick up a Christian CD (such as POD's latest) and not hear one song that presents a clear cut gospel message of redemption or a song that truly lifts up Jesus.

What really disgusts me as well - is the blind worship that Christian kids give these "Christian" bands. They will defend them to the ends of the earth - simply because they like their music - or because they like the group - not because they are presenting the gospel or the truth.

Let's face it - this whole business is more about making money than sharing truth nowadays. So sad....

Just because they don't say "Jesus is cool" doesn't mean it isn't christian. I would rather hear positive messages than scripture.

I would rather hear "Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life!" Not just "Jesus is cool" - which is what far too many Christian bands are doing these days. Saying "Jesus is cool" means nothing where salvation is concerned. Saying "Jesus died so that you may live, because He loves you" means quite a bit more.

Give me the truth of the gospel (SCRIPTURE) over these lame positive messages any day of the week!

Amen; I agree whole-heartly. I'm not saying that it's bad to have a positive message but they would be more concerned with talking about the gospel.

Postive messages are lame. I'd rather hear about the way we're all failures and our mortality is going to kill us one of these days. That's what all Christian bands should really sing about.
