So...one apostate guy who no longer plays with Newsboys negates the entire credibility of the entire genre? Sounds like something Satan would be proud to spread around. In the meantime millions of Christians will continue to listen to Newsboys, Casting Crowns, Mercy Me, etc. and will continue to worship the true and living God along with them. That’s something Satan would dearly love to quash.

Who says we are talking about the entire genre? Where are you getting that from?

I have Christian music playing most of the day as I work at home or drive around. There are many powerful Christian songs, modern ones.

But one criteria for a life-giving Christian song is that the writer and the performers (a) actually BELIEVE in God, (b) actually have met God and know God, and (c) actually have experienced God so they can speak out of their relationship with God.

But there is a philosophy being spread throughout the Christian world changing the meaning of Christianity from being focused on God to being focused on ourselves -- from our new Quasi-Pope to Joel Osteen to the anti-Christian teaching of "seeker friendly" churches to Christian radio stations.

A Christian radio station whose biggest challenge to Christians is to encourage obesity and heart disease by paying for the fast food of people behind them in line in the drive through, they really have no idea what Christianity is about.

Are you sure that you know Christ?

No one who has encountered God and who knows Jesus would put the emphasis on our own human efforts -- which are pathetic in comparison.

If you had a futuristic flying car would you ride a bicycle (other than for exercise)?

Christian music by those who have never met Jesus unavoidably focuses on human effort, not on God, because they have never met God.

Are you saying you cannot discern between a good Christian song and a bad one?

You are just assuming that if they call it Christian, you will swallow what they are selling hook, line, and sinker, without discernment?

I’ve come to like Hillsong recently. And you cant beat Philips Craig and Dean for rock solid message and good music as well
