Show me where I condemn any instrument, and say God says we can never use it.
If the music and instruments are secondary, why the need to use a secular music form (rock music) at all? If the words are the most important thing, then whatever style of music used should be totally unimportant.
If the musicians are aware of this, why do they only perform the songs in one style of music? They could reach so many others if they made albums across all different music styles. As christians they’d realize this and want to reach others who didn’t like one style of music but would somehow ‘respond’ to another - after all we’re not talking about making money here, we’re talking about saving souls. They certainly would not be limited to only being able to make music in just one style of music. They could do jazz, and classical, and soft rock, and pop, and rap, and country, and bluegrass, and whatever else.
And that has been my point.

That ranks right up there with some of the dumbest things I have ever been asked.

They have reached people. Just not in a way that you approve of.

Why are you questioning their calling? Who are you to do such a thing? You have no idea of the seeds that they've planted because of their LYRICS. But God knows. And THAT is all that counts.
So many voices telling me which way to go
So many choices come from those who think they know
There's a way that seems right to a man, but it only brings him death
I wanna go the way that leads to life till I draw my dying breath
Don't wanna be a manpleaser
I wanna be a Godpleaser
I just wanna have the wisdom to discern the two apart
Don't wanna be a manpleaser
I wanna be a Godpleaser
I just wanna do the things that please the Father's heart
Some make a sacrifice and never let it show
Some make a point of letting everybody know
Some will live their lives as unto men, and they have their reward
I just wanna do everything I do with all my heart unto the Lord
I just want my life to glorify His Son
To make my Father proud that I'm His child before I'm done
No need to pat me on the back or stop to shake my hand
I just want to hear my Father say, "well done", "well done"
I just want to hear my Father say, "well done
