From the article...

"The band POD has been recording Christian music for more than a decade. Their hit song "Alive" brought them mainstream success."

Is POD Christian???

Once the liberals get the anti-Christian persecution in full swing, I expect many of these bands will disappear.

To quote Hank Hill:

"Christian Rock isn't making Jesus better, it's making rock n' roll worse."

Third Day is great. I went to high school with their guitarist Brad Avery. Their new album "Wired" rocks.

"The fact that there are Christian themes now emerging in rock

It has been really satisfying to notice this. I recall walking into a mall in the late 1990's and hearing DC Talk on the music system.

And to think the lame stuff that was circulating on cassettes in the late '80s. Yikes!

Here's hoping artists who record this type of music don't get fat and sassy.

My prison ministry band does only juvenile centers because our drummer is only 19. I'm 51 and play bass while the guitar player is 47. We have become virtually a switchfoot cover band. The lyrics of the songs we do are incredibly powerful to the demographic of our audience.

And the last time we did "Thief" by Third Day, there was at least one boy (they're all under 21) that was obviously tearing up.

The music is a powerful tool.

My main two XM radio channels are "The Torch" (heavier Christian rock) and "The Fish" (lighter stuff). Christian music has made incredible strides over the past 10 years, both in terms of songwriting and production.

First came Christian rock, then come Christian rock movies, like this one. (QUIZ: Can you guess which of the nuns Dr Elvis bonked off screen?)

So, I gather, the near-consensus here is that this fine musical ensemble would provide the most appropriate melodious accompaniment to an Easter morning church service?
