What is the best & worst thing about Christian rock? -dj4PeteSake

Fri, 12 Mar 2010 18:59:44 -0600

I just had a long discussion with someone about the term “Christian Rock” I think the best thing about Christian Rock is that its not just music but its also a way to help people. Its no secret that everyone deals with crap in life and that everyone has their hangups but I really think that Christian Rock music tries to provide a relevant way to connect with and help people and that is through the message of Christ and the belief in God.

I think that can also be the bad thing about Christian Rock. Everyone has their opinion about whether or not a band is a “Christian band” and all the politics that goes into that and sometimes an artist just need to be an artist. This might make me catch some flak but I think that an artist can use stories to relate to people and connect with people that way. I actually think what Issac from The Fray said in an interview was pretty insightful.

“The band avoided Christian record labels, saying God called them to the secular market instead. “I feel he would be disappointed with us if we limited ourselves,” Wysocki says. Slade says he used to “write all Christian lyrics” until he had an epiphany while working a shift at Starbucks: “None of my friends outside the church understood any of my songs; we had a different set of vocabulary,” he says. “So I went home and threw away all those songs. “He adds, “If I handed somebody a double grande mocha latte and told them, ‘Jesus loves you and has a wonderful plan for your life,’ they might throw it back on me. “If we grow up in the church, it’s easy to think it’s our Christian duty to preach to every single person because God is the most important thing. And he is, but I’m a musician first. This is my job. We’re not pastors. We’re not preachers. We’re not even missionaries. “Slade likens his job to any other. “If you’re a painter, paint, but you don’t have to have Jesus in every picture. Paint well, and if you paint well enough, they might ask you why you do that. “Relating to people’s lives Slade points out that Jesus used stories that contained much earthly imagery. “The Pharisees just quoted Bible verses,” Slade says. “Jesus related the parables to people’s lives. The people were drawn in by the plot development, character and conflict”

What up! man these questions are good! Keep em coming!

I really wish I had a subject in the middle I feel like this picture is lacking because there is something missing. Oh by the way I was advised that taking pics of public buildings is frowned upon because since 9/11 you never know who “might” be a terrorist. No lie…protection or control?
