Christian Music

[quote name='jezic' date='Jan 18 2005, 11:34 PM'] See i don't think that there is a whole lot out there that is really against the Catholic church unless you look at it that way. [/quote]
Actually... I did recently buy a Christian CD from Amazon, you can't tell online, but the cover of the CD has a sort of "Bishop/Pope" and he looks like a collage kind of thing... The CD is called "Read" by Curious geniuses... It was realy hard to tell it was a Christian CD just by looking at the imagry... I wouldn't suggest anyone go buy it or anything, but it did look like it was there to bash Holy Mother Church, even if it didn't do so in the lyrics of the songs... The cover really lent itself to that...

i'm really getting into more and more Christian music as this year passes on.. it's just a habit i'm getting into (and a good one as well)!

i strongly suggest buying the Christian artists music compared to the secular music--show your support!

I love listening to Barlow Girl and Casting Crowns, but not to the radio stations. I also love listening to traditional Catholic music. (My aunt just joined an Evangelical Free church so she just gave me a Michael W. Smith cd... ) Some Christian singers do annoy me, but I still listen to some of it.

[wopsim]

i listen to pretty much everything.... and i love taking Christian songs and taking some "musical liscence" to it... fun songs like The Happy Song done in a Punk Rock style.... sooooo fun!

I've heard one of Switchfoots songs, and it's pretty good, but I dont ever hear any of their other stuff because STUPID CLEAR CHANNEL took The Eagle off the radio, so now here is no good rock music in DFW. P.O.D was Christian, weren't they? I haven't heard anything from them since they put out [i]Satellite[/i]. They were really good though.

[BigRedJ07]

yeah, nothing but. Your eys and ears are gateways into your soul. What goes in, will come out. Especially when you willingly put yourself into the worlds influence listening to secular music. The world when mention by paul, Hes speaking of a system, a way of doing things. Just as Gods kingdom is...watch what you listen too...its effecting you weather you realise it or not. Even if you tell your self it doesn't.

[jinx]

bravo. thats how i feel.
christian music gives something back to you..
i mean, its not wrong or anything to listen to secular music; i do alot.
but sometimes after listening for a while i think "what did i gain from that? will listening to that help me radiate Christ in my everyday life?" and then I switch cds and put in Newsboys' Devotion or something.

[RemnantRules]

I listen to lots of Christian artists...you have to remember your Christian before you Catholic . I mean that's what we were called before Catholic.

Obviously before any other I listen to Remnant and Phatmass.

Relient K
Third Day
Switchfoot
Mercy Me
FFH
DC Talk
P.O.D.
Creed
Audio Adrenaline
Delirious

True..our name changed, but not our beliefs....cause if you believe what those band believe (that you listed)

we would have
no Eucharist
no Pope
no Confession
no Mary
no sacraments

hey, but at least we would have contraception...oh wait...contraception is bad.

I've been hearing this awesome song on the radio lately by Casting Crowns. I don't think the lyrics do justice to the song, but it is so deep, and touching... When your music turns into meditation and not just entertainment, or even just stress relief, I think you've really got something.


Voice Of Truth

Oh what I would do to have
The kind of faith it takes
To climb out of this boat I'm in
Onto the crashing waves

To step out of my comfort zone
Into the realm of the unknown where Jesus is
And He's holding out His hand

But the waves are calling out my name
And they laugh at me
Reminding me of all the times
I've tried before and failed
The waves they keep on telling me
Time and time again. "Boy, you'll never win!"
"You'll never win!"

Chorus:
But the voice of truth tells me a different story
The voice of truth says, "Do not be afraid!"
The voice of truth says, "This is for My glory"
Out of all the voices calling out to me
I will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth

Oh what I would do to have
The kind of strength it takes to stand before a giant
With just a sling and a stone
Surrounded by the sound of a thousand warriors
Shaking in their armor
Wishing they'd have had the strength to stand

But the giant's calling out my name
And he laughs at me
Reminding me of all the times
I've tried before and failed
The giant keeps on telling me
Time and time again. "Boy you'll never win!"
"You'll never win!"

But the stone was just the right size
To put the giant on the ground
And the waves they don't seem so high
From on top of them lookin' down
I will soar with the wings of eagles
When I stop and listen to the sound of Jesus
Singing over me

I will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth

[ForHimAlone]

I love "Voice of Truth!"

I pretty much only listen to Relevant Radio (our Catholic radio station) or Christian stations. I really can't stand much else.

[FutureSoror]

I listen to Relevant Radio all the time too!

[DemonSlayer]

Mostly Christian metal.

I hate to listen to any one thing because it belongs to any category. I'm no relativist, but I do love a good music. I listen to everything, and I do mean it quite literarly, I have no reservation against any music. If the lyrics are good, and the music is good then it is likeable. I don't listen to much exclusivly Christian (aka Protestant) music, since I have trouble listening without picking apart lyrics for non-Catholic lyrics. Personally, I'll listen to anything if it is a good tune, has lyrics with some sort of meaningful message without unneccesary vulgarity. Christian music I'll listen to, but I usually won't initiatie it, much like certain country songs, orm ostly all of music.. hmm I don't really liten to it much... overall...

Anyways, the answer is yes I listen to it, just not very often.

God bless,
Mikey

i don't prefer it...if by "Christian music" you mean contemporary Christian music. not that it's bad, i just don't prefer it.
