"Yeah! And 9 times out of 10, the actual MUSIC blows. Its the same lame 4 chord progressions over and over again until i just want to shoot myself in the head. Where's there creativity? Where's the talent? Where's the "Melt-your-face-off-hardcore-metal-emotion"?
Even though I am a Christian, it is my personal opinion that most christian music blows. Take it as you will. You will not find any Newsboys or DC Talk in my CD binder..."
I found this in a Facebook discussion group. That's the most offensive thing I've ever heard. When I read that, I was lost for words.
Recently, I've been struggling with selfishness. Although not directly obvious, it is prominent in my nature when you look carefully at the pattern of what I do, why I do it and when I do things.
Yet, this person has seriously angered me.
Since when did we sing worship songs for our benefit? When did we honour ourselves and had the power to change lives, create eternal life after our time on earth?
This girl or woman, declaring her detest for Christian Music, appears to have completely missed the point of the music. We don't sing or listen to it for our sake. We don't make it, either, to show how great we are and how awesome, divine our talents are.
It's all for God's glory.
