Christian Rock is hardly a "hidden message" -it's reaching out and connecting people to God through the culture of Rock. I believe God is the God of all cultures and art forms - Rock included. God is the lord of Christian Rock, not Satan! (see Luke 11 - "a house divided against itself will fall"). And though Christian Rock has its stigmas and issues, I thank Jesus for it because it's a nexus that brings me closer to God and I'm sure for many others as well!

RAW ROCK KILLS!

and, correct me if im wrong, but isnt rock about saying WHAT EVER you want??? pretty sure thats what a bunch of rock bands say..and i listen to all kinds of music, i like secular music as well, mainly post hardcore or rock, like ADTRM, asking alexandria, AFI, guns n roses and jimii henderix, so as a person that likes music, that actually knows what it is, not like hte other people that critisize it saying its evil, that you could atleast apreciate its talent in the songs....

What are you talking about in the 80's it got "bad"? Those were the BEST bands EVER!!!!!!! *headbangs*

All Christians need to be careful to discern between sound and false doctrine in the church (including music). Just because a preacher speaks it (or sings it) doesn't mean it is true.

You should always go back to the basics of Christianity - (it is no longer I who lives, but Christ who lives in me - Galatians 2:20).

The validity of Christian music relies on that verse. If Jesus controls your life, He will also control the music you listen to as well (the way you dress is also important).

There's no such thing as "Christian Rock." A Christian is someone who believes in and follows the tenets of Christianity, but a song or a musical genre can't be "Christian."

There is music that is sung as part of a church service, but everything else is just music.

It may be spiritual, or uplifting, or artistic, but it doesn't have to be any of those things, and in and of itself, it isn't Christian.

@aspieforjesus There are plenty of bands that can write lyrics that powerful. You have to realize that people in rock bands are people too, and many have come out of bad situations just like the one John Newton came out of. If you need some examples of such lyrics, hit me up.

Amazing Grace, how sweet the Sound

That saved a wretch like me

I once was lost but now am found

Was blind but now I see.

JOHN NEWTON (when he came out of the slave trade)

I wonder if there are any Christian rock artists who could write a hymn as powerful as that.

For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost.

Matt 18:11 (KJV)

Without God's creation of electricity, there would be no heavy metal. Celebrating almost 50 years of christian rock.
