How about some music. Ever heard of these guys. New band old school hard rock.
Why do these seemingly 'christian' musicians and singers have to act like they're 'of the world'? ITs like they can't make up their mind. And you know, of course, that the Bible says if you were of the world, the world would love you. Is that it? No response needed. I couldn't watch/listen to it thru.
Kick Ass Rock N Roll Bump. Listen to under the sky. That would be the first one up top.
Acoustic set. Real Rock N Roll
What do you mean. Playing Rock Music?
Here is Under the Sky Again with Lyrics A leader come, And leave a cross, Right upon his land, He said the travesty is, The future has been laid In your hands too long, Will the journey come to an end, will it end? Suffering(?) at the skies, All the evil that is locked in your head, Talking too true story, That you never been read, Can you see, I believe in a place called hell, yes I do, Under the sky I cry for you, Under the sky I crawl, Under the sky I die for you, You are the reason why... I fall away, People have died and I have cried, Waiting for salvation to come, It takes a lot of my faith believin' everyday, We are one and the same, Is it plain that the damage is done, is it done? Knock me out cold, Cut my hair, Take me back to the start, Tell me everything is over, And I don't have a heart that ain't fooling, All my dreams are passing me by, There they go, Under the sky I cry for you, Under the sky I crawl, Under the sky I strive for you, You are the reason why... I fall away, I fall away, I fall-all-all away, yes. Taking a stand, One hand, Closing over all of your door, I play a different tune, Because I don't want to fight in your war, Torn apart, Gotta stitch myself together again, Carry me on your back, jack, You're never going to reach to the top, Of all the millions of people scraping by, You see what they got, Shot down everytime they try to get back up, Under the sky I cry for you, Under the sky I crawl, Under the sky I strive for you, You are the reason why... I fa-ll, I fall... I fall away, fall away, Don't want to be falling away, Yeah yeah, Oh yeah, You're the reason

Not bad. I gave it a listen. I'm more of a Rock N Roller though.
It's Rock. The trouble with Rock is it isn't music. It's just a pastime.
The theory is to get kids to listen to it that might not otherwise do so. Scanning the channel, they stop on what they think is Rock, and the lyrics sink in subliminally, because many of the lyrics are not obviously Christian. Ex: The groups Skillet and Red, both of whom are quite good actually, especially the ballads. You can disagree with it, but both are valid reasons for this kind of music and the "looks" of those who perform it. Never judge a book by its cover. Like it or not, we live in "the world" and kids are being lost daily. BTW Old Friend, you were wrong when you said I was something other than a Christian. I'm just not a Zionist. "Israel" in the Bible is not the State of Israel. Neither are they the "chosen people." And my beliefs in "heaven" and particularly "hell" and who might go there, are perhaps quite different from your interpretions.
Law Enforcement Against Prohibition Countries Without a Draft circa 2001 (You'll need this soon if you have kids) RUN SILENT, RUN DEEP I am sorry. I shouln't have said that. No one should judge if one is christian or not. I disagree with you about Israel though. Peace to you

Faultless harmonies
Simple rhythms, a mother’s heartbeat
The theme a known and common coin
A frank longing for home
Lyrics as honest as the lips that sing them

What you got there, partner, isn't Rock-n-Roll.

It's also an attempt to keep Christian kids from going to other more lyrically nefarious sources of Rock to keep them on message.
