Christian Contemporary Music Survey

Hey, so I think I'm going to write some articles on this. I don't know how many people actually look at my blog, but yeah...

What I need to know is what the main points of Christian rock critics have? So far I know a couple, but I think I've missed some.

-Be separate from the world(shouldn't identify with the world)
-The beat(the beat is unholy, and derived from(african headhunter communication(or something like that))
-The genre: some genres are not redeemable.
-There are better things to listen to.
-Most Christian contemporary artists do not mention the name of "Jesus" in their songs.

Am I missing some or should I refine some?

IN YER FACE!

So, this is a pretty typical discussion, but just want to get some thoughts.

While we've all been taught(Biblically) to be bold in our faith-where's the line? I mean, where do we go from being bold in the faith to being overly-zealous? I mean, we know the dangers of teaching a "lovey dubby" God is that He "just accepts you as your are", and that "He doesn't care about what you've done", but how do we communicate the true and Mercifully Just God of the Bible?

So this is based a little bit on some statements by my co-worker. She was telling me how she's been working at DQ and as a Christian showing the love of Christ. Her words: "I'm not in your face with them, and like trying to be over the top." She's just "Let the other employees know that I love them and God loves them..."

On one hand I understand the unBiblical view as that's what I know through catechism(Christ loves BELIEVERS, and we are called to be bold)-yet on the other hand this girl is being a witness. I, personally, am not afraid what people think of me, but if they think I'm some over the top "hyper-religious", "hard-core", "Bible thumper", and "goody goody"-what is that reflecting about Christ and His church?

School Project

So yeah, kinda dorky, but I actually based it off of something I saw on tv where they actually made guitars out of plastic and they sounded REALLY good.

Schools are Scary

Ok, so I'm homeschooled, and don't know what the public school's like, but still...

Ok, so some of you may know that I went for my literacy test today(Thursday). Well in between the tests, I go to the washroom, and there's a dude dealing some drug(crack, dope, not sure) right out of the stall. Not sure what to do-I do "my business"-walk out and run to the office. I told the guidance counselor and he ran to the bathroom and caught one of the guys.

When I mentioned this story to a certain individual, she/he(keep you guessing ;) ) said "welcome to real school." What am I supposed to think about such a statement? I mean is this like "welcome to reality"-I hope not, because no matter what school is-it shouldn't be that. So yeah...

A Decision to Make

Ok, so you know how we had those discussions about music waaay back when(like 2-3 years ago), and we said "we shouldn't discuss this anymore cuz no one's going to change their mind." Well I've done a bit of research, and found a lot of great resources since then. Dare I bring up the topic once more? Or maybe I should send in a series of articles to Zk's for the Silhouette. What think you?

End the Conflict

Hey photographers, take a look.

Let me know what you think. New post to come.

Interesting Question

From my chemistry module: "Why do the properties of elements follow these trends?". It's interesting, because we're going through all the trends that the periodic table follows, and it's kinda funny how this question is never really answered. All that's given is that "this law exists, because of this other law". There's no actual definite answer given.

Reminds me of the Causal Principle that I've been reading about. Darwinists try to eliminate the need for God as a cause, but all they end up doing is providing another cause for a cause.

It's incredible how unregenerate man strives against the things of God to the point of denying logic, and creating theories that just cause more problems. The truth is right in front of them!!!
