Christ in Media

One aspect that has always angered at least some branch of the church is the issue of what is Christian music and what is not. Many have argued that it is defined by the instruments used and the style implemented. I've listened to some "christian" songs that do an absolutely horrible job of proclaiming what Jesus has done through us. And I've listened to some hardcore music that speaks of a man dealing with despair and conflict but in the end cries out to God in the most emotional and humble way. Even some artists who don't directly mention God or Christ in their music are better influences than most because their music is uplifting and moral, but what sets them apart from anyone else is that they profess Christ in interviews and their statements, backing up their music and filling it out. I would encourage everyone to look deeper than what the church says is "christian" music and find out what really lifts Christ up.
