We're not a Christian Band, we're a band whose members are Christian. It's one of those theological Chicken or Egg arguments. And like the chicken it is just as endless. The reason it is even asked is because Christians like to believe Christian Music is something special.
The reality is that Christian Music is simply Music By Christians. Like the mainstream, Christian Music has multiple genres. Rock, Metal, Folk, Rap, Country and more. All have a "Christian alternative". (Thankfully not including Polka as yet, when that happens the end shall have come).
The corollary to Christian Music is that there is such a thing as "The Devil's Music". It is also a fantasy. It's not Rock and Roll, and although I agree with Greg X. Volz personally, it's not Country and Western either.
According (not accordion) to Ezekiel 28:13, which many attribute to Lucifer, "the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created." Those are musical instruments. The idea is when Lucifer fell and became Satan, these instruments also fell and became "Devil Music". Only problem is. If he had all instruments in him then all music is fallen. Or none is. Maybe God just said "You're Fired." I think that's the case, and music is music.
And that's why the first step to saving Christian Music Radio is to realize that there is no such thing as Christian Music. I'll give that a few days to marinate. Until next time, I am Awaiting Your Reply.
