I love the music of christian rock, but is it glorifying God? Even if the lyrics are about God’s love and praise, is it good to listen to christian rock?
While all genres of christian music essentially glorify God, I fell like Christian rock is one of the worst. A ton of the music is simply re-writing old worship songs with rock music. The original stuff relies heavily on short, unimaginative, repetitive lyrics aimed at the single focal point (God is great, Jesus is the savior), but anybody listening already knows the point.
Why can’t Christian music be creative and entertaining? I know the hearts of the artists are in the right place, but at times it seems like they aren’t even trying. The Bible, New and Old Testaments, are rich with history and lessons that could easily be adapted to music (especially rock music, such as ballads).
I can imagine God hearing Christian rock and thinking, "Gee, another song where 3/4 of the lyrics are the word "holy", guys, I appreciate it, but could you entertain Me a little bit?"
