Hate to bust your bubble, but I don't have only Christian music on my "Ipod" either. Actually, my Treo. But I do take the songs that have bad lyrics or messages and toss them. The others may find their way onto my listening list. Nothing wrong with some good ole 60's, 70's and maybe even some 80's music to get yer blood pumpin from time to time!!
I listen to everything from Led Zep, Eagles, The Who, Yes, Clapton, etc and Third Day, Toby Mac, Mercy Me, Chris Tomlin and a plethora of other Christian artists.
Music doesn't sanctify the message...it is the other way around, IMO. A lot of it is personal style anyway. I am a high driving type "A" so my music tends to jam quite a bit. However, I can mellow out and worship on my "face" as well.
It does bother me some that there are those who feel that in order to be worship, it has to be 440 Volt jukin' and jivin' and jumpin and rollin and falling and runnin etc music. I can jump and jive with the best of 'em, but actually, for me, my best times are in contemplative awesome worship songs which bring tears to my eyes and bring me to my knees.
