Great Classic Christian Rock Station

Further, those 'artists' closely associate themselves with the world, and all of the sins of the world. Further, they look, act, and talk like the world. If they look, sound, act, and sing like the world, then they are of the world and they are not a Christian, and I do not care what label they choose to wear.

Jay, you and I share a love for the same kind of music, southern/country gospel. I think you're seeing it only one way with regard to Christian Rock. So, if you are going to make the same statement about Christian Rock, then go ahead and say the same for Southern/Country gospel... "Further, they look, act, and talk like the world. If they look, sound, act, and sing like the world, then they are of the world and they are not a Christian, and I do not care what label they choose to wear."

There is no difference. You're only picking apart that which you listen to least.

But, there is one burning question: have you ever talked to a Christian Rock artist/musician? If so, was their "talk" the same as a mainstream rock artist, in that maybe foul language or anti-Christian dialogue came from their mouth?

Until one actually mingles with someone who lives, speaks, and sings about their faith and love for God, one cannot definitely say what that person is or isn't based on their own definition of "living for God" or "living in Truth."

Another witch hunt, looking for evil wherever we can find it
Off on a tangent, hope the Lord won't mind it
Another witch hunt, takin' a break from all our gospel labor
On a crusade, but we forgot our Saviour

There's a new way to spend all our energies
We're up in arms instead of down on our knees
Walkin' over dollars, trying to find another dime
Never mind the souls, 'cause we really haven't got the time

So send out the dogs and tally ho
Before we sleep tonight we've got miles to go
No one is safe, no stone's left unturned
And we won't stop until somebody gets burned
Bro Bro Bro Bro Bro Bro Brothers

After a little more research, Judas Kiss did have backward masked messages in it. Witch Hunt did as well on Petra's Beat the System CD in response to a series of shows on 'rock music' done by Jimmy Swagert.

Beat the System is a great album. Witchhunt is a good song. But, I was referring to Judas Kiss.

But, the title of the thread is "Great Classic Christian Rock Station." So, there is no vice involved.

One of my favorite groups (by "group", I mean a husband and wife). I bought most of their albums on Amazon via download already. I guess out of 8-9 albums there are a COUPLE of songs that have lyrics but it is mostly instrumental.

Now you're talking. Daniel Amos is my favorite, hands down. I saw Terry Taylor live in Dallas last year. If you get a chance to catch one of his solo tours with his son, don't miss it.

Also, like 77s, Steve Taylor and Lost Dogs.

Daniel Amos is very versatile I love Shotgun Angel.I also like Mike Roe.
