I dare say the majority of what's currently labeled christian rock does glorify God in their lyrics.

Here are some bands labeled as Christian Rock, whose lyrics absolutely glorify God:
Casting Crowns
Newsboys
Third Day
MercyMe
Kutless
David Crowder Band
Tenth Avenue North
Jeremy Camp
Hillsong United
Building 429
Michael W. Smith
Jimmy Needham
Sonicflood

okay

I never cease to be amazed

Ever heard the saying "Our God is an all consuming fire"?

Nothing uplifting God? Ok.

there's some people who will accept anything as being Christian. That's why we are warned of wolves in sheep clothing.

When Paul said whatsoever you do... do all to the glory of God... he didn't mean whatsoever and all?

There are things we do everyday that don't glorify God. Are eating, sleeping, using the restroom, driving to work, brushing your teeth sinful now?

I find that when people are on the defensive they tend to say things without really thinking about what they're saying. I pointed out to you that everyday mundane activities are not sinful and you came back with a snarky comment? Unbelievable... and you want me to learn something.

Yeah, you argue so much better than I do, you win.

[obriencp]

it's not about winning, per se, but we could do a better job with some tact and respectfullness. I'm sorry if I showed any disrespect.

To those that say " A true Apostolic doesn't listen to worldly music"...does a true Apostolic look at worldly art? Do you wear worldly clothes?

[Esaias]

Paul said all things are meant for us and that we can use the world though not abusively. In other words, if something is not pagan or otherwise demonic or antichrist (ie "neutral") then it can be used or enjoyed by a saint, all things being equal.

However we are commanded to maintain our separation (holiness) while also giving no offense to Jews, Gentiles, or the Church of God. Also not all that is lawful is expedient or wise.

Hi Barry. Heres my problem with this thread. Its supposed to be Apostolic and SECULAR music. I think many Apostolics like on this thread think "secular" means any kind of music that is not old hymns or Pentecostal songs.
