Although I enjoy many Christian songs and a number of Christian bands, I find myself disheartened and disoriented if I listen to Christian radio for very long. Although that sentence could be made into a post of its own, I’ll leave that topic alone for now by simply saying that contemporary Christian music is usually too individualistic or too cheerfully playful for me to enjoy.
I’ve found that I often learn more about God and am subsequently drawn closer to Him through secular songs than I am through the large majority of Christian songs.
I’m spending a long night proofreading, and I have iTunes playing my music in the background. Chris Tomlin’s song, This Is Our God just played, and it shook me out of my work mindset. The lyrics are beautiful, but the truths they contain are far greater still.

The thought has not had time to fully develop in my mind, but I have been reflecting upon the great similarities between our culture and our local churches. I often wonder if we are settling for the world rather than reaching out for Jesus. Todd Agnew has a new song out that speaks [...]
