The Effects Of Christian Rock Charlotte NC

By John Reynolds


Music has been in church, it will be in church and it should be in church. It helps Christians realize spirit-filled life. In other words, music enriches spiritual life of believers. Rock music performed by Christian individuals is called Christian rock. This type of genre has Christian lyrics. It mainly plays the role of entertainment rather than the worship. This kind of music started in 1970s and was called Jesus music. Nowadays, Christian Rock Charlotte NC is becoming common.

In the past, church leaders stood firmly against intrusion of secular music into church programs. Not every music type could be played inside the church. Only certain type, which was in accordance with the true doctrines, was allowed. Nowadays, things have really changed. It is regretful to say that some pastors accept rock music in church. Sons and even daughters of church leaders have embraced this kind of genre. They cling to the idea that the genre can help in evangelizing.

Youth leaders in churches located in and around City Charlotte NC are facing a lot of pressure to include the genre into programs for youths. Some people believe that by doing this more youths will be reached. However, this is not true. The reality is the genre is neither edifying nor evangelistic. The true Christians still stand against it. Before music is accepted in church there are a number of things must be considered. These are its character, lyrics and the score. Its effects to the listeners and also the doctrines must be considered.

Spiritual songs have lyrics that are spiritually oriented. They are understandable and clear. This does not only make them interesting, but also it makes it easy for believers to get the right message. Most of true Christians do not like Christian rocks. Students from universities, seminaries, biblical schools and other colleges mainly play such genre types.

Spiritual songs have unique features. Other than being clear, they are also attractive. Most importantly they are encouraging. Such features tend to have positive impact to the lives of Christians. True gospel songs teach more about the lives and deeds of Jesus and encourage believers to follow His footsteps. Their lyrics do not hinder listeners from receiving true information.
