Worldly music is not Christian music

Before you say that this is an obvious point that does not need to be stressed and explained, think about this for a moment.

A christian magazine asks why are some Christian musicians that are claiming to sing Christian songs make a conscious effort to replace and even not mention the name Jesus with different pronouns like Him, He, You?



Why are these so called “Christian music” try so hard to be hip and be accepted by the world?

True Christian music is sung only to the Lord and if other people do not like it, then why should you care?

In Ephesians 5:19 it says:

Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart TO THE LORD

In Colossians 3:16 it says:

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts TO THE LORD.

Some Christian musicians may argue that they are trying to evangelize through their music. There is nothing wrong with that but you should remember that the main purpose of Christian music is to praise God and not to evangelize.

Remember that the majority of people that would be singing Christian songs are already Christians – and there is no music sweeter and more beautiful than the music that praise and glorify the Lord.
