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 olden days, church leaders withstood intrusion of world into the church. They did not accept any kind of music into the church. However, things have changed nowadays. Some church leaders and the some pastors are accepting rock music. They argue that it is a biblical tool for evangelizing. Sons and daughters of pastors and other church leaders want this type of genre.

Charlotte NC is a home of many churches. Each of the churches has youth leaders who represent youths in church meetings. It has been noticed that most of youth leaders are receiving so many request from fellow youths to include Christian rocks within the programs. Some youths believe that such genre types will enthrall more people especially youths into church. The truth is that such music type will erode the good traditions of church. Such songs are not evangelistic and are not edifying. When you look at the character, lyrics and score of this kind of music you will definitely know it is against the church doctrines.

Lyrics of true gospel music are spiritually oriented. They are able to convey spiritual truth in the right manner because of their clarity. Christian rock does not have the aforementioned features. Nowadays, singers from institutions like biblical schools, universities and seminaries are leaving true Christians confused and bewildered every time they present their items before the church. They are playing a totally different music.

One of the characteristics of spiritual songs is that they are clear. This makes it easy for believers to understand them. Such songs are played in accordance with sound doctrines. Words used are encouraging and teach more about the Jesus Christ. Their lyrics do not prevent listeners from getting true information.

Score refers to the way in which musical notes have been arranged. Score of spiritual songs must not obstruct the message being passed by lyrics. In other words, score of spiritual songs should complement lyrics in order to convey the intended message in the right manner and in the right method. The manner in which musical notes have been arranged in song can cause emotional and physical reactions, which an individual has no control over.

Good gospel songs do not arouse bad emotional reactions of the listeners because musical notes in them have been arranged in the correct way. Christian rock lacks this feature. Its lyrics and score are not as those of other spiritual songs. Character of a song is determined by the attitude of song and of singers.

Character of Christian music is best described as Universalist, charismatic, superficial religiousness, irreverent, expressionistic, ostentatious and neo-evangelical. Furthermore, the genre is accompanied with smoke bombs and screaming guitars. The characteristic of this genre shows that it is not the right music to be played in church.
