I would never advocate that Christians making music disappear, but I would hope that we continue to work towards less separation and instead more non conforming. Thanks for jumping in!

Should you have to pay to hear the gospel message? Well, if you want to attend a concert and invite a friend in the hopes they will hear a message about Jesus, then you buy their ticket. If your friend has not seen a message about Jesus through your friendship, then you've got a different issue. I wish there wasn't a designation although as a mom, its nice to have a couple radio stations with music I don't have to edit with my kids in the car.

Hmmm....... Christ has become a business venture?? Hmmm.... I still say He was a Communist! Feels like something went seriously wrong somewhere to me :-( Too many of us want to be 'of the Earth' and not just 'on' it. I haven't seen anything in the Bible that tells me Jesus needed to get paid to spread His message? An honest wage for an honest day's work is fine... if that's the way you are 'told' to live i guess? But who's word's are we listening to ? His? or the rest of our Society's? <B <B love's last blog post...<a href="http://lovewillbringustogether.wordpress.com/2008/07/30/seven-deadly-sins-part-v-lust/" rel="nofollow">Seven Deadly Sins - Part V.

It really puts a wall up between believers and nonbelievers, and how am I supposed to reach anyone if this dang wall is in between? I say tear it down..I love so many types of music... should I pay for them? YES I believe it is how God is providing for them as the travel perform, spread HIS word..man I have spent 2 sometimes 3 times the amount to see secular bands...and it was worth it to me.. darla's last blog post...<a href="http://4evrhis.wordpress.com/2008/07/30/blogging-bible-study-john-2/" rel="nofollow">Blogging Bible Study-John 2</a> I hate the segregation that happens between Christian/secular..there is some I hate on both sides,and some I love on both sides..
