Christian Music

I just wanted to clear up a few misconceptions. Christian music is music that has accepted Jesus into its heart. A handy measure of whether music is Christian or not is the JPM (Jesus per minute) count. It has nothing to do with profit or industry. Christian music should have its own section of a music store and should not be held to musical creative stadards.

Additionally, music created by Christians should not be taken seriously by mainstream music critics. The fact that they are writing songs about their Christian faith is grounds for disregarding any musical skill or innovation they bring to their "craft". If any mainstream musical artist decides to make some proclamation of Christian faith, he or she must be relegated to the Christian music grotto. A good measure for whether music is acceptable for the mainstream audience is the JPM count. Mainstream listeners do not want to have Christianity forced upon them. It is acceptable however, if any other religion is being propagated, and is actually somewhat brave and should be admired.

I hope that clears things up for everybody.

I think I finally found a name for this blog I'm satisfied with

"I think if we were given the Scriptures, it was not so that we could prove that we were right about everything. If we were given the Scriptures it was to humble us into realizing that God is right and the rest of us are just guessing."
