I thought what I was was better than this

Have you ever noticed that there isnt much difference between christian teens and secular teens? Like how they have the same sort of things in pop culture seculat teens would follow, Christian teens do the same. Take bands fo instance. Now I like music, but like how secular teens would follow someone like brittney spears, or their favorite band, Christian do the same with the Christian equivalant. And have you noticed that there is a christian equivalant for litereally everything? There's everything from toy's to Godtube.com.

It makes me dissappointed because so many of us strive to be different for Christ, yet we're just the same. Satan has proved that he has a grip tightly around us, even us Christians. I think we need to redefine Christian music, and not just by record labels like how it is now. Like, to every song, we need to ask, "Does this further His kingdom? Or will it help further it?" And if it doesn't, cast it away from us as a group, Because the Bible says, "if you hand causes you to sin, cut it off for it is better to have one part of your body burn in Hell than your whole body to burn in Hell."

There are "Christian" Bands on "Christian" labels with absoultly no songs that reflect the love of Jesus or God, so... that makes them Christians in a band. Like Hawk Nelson. The only song that someone might be able to argue that point is for their song Zero. That's why some band that are Christians, are completely real with themselves, like The Fray, and say that their music is secular, but they are Christians.

If we live following pop culture, no matter which one it is, we begin to put the pop culture ahead of our relationship with Jesus, which then we begin to love the pop culture more than we love Jesus, yet we would still say we are Christians, but in reality we are hypocrites.

Here's a quote from dc Talk's song "What if I Stumble?" "The greatist single cause of Atheism in the world today, is Christians. Wh aknowledge Jesus with their lips, walk out the door and deny Him by thier lifestyle. That is what an unbelieving world simply finds unbelievable."
