On Christian Music

I often hear Christians talk about how "bad" Christian music is. Since moving to Spokane, I've had a longer commute, and I've had the chance to listen to a lot of Christian music. Quite frankly, a lot of it is quite good. Some of it is bad. Much of it is not appropriate for Sunday morning worship. But I would say half of it (give or take 10%) is of decent quality, and a lot of the music has good lyrics.

Sure, a lot of it is experientially-centered, but I can't deny that's part of the faith.

I often question my ability to judge music because people say ccm is poor quality and I like a lot of it.

I do think it has really improved in the last ten years.

I feel like in the last few years or so, Christian music has become more about worshipping...more songs directed towards God than directed towards people as an evangelism tool. I think the re-focus on worship, while probably flawed in some ways (we may not worship perfectly but I think God accepts it as from loving children), has really helped Christian music to improve recently.
