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.
We wanted to comment ,,,but feel like we really couldn't have said anything better, so I guess we are just saying we agree with ya'll!
