[Worship] Help, please! =)

[Lawrence Loh <fossilfang@ilovejesus.net>]

Calling all Pastors and Worship Leaders...
whoever can help...

I am a youth, and I have read and been disturbed by the following articles:

http://www.biblebelievers.com/Devries1.html

http://www.biblebelievers.com/AntiRock1.html

http://www.biblebelievers.com/Rock1.html

Could you please get back to me and tell me:

(i) What exactly is Christian Rock? Which artists are encompassed by this definition?

Is music like "This is how we overcome" by Hillsongs Australia, "Message of the Cross" or "Did You Feel the Mountains Tremble" by Delirious? or other such songs (Steven Curtis Chapman, Sonic Flood, etc.) Christian Rock? Where does one draw the line?

(ii) Is what the articles say true? They make great reference to secular artists, what about Christian artists? Their arguments are very convincing in the sense that we shouldn't use pornography to entice fornicators to come to church, is there something really wrong with using contemporary beats/music to entice youths to be on fire for God?

Help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much

Yours sincerely,
Lawrence Loh
