Why is contemporary Christian music so lame?

I agree.

I wish the church leaders would actually watch the faces of the people as the different music is played/sang. When the old time music comes on, everyone is alive and full of spirit.

Then some idiot thinks that church is the place to do a 20 minute guitar jam, and the faces of everyone present is full of annoyance and boredom.

Music about God is supposed to be full of love, life, and worship. It's supposed to raise our minds to the heavens, like the old hymnals do.

just more evidence that there is no God, if there was one. im sure he'd inspire his 'followers' to make AMAZING music. Like he did with David from the bible story.

but as you all very well know, Most christian music is really bland & boring. i have found the odd artist that makes some nice sounding stuff, but its certainly no better then non christian music.

Sounds like you've been called to do something about that! Why are you wasting time complaining here?

Because it's a socially conservative religion (at least in its popular form) which renders the would-be artists in its flock to be stymied intellectually and creatively.

Contemporary music is lame, so why would Christian music be any different?

Thanks. Glad I am not the only one. It feels dead to me and I think they try to sanitize everything to make it more accommodating.
Who is telling them they have to make accommodating Muzak?
It isn't even a jam session but a strum session, no actual lyrical meaning or structure.

I just don't get it anymore. I am finding worship in God's creation, along a stream or a hike to be far more fulfilling.
Also the clique's of the church are growing very burdensome.

You need to find a new radio station because you are missing out on some of the best music ever.

yea please fix this problem...I agree although isn't Jack Johnson a "Christian" musician of sorts?

I like him.

Wow, yeah! That's some really boundary-pushing stuff!

now Handel and Bach could write some great religious music

It's not the music, it's more about the heart of the person singing it.

I would be rejected and have been for trying to do something about it by
zombies.

I have pointed this out in several congregations and the answer I get is that the Music should not distract from the Message.
Ugh. OK. What message am I supposed to get from
"Worthy of our praise, Lalalalal, Amazingly Worthy...".

I think this is an actual takeover to neuter the Church, to lull them in and put them to sleep rather than really waking up.

I don't know but I do know it doesn't feel spiritual or right in any way, it feels dead.

Please sign up for an account so I can message you my email address - would love to listen to your worship music!

Have you heard of Randy Stonehill?

Christian music has always been lame OP.

mainly cause it's cranked out the same machine that makes the rest of the poppy tunes that exist on non-christian music...christian music's got better distrobution though

Maybe because "Lucifer is a fallen angel who was the head of the ministry of music in Heaven when he was in heaven. It has been said of him he was the most beautiful of ALL angels and he was the director of the flow of music there (Praise and Worship).

Why do you think the mainstream and most sucessful bands are (almost) always related to evil?

The modern "Christian" songs are all written and produced by illuminati stooges.

Hillsong..or should I say TILLsong..is a prime example.

Plastic Christians in over embellished buildings of supposed social benevolence, singing shallow praise music...


While Jesus was out and about with the sinners - the real people who needed Him.

Maybe cause christianity itself is fucking lame as fuck?

501c3 music

Because man lives in the curse. The product of the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil. And evil has its time in this world. The human servants of truth, cannot channel, fighting fallen angels who create through others of clay. The architecture of the Most High is superior in every way and when the time comes, the fruits of the tree of life will be visible. There are exceptions that transcend time, in all art, as you noted in music. Remember christian is simply a context, those that serve HIM do and their fruit is set apart, regardless of time. Yet even the fallen angels adopt and pervert truth, into a lie… rather than create, As truth is most beautiful... the God of creation and a shadow of the Most High.

I don't know what kind of garbage you are listening to...but the music I listen to is amazing.

Demon Hunter
Worth Dying For
Disciple
Thousand Foot Krutch

Powerful and amazing worship songs along with powerful and amazing rock and metal that I love. I feel God more in the above stuff than I ever would in an old hymn.

Amazing like the names the bands chose?

Yeah, i totally agree with you. If I remember correctly, I remember reading about how Jesus had said something along the lines of "there is "power" in the voice". So if this is true, (which I believe it is, especially when you start getting into the Sulfeggio frequencies); then it stands to reason, that the actual act of singing/playing...is about focusing this innate "power" onto worshiping God. Basically when you think about it, by singing and/or playing an instrument tuned to the Sulfeggio frequencies...one is actually creating a form of "power", and giving it to God.

Another thing which goes along with this, is how the actual musical standard for tuning instruments is no longer based upon Sulfeggion frequencies...although I am not sure exactly what the current standard is based upon. So singing/playing (in the Sulfeggio frequencies), could be considered one of the greatest forms of worship, because of this divine energy exchange. Then if one was to think about it, would not the corrupting/changing of the musical scale, which gave one the ability to create this "power"....could have been actually be done so as to nullify this divine energy exchange?????
