from a question from joel,

hi guys,
well, i was just hit by a question on this blog abt whether “taylor swift’s change” is a christian song..
i think by my understanding, that it can be and also can be a pop song.. or what ever you want it to be.

Alot of artist nowadays know the importance in living in our Lord Jesus Christ.. and because of thier profession, in the recording labels and companies, they are not fortunate to write worship songs like for example -planet shakers, hillsongs.. ect ect..
we must ALWAYS remember.. that everyone is put where they are by the PERFECT planning of OUR God.

So, now, as it is written, we should always give glory to God in all that we do.. hence, these artist also would want to do the same.

We’ll be abit surprised that we do have extremist in our daily church life that have the mentality that if you are in the entertainment world, you are a sinner! which is WRONG!!! yes, the argument is, “you cant be in the world and follow God. ” but then my question is, who gave you this tallent??? who allowed the opportunity to arise in your way.. who allowed you to be so famous??? -another argument may arise when they say.. “who allowed mettalica to be so famous… but that is a totally diffrent topic.. i believe all music comes from God! coz He is the creator and whatever is done with music, that person shall be held accountable for his tallents..” ok ok.. getting back to our topic..

I read a blog from the lead singer of “the fray” which has also the same kind of music like lifehouse and ect… he said, now, my profesion is a singer, i would love to do my job but that doesnt mean i cant sing about love n life’s troubles.. he gave an example of a plumber… is a plumber going to fix the plumbing in christian peoples houses only or for everyones houses..?? same goes for a singer or a band.

Hence, as we open our minds n see the bigger picture.. we wont be so blinded.. these bands like “lifehouse, the fray, switchfoot, taylor swift, carrie underwood, keith urban, rascall flatts ect.. ” are seeing the big picture.. yes they are planted in the music world, but as you can see in thier dressings, in the way the carry them selves, and the lyrics they write, they also are glorifying God..

So, the question, is it a christian song???? i’d say hmm, depends on how you wanan look at it… if i were to read those lyrics just like dat, i’d say yes it is.. is it singing about JESUS?? maybe… if you wana sing it to jesus, no problem.. im sure he’d enjoy it..

Just for your info, the song by lifehouse-everything…is also sang in churches.. so, once again, it depends on how u wana see it.

A word of encouragement to others, if people say, that song is not a c’tian song, you say.. well, up to you.. but i’d like to see it as one. and you’ll find music spicing up your life in so many ways.
