What do we hear in the airwaves nowadays? Songs about sex, drugs, violence and petty stuff, isn’t it? It’s really kinda sad that over the years, people especially the music listeners don’t have much or should I say, a better choice of songs they should listen to. From flirting to hating, from loving to killing, there’s not much difference in the message being relayed by the musicians and artists of the past generations. Broken hearted people reminisce or cry even more when they hear a lousy sad line from a mushy love track. Or depressed people find themselves even worthless upon hearing an “emo” song which could possibly influence them to commit suicide, start a riot, and to kill others. But despite of all these odds, God truly knows that this generation needs something big, something positive, and worth listening to. Thank God for the music, real music that is! It feeds our souls, it encourages, teaches, and gives hope.

                It’s not something that we hear on almost  every radio frequency, neither it’s something that tops in the billboard music charts. No. It’s not as popular as the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Madonna, or the Pussycat Dolls. But there’s SOMETHING in this music that differs from all the rest! It speaks life, power, healing, faith, joy, and the great love of Jesus for us. Definitely, Christian music has gone a long way already. When some hear the word “Christian”, most people think it’s boring, foolishness, and no fun at all. Well I don’t think so! The emergence of Christian artists is slowly changing this perception. Artists like Casting crowns, Third Day, Toby Mac, Mercy Me, Switchfoot, Planet Shakers, Hillsong and a lot more, are very much on the roll right now, spreading a very powerful message through positive music. Their songs are not just plain songs that you could listen to. They give a positive outlook in life and the lyrics don’t just stuck to our ears, but into the very depths of our sobbing hearts. So if you’re sick and tired of the old music pattern, try something new, get into something big, and listen to something foolish, like how this world calls it...
