Music

I realized today why I have found Christian rap and hard rock to be the mainstay of my music collection. Much of it has to do with the lyrics. Most of the music classified under the Contemporary Christian Music (CCM for short) is full of vapid repetition and fails to recognize the real difficulties of living a Christian life in this world and also fails to provide release for some of the pent up frustrations people have growing up.

Don't get me wrong, there is absolutely a place for adoration and praise of Jesus. However, when music and lyrics become one dimensional, like "Jesus, Jesus, my Jesus" repeated ad-nauseum, it makes complete sense as to why many people view the whole CCM genre as junk. I can hardly blame them.
