Shaking my Head at the Radio


While flipping through the radio dial recently, I noticed what may be a new trend emerging among Contemporary Christian stations. That is, some of these stations have taken the word "Christian" out of the music genre. Some of the new adjectives they are employing are "inspirational," "positive," "uplifting," etc. I guess this is the next logical evolution to the consumer driven church which seeks to remove any offense, including the cross, to the nonbeliever. It seems we are surrounded today with more and more "religious" and "spiritual" programming than ever, but we hear less and less of law or Gospel. Will we come to a place, in the not so distant future, that we find nonbelivers increasingly attracted to these f/k/a Christian stations? Will we see them on the interstate smiling and singing gleefully to "inspirational" songs with no notion that they are sitting under the wrath of a holy God, and without knowledge of the sweetness of the Gospel? Instead of "positive" music, perhaps AC/DC's "Highway to Hell" would be a better selection. It might be more honest.
