What makes a Christian artist a Christian artist? Is it an artist that only writes "Christian" songs? Or can it be an artist who is Christian but doesn't necessarily go out of their way to write Christian themed music. Can you be a true Christian and not write songs that point to the Gospel in some way? We all know or heard of some secular artists claiming that they are Christians when their music clearly goes against Christian principals. Are they Christians?
Certainly Christianity is not summed up in the type of songs you may or may not write or listen to. But we have to carefully consider the content of the songs we write/listen to. Why do you write the songs that you write? What is the purpose of your music? We need to think about these things not only from a music standpoint but also with life in general. If you are a Christian are you living your life in a way that brings glory to God? Of course we fail in that everyday, but is that our goal as believers? Or do we have our own agenda? Do we take our own agenda and try to merge it with God's agenda? Our goal should be to do God's agenda alone... Just something to think about.
