Music for the Glory of Christ

More on the "secular/Christian" music issue. Here's Bob Kauflin on Can Christian Musicians Play Secular Music for God's Glory?

Here are his main points to consider:
  1. What is my motive for wanting to be involved in secular music?
  2. A Christian's success in the secular music industry is not necessarily a sign of God's blessing.
  3. Secular music doesn't necessarily mean godless or anti-Christian.
  4. We can't judge musicians motives from a distance.
  5. Being involved in secular music doesn't justify abandoning the church or minimizing faith.
  6. The world needs to see people who've been changed by the gospel in every arena.
  7. Not all music by Christians needs to expound the full gospel.
