Allow me to offer a suggestion.
Here are the current Top 10 songs in the country: ![]()
Carefully look up the lyrics to these songs, and tell me why the Christian community cannot offer something better? Something rational? Something beautiful?
Because the Top 10 songs include 8 or 9 love songs (they will change each week, but the content probably will not), and they’re pure and utter nonsense. They don’t offer reciprocal love – rather, they are merely about how the other person makes me feel, and how the other person can serve my needs, and how I can’t live without the other person. Maybe there’s one word or two about loving them back, but the majority of the songs are the epitome of self-serving narcicism.
There’s hope in this, though – if we were even doing a mediocre job in our relationships (we’re not), then we could change the climate, and change some hearts.
Let’s show the love of Christ to each other, and it will blow everyone away. They’ll either love it or be so confused that they watch in amazement!
