A Christian Writer or a Writing Christian?
Here is another article posted with permission, on a topic we’ve discussed at some of our fora. ARE YOU A CHRISITAN WRITER OR A CHRISTIAN WHO WRITE? This article is written by Samuel Connelly.
As a former DJ and VJ, I had the opportunity to interview a few people in the music industry and I came across an interesting concept: There is a difference between those who consider themselves 'Christian Bands' and those who see themselves as 'Bands who are made up of Christian musicians'. This really hit me as an interesting and somewhat confusing concept at first.
I was raised to believe that if you are a Christian, then your career should reflect that. In my mind, if you are a Christian then naturally you were to sing music that encourages Christians to be strong in their faith, or else, sing to bring glory to Jesus. Soon I was introduced to a whole new group of Christians; the group of Christians who sang songs that did not glorify God, period. They carried moral messages.
