christian rock musicWhen rock 'n roll first appeared in the early 50's the Christian community decried it as a "tool of Satan." But in the 70's, a sinister hand began planting a small, but deadly seed. And the walls began to crumble. And like a raging hurricane, rock began infiltrating, some say desecrating, the traditional sacred music of the church. Suddenly there were many Christian rock bands on the scene: Bill Gaither, the Imperials, Dallas Holmes, Randy Stonehill, Keith Greene, and others. Today, Christian rock music is common inside many churches hoping to reach out to the young and the hip. But, within even sincere Christian rock lyrics you may find the rebellion, sexual themes, blasphemy, even occult influences, all found flying under the cover of Christian rock.
