I aslo agree that we do not always need to mention God God in Christian songs; Howver, I have got to disagree about you in one thing : To write songs about what the world can offer you, for instance if you break up with your girl friend, infactuate or romance instead of Love and Peace, in my opinion , I consider "Rubbish " WHY ? Those secular musics that have been written by many non christian artists tell you that you can depend upon on your strength instead of God . As a result, instead of seeking God's way to solve the problem , you are seeking your own way, feeling and emotion. I used to experience all of these before when I was not a christian. But again judge not and you won't be judged of what other Christian artists do. If they are doing wrong then God will speak to them !! -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hilli Gibson |\/\/\/\/\/| Computer Power Software Pty Ltd Australia | |
