Many Christians are opposed to upbeat Christian music. This I do not understand. I understand that certain genres of music like rap, metal, and rock had negative beginnings, but that does not mean it can not be used to glorify God's name.
Some would say that there is so much evil in that music, that it could never be used for good. Would you say there us so much evil in painting that it could never be used to honor God? No, there are many amazing paintings depicting the holiness of God. Yes, there is evil in music, but I believe God can overcome evil.
In our day and age, a Christian music culture is extremely beneficial. There is so much horrible, degrading music that we need good music. Christian music is like an oasis in a desert. Bad music so pervades our culture that we need good music to counter and push it back.
Christian music can also be wonderful way to introduce others to Christ. Introduce them to Lecrae, Tobymac, DC Talk, etc. These artists have an amazing sound and meaningful lyrics.
Music of all types is useful for Christians. Let us not judge music based on genre, but on content.
