Today there is a musical movement away from this biblical standard among Christian youth called rock ‘n’ roll. Our young people have grown up with this rock music, and now see no reason to give it up. The idea that rock music is a valid biblical tool for the evangelization of the lost and the edification of believers is also becoming more accepted by older saints, and more popular with pastors and Christian leaders. In the past, older believers withstood the intrusion of the world into the Church. But now many of the saints are also clamoring for the music their sons and daughters want–ROCK. Youth leaders and pastors are facing increasing pressure to incorporate rock ‘n’ roll in their programs for young people, because “more kids can be reached.” Out of this movement and with this acceptance and popularity, Contemporary Christian Music was born.
It may be observed that Religious Rock poses a threat to the vitality of the Body of Christ. Christian young people are being saturated with a biblically deficient, superficial, religious emotionalism and the older believers are being bullied into surrendering scriptural values which make up the basis for building strong Christian lives.
