Apart From the Name of Christ

I have been thinking about Christians and how what they do. We are supposed to be in the world but not of it. Which does not mean that we cannot do anything that is considered worldly. Your motives will make a difference on how worldly it is. Don’t forget to weigh everything in light of what the Bible says. Just because you don't think you should do something should not be your final answer. You need to be living the Bible not your opinion. Yes your conscience has its place but that never out weighs the Bible.

I have been greatly bothered by the slogan a radio station that is broadcasted nation wide that is a Christian station but they refuse to identify with Christ by name it seems. Their slogan is “The Positive Alternative.” Let me pick the logic of that apart. Positive is something that is happy, a good way to see things, not down. Those a just a few ways to look at positive. Now lets look at alternative. Alternative is something that is not the same as others, different, something that someone sees as better. That is a simple break down of it.

If you are Alternative you should be playing different music from what the other stations play. When you turn on the station and hear some of the very same songs that other stations play that is not different. Not to mention the songs are not ever Christian in any way. If you were to look at other songs by those artists you would see that they are not a good artist to listen to if you want to only listen to Christian based moral songs. I am not saying Christians should only listen to Christian music.

I don't see how you can on one side clam that you are a alternative but really you are not. That would be lying to people. Then when people look deeper into your station and see that the base of your station is Christian and that your station below the surface is Christian you are being a bad name for Christ.

If you are trying to teach the good morals of Christ without the name of Christ you have lost your authority to teach His morals. Satan is not opposed to good morals he is opposed to Christ. If you have not see the movie Time Changer I would strongly suggest that you watch it. It explains my view on good morals apart from the name of Christ.
