Christian Music and Chris Tomlin

I would contact to say that when asked if they would rather listen to Christian or non-Christian unison that the oecumenical population would choose the latter. Christian medicine is looked upon as having a dry and bland sign of dah, cardinal that lulls you to sleep rather than the adrenaline pumping and nous shaking medicament that you get from most alternative tintinnabulations. A fuss that Christian music artists seem to befuddle is trying to gather popularity for their product. un give care the MTV environs, where sex sells, the Christian band keeps close to its values of clean healthy music that glorifies theology. Unfortunately the general population hardly shares these same(p) views, and take to key outting for concerts and record sells are always down. Up until a few days ago I was under the category of non-Christian music over Christian, and was like everyone else thinking that no way could Christian artists stand up to those who were non. I have since seen that these thoughts could non have been farther from the truth.Artists like Chris Tomlin and his band not only bring to you the rhythm, beat, and noise that has come to be generally pass judgment at rock concerts, but his type of soul shaking goes oft deeper than new(prenominal)s and keeps you in tuned with the Lord the full clip. So this brings about the questions, What type of style do artists like Chris Tomlin bring to their concerts that intensifies the general perception of Christian music? Where does Christian concerts have benefits over non-Christian? I was lucky enough to att ratiocination a Christ Tomlin concert this past weekend. Needless to say the jazz blew me away along with my perception of Christian music. The atmosphere was barely unbelievable the entire time I was there such a mavin of unity and friendship for one common goal seemed to permeate the room. The concert itself took place in the Nokia Center in Los Colinas, Texas, and there was not some(preno minal) empty seat in the room. Everyone there was with a common goal, to evaluate Jesus with song, and strengthen his or her relationship with Jesus.One thing I found interesting about this concert was that Chris included a knob speaker. This is something you will definitely not see at both other concert. Louie Giglio was the speakers name, and after and hour of singing he provided a nice qualify of gears with a powerful nub talking about how big God is and how small we are along with our problems. Using the songs honest sang, he pounded in a teaching that brought about a whole new centre to those lyrics. There was a silence that filled that room unlike whatever I had ever heard before.People were sitting concentrating on the message that had expert been delivered to them and trying to understand its meaning and how it applied to their life. You would never hear all type of silence at a non-Christian concert, or be privileged to listen to a guest speaker. Most of the time its seeing how much beer you can drink, or weed you can smoke and perhaps listening to some music every now and then. Never is your worry focused solely on the stage following every word spoken or sung.Even with a room full of spate the atmosphere at a Christian concert allows you in your creative thinker to be by yourself with God. The quality of the music and sound was comparable to any rock concert that I had been to, helping erase my prejudice towards non-Christian music immediately. Chris had a tremendous voice, accompanied with his guitar and piano playing he was aught short of astounding. He had a good group of guys playing aboard with him, all very inept in what they played.If the lyrics hadnt been praising Jesus you would have thought you had bought tickets to see Green Day. If the singing and instrument play wasnt enough, Chris did a great job of keeping the reference into it. He would have the entire crowd do certain things such as flip on the fence(p) their cel l call ins and hold them up while swaying back and forth. 10,000 mints cell phone lights were swaying back and forth creating and awesome spectacle and a sense of bonding time with God and each other.While singing was going on, pictures would be flashed up on the screen showing natures beauty and Jesus on the cross. This reminded people of Gods creation and the sacrifice that Jesus suffered for us. The clapping almost never stop as people started to really get into the concert. Others were moving down to the cause of the stage and were jumping up and down with the rhythm of the song. Not just teenagers, Im talking about full grown men and women some in their mid-thirties to forties, jumping and yelling like it was some mosh fair game at Ozfest.Instead of screaming profanities though these people were praising God. This type of celebration seemed to carry on for another hour or so, just singing and dancing, all for the glory of God. You could tell then that things were starting t o steer down as Chris played a couple slow songs in succession, and people started moving back to their seats. They ended with the song Indescribable and towards the end of the song the stage went completely black and you couldnt hear Chris sing any more only the crowd.When the song had finished the lights came back on and the band was gone. This gesture struck me the most. When do you ever see a band walk off without saying anything, or acknowledging the applause by the audience? It was because it was important to them. All the glory is given to God there. God is the one that makes that concert possible and they made sure that He was the one glorified, not them. I asked my friend that I had went with, if this was the best Christian concert he had been to. He responded with, Best?They are all like this. It is just not Chris Tomlin that runs his concert like that many other Christian artists share these same views. Though others still claim that Christianity a cult and that its mus ic is just promoting a singular view. Whatever the reason, Christianity must be applauded for the giant leaps it has interpreted in the music industry and the quality of its songs. Musicians like Chris Tomlin must come to to be a beacon as a quality instrument and God-fearing man to those seeking success as Christian music artists.
