5 Embarrassing Christian Songs
wygeradio.com

Christian songs are great. There's nothing better than turning on the radio after a long day and hearing a song that lifts you up, and you know God put it there just for you. There are times when you just get so lost in worship that it's a wonderful experience. But like all music, there are times when Christian radio just doesn't seem to make any sense...

1) Jesus Culture "How He Loves"

Love's like a hurricane, and I am a tree
Bending beneath the weight of His wind and mercy

Hurricane's destroy things and leave people, homes, and communities devestated. That's not any experience I've ever had with God's love....

2) Chris Tomlin "Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone)"

And like a flood His mercy rains

Floods rain? Since when?

3) Chris Tomlin "In The Secret"

“I want to touch you, I want to see your face, I want to know you more.”

This song makes no mention of WHO is being sung to. Very confusing for anyone who doesn't know...

4) Mat Redman "Heart of Worship"

"For a song in itself Is not what You have required"

Here we see that we are singing a song about not having to sing a song because God does not want a song. So let's sing about it.

5) Sidewalk Prophets "Wrecking Ball"

I need a wrecking ball
Slamming inside my heart
Breaking me all apart
Tearing the old away
Killing the fear in me
Until I can finally breathe
Even if it hurts so bad that I can’t even stand
Take it all, let me fall into Your hands

Besides the fact that people look at you weird when you say you're listening to "Wrecking Ball" this song sounds fun, but makes no sense. When it hurts so bad you can't stand, then you can breathe. And apparently something slamming into your heart kills your fear. Actually it probably would. Because you'd be dead.

All that being said, Christian music is still an uplifting part of anyone's day. Just make sure you know what you're singing.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
