Have you ever noticed that whenever the secular world comes out with even the dumbest item of pop culture, there's a Christian alternative avaliable the next day? We have Christian rap and rock "music," Christain jewelery, and even a Christian version of Harry Potter!
The problem is that you can't take something wordly and wicked and make it Holy. Rap and Rock glorify immoral sex and brutal violence. "Christian" has only brought mre believers closer to the devil (see www.av1611.org/othpubl.html#Crock). Harry Potter is an occult series of books, why would Christians want to emulate that?
We have become too wordly, when we as Christians are supposed to be different from the rest of the world.
Jesus said it best: "If the WORLD hate you, ye know it hated me before it hated you. If ye were of the WORLD, the WORLD would love his own: but because ye are not of the WORLD, but I have chosen you out of the WORLD, therefore the WORLD HATETH YOU." John 15:18,19.
It's no wonder fewer people are turning to true, biblical Christianity. If I was an unbeliever I wouldn't take the Bible seriously either if I saw so many people using it as a marketing tool.
I'm not saying that all Christian music is bad, just that I know CCM is not godly. And I'm not saying that Christians shouldn't write books, just that they shouldn't mimic popculture fads and be original. Most importantly, i't's time to take a stand for the old fashioned faith, the kind that didn't sell t-shirts!
