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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
