Yes and no. How's that for a safe answer.
As far as the music part of your question, I have mixed emotions. I think it has a lot to do with how the artists performs their music. If they perform in reverence and respect to God, then I see no problem with it. But I can definitely see where you're coming from. I attended a church one night and they had their own instruments to play their own music. They had played songs that I had heard before and considered to be pretty modest, but they were all jazzed up when they played them. people were jumping up and down in the aisles. Some were slam dancing, some were dirty dancing. I left the service during the first song because I felt the way they were acting was disrespectful to God's House. It wasn't the song, but their actions.
Now for the "
anything with a Christian message is okay" part, I can't agree with that. Anything that is contrary to the Word of God is wrong no matter what label it wears. For example, I know of a lady that claims to be a Christian prostitute. And she justifies her actions because she witnesses before she "performs." But, that is jumping way over the line!!!
So no, not everything that wears a Christian label is Christian in nature.
