Jammed from @ayatollah_ben. I've been on TiMJ a year now and celebrating with the best songs I've discovered.
Switchfoot a band from my city! That gets some hate from my secular friends. "Oh, God I believe, Please help me believe". This song is inspired by Soren Kirkegaard. He presented faith as the idea of a blind leap in the dark "And I’m taking the leap" This stood in stark contrast to the previous ideas that faith was something built upon knowledge. Many evangelicals will still hold to the old view that faith is something built on knowledge and previous experience. That is to say faith in Christ isn't a blind leap in the dark, but is based on such things as fulfilled promises, personal experience, or the truth of changed lives that a person can see. I think it's both depending on the person. Both Lewis and Kirkegaard have spoken a truth that has rang true in my heart. When I walk into church I turn the criticism filter way up because the things discussed there, if true, have eternal importance. I don't only listen to Christian music but when I do I like it to be authentic and real.
