Being a Conservative Christian Musician- part 1

Christian musicians who are conservative in lifestyle are to be commended because such appearance reflects a wholesome public image and a proper image of a representative of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  However, I would like to remind conservatives that hiding behind a conservative lifestyle while performing instrumental or vocal music that, by its moral implications, is not a proper representation of the God whom they are musicing about, is incongruent with the principle of a changed life of a Christian.  Hence, when a Christian performs such music it becomes a form of hypocrisy (the practice of claiming to have moral standards or beliefs to which one's own behavior does not conform).  When I speak of conservative music, I am referring to the music part of the music that they perform as well as the words or physical actions that accompany the music part of the music.

          If a musician believes in separation from the world and believes that this difference must be shown outwardly, that musician should not perform religious music that is strongly representative of the world and a worldly lifestyle.  I have never been able to understand why some Christians believe in separation in every area of life except music style.   Such a haphazard approach to separation from the spirit of this world [i.e. aion 165] is a very incongruent music philosophy and must seem quite inconsistent to non-believers who are watching everything that Christians do.
