I had the privilege of attending the Christian music Camp called Camp Electric at Cedarville Ohio. It was amazing to see some of the most talented gifted musical teens being mentored and taught by some of the leading Christian musicians of our time. Kids would sit around in groups of five, ten, and twenty and just play their instruments and sing their hearts out to God. I was amazed that even during the major Christian concerts, some of these kids would rather worship God than see a performance of worship. The environment of Camp Electric was electrifying by the very presence of God. Worship leaders were not performing to large teen audiences but were performing to an audience of One. People saw these humble passionate God seekers and it was contagious. If there was a day that a Christian Rock and Roll gathering was an oxy-moron or contradiction, for those who experience these conferences may be transformed in the Presence of God and realize that all music is God's and its only when the enemy tries to steal it and take the glory away from God that music turns dark and ugly. May all creation celebrate the glory of God that is every where as God's holy fire falls onto people who have spiritual eyes to see, ears to hear, and hearts to receive the gift of music from the Creator of those gifts.
