Well... I've been making up songs since I was really little except back then they were more along the lines of "I love peanut butter I love Jesus!"
the songs I write come directly from my experiences... straight from my heart. I write these songs for several reasons... The most important is to glorify Jesus.... I also write these to question the world's standards... I believe that, as christians we should refuse to sit back and accept what society calls "the norm" We should be willing to stand up for what we believe in... whether it be in actions... or in words.... Often people call bands "sell outs" because they switch styles or for other reasons. I think to be a sell out... is to be someone who denies Christ, and gives up everything that Christ has done for them. I don't care if people see me as a "poser" or "punk rawk". The only thing that matters to me is that they know I love Jesus more than anything else!

Read this:
One of the Just Men came to Sodom, determined to save its inhabitants from sin and punishment. Night and day he walked the streets and markets protesting against greed and theft, falsehood and indifference. In the beginning, people listened and smiled ironically. Then they stopped listening; he no longer even amused them. The killers went on killing, the wise kept silent, as if there were no Just Man in their midst.
One day a child, moved by compassion for the unfortunate teacher, approached him with these words: "Poor stranger, you shout, you scream, don't you see that it is hopeless?" "Yes, I see," answered the Just Man. "Then why do you go on?" "I'll tell you why. In the beginning, I thought I could change man. Today, I know I can not. If I still shout today, if I still scream, it is to prevent man from ultimately changing me." -- Elie Wiesel
