The Logic of Theology [Instrumental Music]

Many of you have already seen my website, "The Study-God_Logically Web Ministry ." I agree there is to be emotion involved with our religion. Joy and relief at the lifting of our burdens are but 2 examples. Yet, there also has to be logic. Everyone understands when they see the suffix, "-ology," that we are dealing with "science" or "the study" of something, dictated by the beginning of the word. From where does this suffix come? It comes from the Greek word, λόγος, or "logos."

Instrumental Christian Music as Entertainment

Do you think that Contemporary Christian Music as entertainment is ok? What reasoning do you have for thinking it is right or wrong?

My personal beliefs, and not necessarily the church of Christ as a whole's belief, is that it's ok to listen to it. I don't have a problem listening to a radio station with music with a Godly message that uses instruments. My reasoning is this: If we can listen to secular instrumental music, why can't we listen to Christian music? I know that a music coming through a speaker is not 'worship', simply entertainment.
