* GodIsLoveSongs: Well, they are ChristianRock band catering to a mainstream secular audience.
** "Whispers in the Dark" is written from the perspective of God, to humans, affirming that [[YouAreNotAlone "you'll never be alone"]]. If you don't know about it, you can think it's a StalkerWithACrush song.
** "Salvation" is about faith in God, but can be viewed as a wholesome ode to a loved one.

* ChristianRock

to:

* ChristianRockChristianRock: They started out with songs that were not at all subtle about worshipping Jesus, but eventually turned their sound more mainstream, switching to lyrics that were ''kind'' of about Jesus. Lead singer John Cooper has stated in interviews that it is the band's desire to be relevant to Christians and non-Christians alike, but they're still very much a Christian band. Given that they still (as of 2009, at least) read from the Bible during concerts, that seems to indeed be the case and John does preach too.
