   Hi everyone. What is so wrong with Christian Contemporary Music and Christian Rock? I listen to both on a regular basis. I guess I just don't understand why Christian Rock and Christian Contemporary Music is frowned upon at this board.

   Let me start with, yes, it may have already been discussed, but I'm a newbee and am going to ask anyway. I would like to hear some different perspectives on music for worship services including "specials" as they say. Let also say, I am not trying to start a huge debate or argument. I have heard it said that music should be limited to hymns and even with no piano all the way to Christian rock is suitable for specials. Now I don't think there is even a question when it comes to the "Christain rock", but what about milder forms of praise music or southern gospel? Any tasteful and respectful opinions on this. (It is always best to provide scripture to back your doctrin…

   Bluegrass gospel/southern gospel-need advice 1 2 3 4 15

   The SWAT team has a Sunday evening slot on a community radio station. In between discussions and debates we play traditional hymns and have also started to play bluegrass and southern gospel music. Most of our listeners are Aussie IFB's. On our team we have a Bro. from Mississippi whose father has just started a church in Western Sydney, which we attend. Hence the introduction of bg/southern gospel music. We have had a number of complaints about playing this kind of music. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I personally, having recently been introduced to this type of music, love it. I understand that we have to be careful with respect to the performers an…

   Bill Gaither and the Southern Gospel Crowd 1 2 3 4 14

   I have been greived for years over the Southern Gospel music industry. So often, especially here in the South, pastors really give rock, Christian rock, and CCM the dickens, but leave Southern Gospel music alone. We would cringe if someone wanted to sing a Christian rap song, or a Christian jazz song, in a conservative congregation, but we make excuses when it comes to the Southern Gospel crowd. Just to give you a peak into Satans true colors in the SGM crowd read the following article about Bill Gaither and his allegiance to the Southern Gospel Sodomites. http://www.jesus-is-savior.com/Evils%20in%20America/CCM/marsha_stevens.htm Isa 5:20 Woe unto them that call ev…

   If you do not know who the Getty's are, please look them up before posting. Have you noticed that the new Majesty hymnal contains music from the Gettys/Sovereign Grace? What is your opinion on that? I find it an outrage that they are digging through garbage to find good music. I think it is sad I can't just buy a CD from a trusted source without knowing if there is CCM behind the music. Why aren't pastors stepping up and writing the Hamiltons? Why aren't we fighting for our music? Why have we stopped caring about associations? Don't people understand as soon as a weaker Christian hears you listening to something like "Amazing Grace My Chains are Gone" they will automatic…

    Why is that we fundamentalists reject CCM because it uses the Rock and Roll beat, yet we embrace Southern Gospel and other styles that use the same exact Piano Rhythms that were used in Ragtime, Swing and other early genres from the early 1900s. Do a study on the history of the musical genres of Ragtime, Blues, Honkey Tonk, and Boogie Woogie. I really am tired of this hypocrisy, you either must accept all genres as being valid, or you must reject all these other genres that borrow the worlds bar scene rhythms. does 50 years passing by somehow make these genres and styles that were used to promote filth somehow make these now sanctified? after studying and …

    (Just a quick note: I'm and evil Calvinistic Christian, so if my tone seems a little "off" I apologize) Okay, so I know that ya'll aren't into Christian music sounding like the World's music, right? Okay. So lets say that, suddenly, the World's musical tastes suddenly changed to the current "Christian" sound. Would you allow yourselves to listen to music that was "Rock" or "Metal", then? This is a serious question.

    Hey yall, I currently play a lot of bluegrass music. Some of it is gospel some of it is not. The stuff that is not is generally benign...talking about tractors, mountains, hogs...etc. This music does not explicitly glorify the Lord, but it talks about the human experience such as life, love, leaving home, etc. Is it bad that I play this music? Should I play nothing but Gospel? These are just subtle doubts in my mind....

    I was raised in the IFB movement during the 70s and stayed in during the 80s-2000. While I was in the IFB circles I heard preachers constantly preaching about the Rock and Country/Western music scene and how they were "sensual, devil inspired" types of music. Many had some great background on it, but yet I found that they were allowing some CCM into their services that had the same driving beats, slurred English (Slurring words to make them sound more 'Southern' in nature...example, Karen Carpenter), and swaying, montra type lyrics. It bothered me to some degree. I was very heavy into the Rock and Country scenes growing up, especially since my father owned part of a Weste…

    I like heavy rock. Is it a sin to listen to it? My favourite bands are Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath. I think all the devil worship stuff is just a gimmick. What do you think?
