The use of CCM in IFB churches (whether in the CCM orignal format or a traditionalized rendition of it) has been thoroughly thrashed here. It is clear that most of us here are, generally speaking, against CCM to various degrees. I was reading more about the subject on David Cloud's site (via some of his RSS postings here) and one particular beef with it is the association(s) part of it (as has also been thoroughly debated on this forum). My intent is not to rehash either of those debates in this thread. Rather, I had a thought about the way CCM artists often take some of our more traditional hyms and put them to their version of music. If one of our beefs with us…

Words and music by hank williams sr. I wandered so aimless life filed with sin I wouldn't let my dear saviour in Then jesus came like a stranger in the night Praise the Lord I saw the light. Chorus I saw the light I saw the light No more darkness no more night Now I'm so happy no sorrow in sight Praise the Lord I saw the light. Just like a blind man I wandered along Worries and fears I claimed for my own Then like the blind man that God gave back his sight Praise the Lord I saw the light. Chorus I was a fool to wander and astray Straight is the gate and narrow the way Now I have traded the wrong for the right Praise the Lord I saw the light. …

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…

http://www.wayoflife.org/database/sacred_music_sources.html The philosophy of music is changing rapidly among fundamental Baptist and other fundamentalist churches. It is becoming popular to “adapt” contemporary praise songs by selecting ones with Scriptural lyrics and toning down the rhythm. This is being done by Majesty Music, Soundforth, Bob Jones University and its president Steve Pettit, and West Coast Baptist College, for example. They excuse the practice in various ways, such as likening the use of contemporary praise to the use of a Lutheran or Methodist hymn, but it is a different thing altogether. While I have never heard of a fundamental Baptist church becoming…

My family and I are on vacation in Wisconsin this week, and we found a really good Christian music station. From what we've heard so far, they play mostly Wilds/Northland/Soundforth/Majesty stuff. I heard a song last night that I believe is called "Woe Is Me," based on Isaiah 6. I've googled several combinations of the phrases, but nothing comes up. The chorus went something like this... Woe is me, woe is me, For I am a man undone, My voice can only praise thy name, And worship thy dear son. Woe is me, woe is me, My lips though unclean shall sing, Lord purge my sin, revive my heart, For mine eyes have seen the King. Has anyone heard of this song and know…

Should Christians listen to music loud? Do you think it could possibly harm their testimony? I listen to good solid Christian music loud, especially when I am driving. Sometimes it is to block the junk others are playing, other times it is merely loud because I am tired and sometimes depending on the song, (Morning trumpet is one) it sounds great loud. I am just wondering what others thought about this

How come we have no problem with most commercials that have drums but we cant have drums in the church? Praise Him with loud cymbals! Praise Him with clashing cymbals! Ps. 150 The only difference is in the type of noise - We are to make a "joyful" noise unto the Lord!

We just came off of a "navy" themed Vacation Bible School in which our youth pastor rewrote the words to the song " I'm in the Lords army" to fit a navy theme. Do any of you know of any more 'verses'? I remember hearing a space theme one time and wondered if their were any more..... I know about singing the original in diff. ways, like cowboy and Indian but are there other verses as well?

hey! k, this kinda came up in some of the other threads but i kinda wanted to see what your opinions are on contemporary music that is performed in church without the bass, drums, etc. I've noticed several fundamental Baptist churches that I've visited using contempory music but without the rhythm. While not necessarily wrong, is this a step in the wrong direction for IFB churches? While i don't mind original contemporary worship songs that were written by IFB people, it's kinda weird listening to music that started in New Evangelical and Pentacostal churches and were originally performed by artists in those churches even if it is minus the rhythm section. Should IFB chu…

Is anyone familiar with the Daybreak Quartet out of Georgia? I'm trying to decide where to serve this summer, and I have the option of helping out at some revival meetings where they will be providing the music. Are they good, conservative, singers? Or are they contemporary and ecumenical?

One of our church members attended a funeral service yesterday afternoon, they had the choir from our local Mennoite Chruch, they sang the song, "When We All Get To Heaven," but they sang, "When All The Saved Get To Heaven. I never really gave it no thought, but that song is not scriptural sang as written, unless only saved people are singing it. Had you ever given thought to this?

Music that pleases the flesh is ok . . . But what about other forms of entertainment? 1 2

Okay, let me start by saying that I do not listen to worldly music, nor do I approve of it (rock, soft rock, country, rap, hip-hop, r&b, etc). However, I won't lie, and I will admit that the whole "good music, bad music" really, really confuses me. And I have a hard time explaining my stance to friends and family, which leaves me feeling very silly. The only thing I can say for certain, is that "God gave me a conviction to stay away from that music." Which is a good reason!! But at the same time, how do you explain it to someone who doesn't understand? One arguement which I always seem to hear/read, is that worldly music pleases the flesh. It's all about the flesh. …

Can someone help me with the name of this Hymn/Song and the author? "I met Jesus at the crossroads, where the two ways meet. Satan, too, was standing there and he said, 'come this way... Lots and lots of pleasures I will give to you this day.' But I said, 'no, there's Jesus here. See what He offers me. Down here, my sins forgiven; up there a home in heaven. Praise God, that's the way for me' "

I think that a church ought to have traditional music . Yet I have been around others who say that a mix is fine so you can have the younger crowd involved. They also went on to say that at one time that the traditional was probably contemporary to some. I don't think so but I don't know how to say other wise. Any help?

I attended a funeral today of a young 16year old boy who died a day after he struck by a car on the 29th of November. Thank the Lord he got saved an baptized at our church about 2 years ago! Unfortunately my babysitter's daughter is in the hospital so I was without a sitter but was encouraged to come anyway... that lasted all of 15 minutes. Nonetheless the service was held at a contemporary Baptist church but our pastor officiated the ceremony (Thank the Lord for that as well). The piano player/singer for the church was also playing piano while everyone filtered in to the auditorium and opened the service by playing the piano and singing "I Can Only Imagine." Being a fune…

Yes, I love listening to Bruce. He brought real truth to what it means to be an actual Christian. I really appreciated how he pointed out Platonic and Socrates world views in Christian religion. He's a real life-giver.

What do sprinters eat before a race? Nothing. They fast. Did you hear about the alligator that became a private eye? It was an investigator.
