I don't like it, but that doesn't mean that other people aren't spiritually moved by it. Many of the artists and fans feel that they're truly worshiping God through that music, and that's what matters. Personally, I prefer classical church music and the old time-honored hymns, but that's just me.

What message is being relayed to the heart of the listener?
The real problem is that these artists who are into making money for their projects more than glorifying Christ are sending their own message.
I will add that Christian artists are not leading the way, most are following the world's system. The hair style, clothes, music, they imitate the world instead of showing the world that God's message does not change.

I think the songs that are glorifying to God are songs that are focused on Him. For example like My God is an Awesome God or something of that nature. Lifting Him up as high as we can. It really doesn't matter what tunes or styles we do it in as long as we do it to and for Him. We worship with our hearts more than our abilities. What if you are deaf and can't speak, would you still be able to worship God with a song? In your heart , right?

No, I am not so sure it does! Let me explain. Once we take the old fashioned gospel music and conform it to sound Rock, Rap, Country, etc. we have taken the hymns of all times and made them sound like worldly music. I am of the persuasion there need to be a difference. take for example: a hard/acid rock group stoned out of their mind's singing any hymn, no matter how well done, cannot possible glorify God. God does not hear anything from the drug addict except there humble cry for help, repentance, etc., according to His Word

I'm sure this will get me loads of thumbs down, but I just don't like it. It has no substance to it. To me Handel, Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, etc glorify God. The contemporary Christian music is just very simplistic.

i have some concerns about it too. i suppose it's what's already in you, the christian, whether you're glorifying God when you sing it. We don't know someone else's heart, but it sure doesn't have the same effect as gospel.

Yes,in my opinion it is.If you listen to the words and not the beat of the music it is glorifying and uplifting.Praise God.

It is still worship--whether its Michael W. Smith or Skillet--in God's eyes they are using their gifts and talents that He gave them. They are contributing to the kingdom and through that thousands of lives have been saved. When you go to a concert--you need to judge your own heart--are you there to worship the Father through the type of music you like or are you there to worship the man on stage putting on a show?

YES.If the music is talking about god and how good he is then I don't see how it couldn't be. I'm pretty sure that the beat, tempo, and melody are irrelevant to him. As long as the music is spreading the gospel then it's okay with me.

yes some really do. you can tell in the way they talk. If someone refers to the people at their concerts as fans, I think they missed the point. Hill Song is a great case for those who truly honor God.
