As a Christian songwriter, I want to write about issues that the church needs to address. What are subjects, relevant to our times that seem to have been ignored? So far, I have considered writing about homosexuality, death, sadness and loneliness. There must be many more issues. Feel free to suggest other important topics. Serious answers only, please. Thank you.

Religion is the realm of man. All womens issues have been totally ignored. There are a lot of unresolved womans issues, we have kept our mouths shut in the past - but I don't buy it anymore.

that if you were to die today, would you go to Heaven?
So many people would answer in so many different ways.
Those answers could be what you write your song about.
Why people are so scared to believe in something that is actually good.

We need to live showing the fruit of the Spirit. Songs that bear wittness to these things would help us overcome the things you listed.
Galatians 5:22-23 But the Spirit produces love, joy, peace,
patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, humility, and
self-control. There is no law against such things as these.
1st Timothy 6:11 But you, man of God, avoid all these things.
Strive for righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance,
and gentleness.
2nd Peter 1:5-8 For this very reason do your best to add
goodness to your faith; to your goodness add knowledge;
to your knowledge add self-control; to your self-control
add endurance; to your endurance (patience) add
godliness; to your godliness add Christian affection; and to
your Christian affection add love. These are the qualities you
need, and if you have them in abundance, they will make
you active and effective in your knowledge of our Lord
Jesus Christ.
Philippians 2:3-8 Don't do anything from selfish ambition
or from a cheap desire to boast, but be humble toward one
another, always considering others better than yourselves.
And look out for one another's interests, not just for your
own. The attitude you should have is the one that Christ
Jesus had: He was humble and walked the path of
obedience all the way to death--- His death on the cross.
John 15:17 This, then, is what I command you: love one
another.
1st Corinthians 13:3 I may give away everything I have, and
even give up my body to be burned ---but if I have no love,
this does me no good.
1st Corinthians 13:4-8A Love is patient and kind; it is
not jealous or conceited or proud; love is not ill-mannered
or selfish or irritable; love does not keep a record of wrongs;
love is not happy with evil, but is happy with the truth.
Love never gives up (it endures all things); and its faith,
hope, and patience never fail. Love is eternal.
1st Corinthians 13:13 Meanwhile these three remain:
faith, hope, and love; and THE GREATEST OF THESE IS LOVE.
All other things fall by the wayside in the light of applying these attributes.
When we apply these to our lives - the light of Christ can be seen, and He is lifted up - bringing all mankind unto Himself.
John 15:7-12 If you remain in me and my words remain in you, then you will ask for anything you wish, and you shall have it. My Father's glory is shown by your bearing much fruit; and in this way you become my disciples. I love you just as the Father loves me; remain in my love. If you obey my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have obeyed my Father's commands and remain in his love. I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. My commandment is this: love one another, just as I love you.
Peace.
