What's wrong with CCM?

Simply, it's of the world. CCM does not exalt the Lord Jesus Christ. CCM exalts its 'performers.' CCM promotes the singer and the music, instead of God.


CCM is of the world which is why the world welcomes CCM. Ever notice how CCM is readily accepted by the ungodly? The lost world has never embraced or welcomed the Great Hymns of the Faith.

But they do accept CCM, whether it be "Christian" rock, or "Christian" hip-hop, or "Christian" Rhythm & Blues (R&B). And again, why? Well because CCM is of the world. That is why the world receives and loves CCM.

So called "Christian" rock exalts and elevates the flesh, and not the spirit. Another thing that's wrong with CCM is that CCM artists, a lot of them, sing and perform songs by secular rock groups. (i.e. The band Deliverance has on one of their albums a song ('After Forever') by the wicked and vile rock group Black Sabbath.; 2 Pound Planet sings Bohemian Rhapsody a song by secular group Queen;
DC Talk sings and performs All Apologies by the wicked and blasphemous artist Nirvana.



Furthermore, Rock groups and artists openly admit that their music is ungodly:

"Listen, rock ‘n roll AIN’T CHURCH. It’s nasty business. You gotta be nasty too. If you’re goody, goody, you can’t sing or play it..." (Lita Ford of heavy metal group The Runaways, Los Angeles Times, August 7, 1988).

With her quote, Lita Ford is basically also admitting to the fact that Christianity and Rock and Roll don't mix. You cannot mix them. Even other secular rock artists will admit that.


Newsweek once called Mick Jagger ‘the Lucifer of rock, the unholy roller’ and spoke of ‘his demonic power to affect people.’ (Newsweek, 4 Jan. 1971, quoted in Can we Rock the Gospel, Blanchard, p. 97)


John Lennon:
"I've sold my soul to the DEVIL." (Ray Coleman, Lennon, p.256)


David Bowie:
"Rock has always been THE DEVIL'S MUSIC. . ." (Rolling Stone, Feb. 12, 1976)





"... the whole idea of rock ‘n’ roll is to offend your parents"(Rock drummer King Coffey, The Truth about Rock, p. 30).



To conclude: There is nothing sacred or holy about rock music, whether it is CCM or Secular.

I generally dislike rock, R&B, and Hip Hop as a matter of taste; but a song like 'God is Not Dead' bu the Newsboys does not seem to fit your description.

I am not arguing your gereral premise just looking at possible exceptions.

Let me guess? You have not heard any of the evidence?

Well if you have not taken time to do research on this issue, then shame on you.


Proverbs 18:13King James Version (KJV)

Pride resides deep in the hearts of men.
It's not just in CCM that pride raises it's ugly head, even in preaching and teaching pride can swell.
I wouldn't say they are of the devil but pride is.
I remember the very early Jesus music 1971-73 singers were careful not to draw attention to themselves and always gave glory to God.
Yes a lot has gone the way of SELFIES.

Contemporary Christian Music? I got it, but forgive me. Since I constantly write and sing my own gospel songs around the house...I sing my own written lyrics more than radio. I'm sorry...oopsie on me :(

Doesn't sound very antichrist to me. We sing this one at church. In fact I lead worship last weekend and we did this song.

You call us out from the depths
Into Your freedom
Our chains are gone
No weapon formed shall prevail
Your word is stronger
We overcome

Your glory resounds through the age
All saints declaring
Your great renown
Your Kingdom forever will stand
We won't be shaken
We will not fear

Our God a mighty warrior
You're a consuming fire
In victory You reign
We triumph in Your name
Jesus the great commander
You conquered death forever
In victory You reign
We triumph in Your name

Your glory resounds through the age
All saints declaring
Your great renown
Your Kingdom forever will stand
We won't be shaken
We will not fear

Our God a mighty warrior
You're a consuming fire
In victory You reign
We triumph in Your name
Jesus the great commander
You conquered death forever
In victory You reign
We triumph in Your name

And we declare Your name is power
Exalted One no name is higher
You stand alone our strong defender
Above You there's no other, above You there's no other

And we declare Your name is power
Exalted One no name is higher
You stand alone our strong defender
Above You there's no other, above You there's no other
Above You there's no other, above You there's no other

Our God a mighty warrior
You're a consuming fire
In victory You reign
We triumph in Your name
Jesus the great commander
You conquered death forever
In victory You reign
We triumph in Your name

I'm not sure if I believe that Christian artists should perform concerts for money in churches.

I've volunteered and played ccm at my church for over 10 years. I paid to see Brandon Heath at a local church. Very life giving concert. Best 20 bucks I ever spent.

When jazz music was on the rise in the early 20th century it was popular opinion that it was the devils music.

I think the problem with CCM (as well as much preaching) is not the for hire aspect or it's lyrics (much has good lyrics) but rather much of it is done to draw attention to self and glorification of the entertainer rather than pointing to Christ. Obviously this isn't true in all cases but compared to the pre '74 music it is very prevalent.
But the god of CCM is antichrist? Negatory good buddy.

I can't say much for any corporations, but the theological depth in lyrics coming out of the Atlanta Christian music scene is far deeper and clearer than what I grew up singing in church.

I can't defend what I don't know, but from what I do know:
there is a great revival going on, and some people are missing out due to unspiritual judgement.

There are going to be some wolves in the fold, but don't chase out the sheep along with them.

not this junk again...there is always someone trying to use something to prove how 'holier-than-thou' they are. What a waste.
