    Why is CCM so bland and boring?

    To put it simply, CCM is not bland and boring. It's not "7 words repeated 11 times" I have been looking through many songs and artists and really thinking through what the lyrics mean. The result 1,310 songs so far from 40 artists. How can I find so much meaning and significance in this gift of...

    The new beliefs of Kevin Max (DC Talk)

    I wouldn't say the people of DC talk were a "gimmick." Tobymac and Michael Tait (current lead of Newsboys) are going very strong in their faith right now. Hearing this about Kevin's beliefs is disappointing, but God turns lives around.

    WHAT KIND OF CHRISTIAN MUSIC BLESSES YOUR HEART?

    I like a lot of stuff! Probably a mix of every genre in CCM. Pop, acoustic, Irish, a little bit of rap, light rock (Newsboys, Citizen Way), and Spanish.

    Secular Music

    @1ofthem Christian music is not just people who imitate secular music, stick the word God in their a few times, and call it Christian. A lot of it is truly freeing and encouraging. Since I started listening to Christian music regularly in 2020, my life has changed and I have been very...

    Can secular rock songs be used for evangelism if one changes the lyrics?

    Music is God's gift to us. It's not inherently good or evil. It is a tool for people to use either for good or for bad. As a huge fan of CCM (but not heavy rock), I think it's the lyrics that count. So, they I might not be a fan of heavy metal, someone who's lost might be. That lost person may...
