I'd guess that K-Love and Salem are looking for Christian Lyrics rather than innovative music styles...

I have to try and balance my cynicism of the industry against my personal preferences in music for this discussion.

The major christian satelite networks, the major christian distributors, and even the major christian bookstore chains are looking for a "safe" business model. Many of them are not owned by christians at all. You are viewed by them as merely sheep who buy their product. I'm sure they appreciate you enough to find sincere christian bands they can market/promote, but most of them aren't doing it "for the Lord". Integrity is the only christian-owned major distributor anymore.

I have a lot more respect for the worship radio stations or even the christian talk radio who take risk in following the Holy Spirit every day but these satelite networks? Well...it's not about that.

I hear U2 alot on one of my local rock stations...I really like those guys...besides they're old guys like me. :noidea:

I was saved while listening to "one tree hill" off the jushua tree album, so yea, I'm an old guy that has followed them since their 1st album. Once I got saved, I started understanding the lyrics a lot better though....LOL

Yod, I appreciate your candor and hopefully you didn't feel like I didn't respect your opinion. Your personal music tastes are yours and I don't want to try and change that. I happen to enjoy CCM (as do millions of others) as well as many more genres of music. Thanks.

Thank you for your kindness and grace. I'm just ornery about the topic of music..and overly opinionated at all times. :beehive:

I just drove for 32 hours. I listened to christian talk radio every time I could find it. I listened to preachers for about 4 hours of that. And I listened to CCM radio about 30 minutes before it just bored me.

If they only played Texans, I'd probably love it.

Me too!

Christian talk radio? I'd definatley be interested in that. I doubt it's in my area, though.

I find that much of the church these days tries to copy the world... and we are not very good at it, including in our music.

I still enjoy listning to Keith Green (late 70's early 80's... :cool: ) and 'Sons of Korah' who sing the psalms here in Australia.

A lot of the Christian music around here seems to be all about feelings. We all have them but it seems a bit insignificant when we have an awesome God to worship and praise. We're going to be doing it for all eternity and it's a blessing to be able to start right now on earth! :)

Love

Your sister in Christ

I agree with Yod about radio stations...they are trying to make money and they target the best demographic to do just that. Unfortunately, i am not part of that demographic.

I disagree with Yod about Christian music in general. I am a BIG fan of several Christian bands. My most favoritists band is Family Force Five. Look 'em up. Now they are a bit rowdy and fun...not your typical mature U2 style ...but they are totally original in Christian Music. I am also a BIG Toby Mac fan.

Oh...and Yod...totally agree about the Eddy Vedder clones. Its an automatic "NO" if I hear that voice...lol

    • Exhortation - October 24, 2024

      Albert Finch posted a blog entry in Albert Finch Ministry,

      You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • The Simchat Torah War -- Is this a Water Breaking Moment of Revival?

      George posted a topic in Biblical Topic Videos,

      George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      George posted a topic in Study Group,

      Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2

      George posted a topic in Study Group,

      Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
