Christian Music Industry Part 3


I don’t understand why as an artist, you’d fill your webpage with pictures and merchandise and concert and event details, but you didn’t have a page that leads people toward growth. What happens after the music fades? Artists should be in that place where they care about making an impact and not just entertaining. One page, with your testimony or at least with a prayer for salvation and leading them to a place where they can correspond with someone (not necessarily you, maybe your church prayer line, or twitter feed or address) that will lead them to Christ, there are so many organizations that send people free publications like a new believer’s pamphlet, a download link, apps that help you find a Church near where they are.

I also don’t understand, (and this is like pointing the finger inwards at me, because the Church I attend is guilty of this) why, a worship leader would lead praise and worship with a re-mixed version of a Secular song, when there are SO many Christian songs in this world. I LOVE my Church, it’s one of the best things that has ever happened to me, and opened me up to a relationship with God rather than religion that I had trouble with. However, I personally don’t agree with that “take-back” thing.  I mean, I get the argument about reaching the un-churched or “taking back” the world for God, but do we have to do it using secular songs? It causes so much strife, that’s so unnecessary and there is more going against it, than going for it.
