Contemporary Christian Music . . . What is it?

Mar 1, 1999

Has anyone ever asked you about CCM and you didn't know how to respond? Do you believe in your heart that it is what the Lord wants you to listen to, but others voice their opinion or dislike of it and perhaps took some scripture out of context to try to steer you to their side of the fence? Here is a Site that has a very rational and Christ like defense of ministry through modern Christian music. It also contains some fun satire, great testimonies, and links to many Christian music sites. Most of the following was from Atom Bigg's Site and used by permission on here to help shed some more light on Contemporary Christian Music....What is it?

What is Contemporary Christian Music?

Contemporary Christian Music refers to several styles of Christian music
that appeal to people who live in today's generation. Praise and Worship
music is written for use in church. Christian Adult Contemporary music is
written for inspiration and edification of Christian adults. Christian
Rock music is written primarily to inspire, encourage, and challenge
churched youth. Crossover music describes music written by Christian
musicians with the intent of receiving airplay on mainstream radio
stations. Crossover music may or may not always be intended to relay an
obvious Christian message but the lyrics are still consistent with a
Christian point of view.

Pop Christian Music? Should Christian Music be popular?

It is true that CCM is the fastest growing form of music in the country.
