Here's an example of how some of the mainstream feels about Christians . . . At the annual MTV Music Video awards this year Marilyn Manson performed their canned "I hate" Christians act. The above was found at The weekly article about Indie/Alternative Music on 9-15-97.
On the Mainstream side a few CCM Artists such as, Amy Grant, Michael W. Smith, Jars of Clay, DC Talk, Bob Carlisle, Newsboys and others have earned wide respect and have had some of their stuff played on Top 40 and other radio stations.
On the Christian side of the fence it would seem like the body of Christ would support the spreading of the gospel through CCM. You might say "My Church supports it and the Youth Group goes to all the concerts." You may have seen many a young person give his life to the Lord as a result of a Christian rock concert or similar event. Still, there are Churches and religious organizations that think CCM is of the devil, despite the Christian message and the good fruit. CCM to them is just as bad as the Satanist bands that invite kids to sell their souls and dedicate their lives to Satan. Here's a few scriptures that support CCM . . .
Matt 7:20: Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
