Contemporary Christian Music . . . What is it?
Contemporary Christian Music (CCM), What is it? What is Pop Christian Music? Should Christian Music be popular? Isn't Contemporary Christian Music worldly? Aren't the lyrics of CCM generally shallow? What's the difference between Christian Rock Music and Secular Rock Music? But I can't even hear the words! If my teen listens to Christian Rock, won't he develop a taste for Secular Rock? Doesn't the beat of Christian Rock make young people want to sin? That kind of music really makes me feel uncomfortable. Doesn't the Bible condemn Rock Music? It is so loud, obnoxious, & abrasive.It really grates on my nerves! I'd just rather that my teens not know about Christian rock at all.
