Perhaps if he was in the right church he'd not feel this way.
Praying.
You are correct. I was saved at the tender age of 9.All of my friends were Christians, but the world and the things of the world was very seductive. All of us backslid.But Lord Jesus continue his Love for us. I was young and stupid, and did not understand the love of God. But my elders continued to pray for me and eventually I found my way home. I strayed but Jesus found me and brought me back to the fold. Praise God!. You would not think I got envovled in some of the things I did. I was truly the prodigal. That is why I said he will be back.We need to keep him wraped in prayer asking our Father to rescue him.This was the first thing that came into my head,
1 Tim. 3:6
Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil.

I know it's 20, but he was raised in the Church and helped along because of that, I feel there might have been to much emphasis placed upon his Music, and not enough on his understanding as a Christian, and it got the better of him.
I have seen on TV for years, 10 - 11 year old's singing Love songs they have no clue as to what they are saying expressing, it just sounds phenomenal for them to be doing it.
Same thing, he was singing about something he would read about but had no depth of understanding, even though it may have moved may Christians, my self included, when he first came out.
I'm not a CCM fan, so I'm not familiar with his work. Did he write any songs that even begin to deal with the issues he's talking about? And where did he attend church?

Matt. 18: 11 For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost.
12 How think ye? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains, and seeketh that which is gone astray?
13 And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth more of that sheep, than of the ninety and nine which went not astray.
14 Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish

Bethel does a lot of things that don't agree with scripture. I hope he is led to try a different place of worship.
- Oh he will be back. Lord Jesus is The Good Shepherd .
