  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

    Negative and unbiblical lyrics in modern worship led me to write my own songs

    I'm not here to bash other music. But I've heard enough modern worship songs to know there is a problem. I'm not claiming to have the ultimate solution, but I know if I keep writing I will continue to get better and to capture the essence of worship I remember from songs in my childhood in the...

    What do you think of AI generated music?

    Artificial Intelligence is now being used to generate music. Some see this as a good thing, others see it as very negative. What do you think? I recently was trying out Udio. The first time I tried a song I've written called "Let There Be Light." What it came up with was... strange. Then I...

    Advice for Aspiring Christian Musicians

    10 Things I've learned over the years writing Christian music: 1. Get over yourself and into them. It's not about you. If you are desiring the spotlight, the fame and glory, then I got a suggestion: don't write Christian music... or not Christian music with deep and convicting lyrics, because...

    How do praise and worship teams work in megachurches?

    My church is mid-sized, with about 200 people (pre-COVID, no one's there now), and we have a praise team with 7 singers (including myself, and I'm our keyboard player). I was wondering since a lot of megachurches also have praise teams that stay around 8-12 people each Sunday, how do they...

    Powerpoint Question

    I think I read that in Powerpoint it is possible to attach an audio file to a slide. I don't currently have this program, but the answer to this question may help determine how soon I need to get it. Has anybody tried this out in a worship setting? ie attaching a music file to a slide. Will...

    Matter of America

    I work for God and do a lot with music. One day, God gave me the idea for "Matter of America." I had been doing a variety of things for God one day, and someone was asking for a playlist of music on /r/christianmusic on reddit. I had been looking for themes of Fire and Fortitude. Through...

    Writing Christian Music

    Hello all! I'm new to this forum and I'm hoping I can find an answer to my question. I'm a musician and I'm working on writing songs. The thing is that they are not necessarily 'Christian' or 'religious' songs. Some of them do have hidden meanings in them concerning my faith, but they don't...

    I arranged a solo guitar version of Amazing Grace for my church, I hope it lifts you up!

    I play piano and guitar at a small Southern Baptist church in Fairdale, KY called Cove Baptist. Stylistically the arrangement blends old-time and country with Appalachian music that can be found in the rural south USA. My hope is the music gives you peace during your devotional. God Bless

    Christian Music (and Skillet) - Compromised theology?

    I just wrote an article about Christian music, highlighting the band Skillet - who has been around a long time - and to me, doesn't represent true Christianity. I listen to Christian radio and hear a lot of catchy music with wrong messages that I just could not take it any longer. I think this...

    youtube downloads with a CCLI license

    Hi, I am new to having 'responsibility' for praise and worship at my congregation. We have a CCLI license, but it is taking me some time to actually get the info for it because it seems we don't usually use it directly, but for legal copyright protection I guess, and we are under a multi-site...

    I don't know where to start

    Side note: This is a little more of a "hey whats the next step," than it is an "oh dang it, my first thread out in the open failed." I reread it and noticed the angle I wrote it was more of a blog post. I think it was also due to the type of music and culture I was bringing up. EDM and disco in...
