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.
Christian Artists that need to call it a day.

I am a musician. I've been a musician for 15+ years. And I can tell you this: Listen to the radio. Some of those bands 'ability' isn't worth the dump my baby boy took in his diaper when he was little. I GUARANTEE you, there are bands out there that are unsigned that are 1000 times better than some of the tripe that permeates our airwaves and bookstore shelves. Just because it's got a good message, doesn't mean it's good music.

I haven't gone back through each post, but has anyone made the point that many feel music was never meant as an evangelistic tool in the first place? Not saying that I necessarily follow that school of thought, but there seems to be a lot of pride and opinion driving this discussion, and no real substance.

What did God say in His Word?...Touch not My anointed and do them harm....Watch what you say in the little-est! Proverbs 18:21(Remember the Death and Life thing?) Words that go into the air the enemy seizes it. Lift these song-writers and groups up to the Lord. You never know, they may be on their faces right now crying to God, and God "SUDDENLY" gives them a hit record, and another one, and another one, that will blow everyone away..Hmmmm. We shouldn't be so critical.

Sounds like that means it's about the money then, if we're talking about a 'hit record'. But also, by your reasoning, magazines and online music sites should never do cd reviews, because heaven forbid someone have something negative to say about a 'Christian' cd release. I mean, we wouldn't want to actually criticize an artist or band now, would we??

If I started, I would still be typing in 4 hours. Let's just say if it's sold under "Contemporary" in Christian bookstores, it belongs on the list.

Wow. I can't believe all of the negativity on this thread.
The scriptures say that we as Christians are to hold each other accountable as members of the body. But we are to do so in love. We are to teach and rebuke each other with the Word, not belittle, criticize and condemn.
On topic: I know it's a business, but don't forget the fact that it is also ministry. We are called to use our gifts to lead others to the Lord and to help our brothers and sisters grow in Christ. The Bible doesn't say to be a fisher of men until someone younger or fresher comes along. We are to strive for Him as long and as hard as we can with all that we have.
Now relax and enjoy God's blessings!

Just to be clear, I'm not condemning or criticizing another person here, I'm only pointing out the non-rockedness of a stinky power pop CCM band. There is a difference.

Absolutely. Right on! I don't understand why so many people get their panties in a wad when someone opines that a particular CCM band is bad, or should call it a day.
Speaking from a subjective, musical-quality standpoint has nothing to do with whether anyone is doubting or attacking the "ministry" of any of the CCM bands mentioned so far in this thread.
Why is this so difficult to grasp?!?!?

Just to be clear, my "panties aren't in a wad" (if they were I'd use this: ) and I didn't single anyone out. I stated my opinion, as others have stated theirs.
I'm all for bands playing into their 90s, as long as they touch hearts. I'm an avid believer in changing the station. If you don't like it, don't buy it, don't play it.
I reiterate:
We are to strive for Him as long and as hard as we can with all that we have.
By that, I mean that as long as a band or artist hears the call to do the Lord's work, they should keep going.

Isn't that an issue for the radio stations, not the artists? Perhaps the question shouldn't be "Which artists should go out to pasture?" but "Which radio stations should change their lineup?"
How much does public opinion/feedback impact a Christian radio station? Is the programming entirely up to promotors?
