"We don’t need more self esteem programming with a little religious language."
The Danger in CCM and Familiy-Friendly Radio“If Contemporary Christian Music (CCM) is not telling these gospel truths, if instead it’s telling listeners that they’re “special” and everything’s going to be okay, but without saying anything about the incredibly high price God has paid to make them His own special possession, or what He’s done to conquer the power of sin and death, and what He will do in returning to free us from the very presence of sin and evil, then it’s not wholesome, positive, safe for the whole family, or helpful.”

[a commenter at that link]…I choose music for our band to lead with in corporate worship…songs that flow vertically, songs that sing to and about the characteristics, qualities, and majesty of God. Songs that magnify the name of Jesus. I have been criticized by some that have come through the band for choosing narrowly relative to song writers. The truth is there is a small universe of song writers that are writing songs of true praise and worship and doing it well.
