It's going to die if they don't change. <BR/><BR/>A friend of mine did the whole Nashville scene and was around a lot of great songwriters and musicians. He expressed some distaste in the "worship music industry" because the worship music companies are not wanting songs that teach doctrines, they want songs that can be sung by any denomination because more churches can sing it which means they make more money. Even though God's judgment and wrath are mentioned more times in the Bible than God's love, then tend to censor the attributes of God that are less friendly. <BR/><BR/>I think the changes that CCM needs to make are too risky for them to actually do it. Like Charlie said, CCM as we know it will die. However, I think CCM will still be around but in the indie realm, and we see people like Derek Webb that are doing a great job at it too. I think churches like Mars Hill (in Seattle) and Sojourn (in TN) will be the types of churches that shape the American Churches rather than the Worship Record Labels, frankly because the upcoming generation wants to know God in His entirety rather than a censored "seeker-friendly" version that is only a half truth.Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10460763414885714625noreply@blogger.com
