The Dark World Of Modern Christian Music

"For men shall be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, ... ." (2 Timothy 3:2)

The minute gospel groups and solo singers signed on to major labels for promotions and advances, everything changed.

It's no longer about CHRISTianity. It's CHURCHanity, which is where all this foolishness stems from!

[etolerific]

Gospel Music is a genre of music and a business, it can’t save you, only Christ . It’s just music. Let’s keep our focus on Christ. You don’t have to listen to it. You have a choice.

🙋🏾‍♂️ When I was in the US Army, I asked a fellow soldier who was Public Affairs why they don't get gospel singers? He told me they want to get paid, they tell dirty jokes, and plenty of them are NON BELIEVERS! This was back in 2005 he told me this. Man was he right!

Anyone who's made a million dollars spreading the 'word' is someone to be careful of.

We went from shepherding the sheep to entertaining the goats 😊

“The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. NKJV: Some "Christians" no longer fear God.

[emmanuel]

It's not a religion it's a relationship with Jesus Christ God bless you all we most be born again

Here’s a thought. All of entertainment is corrupt.

Kanye West is clearly no Christian or holy Spirit filled.

Gosple have become a money making thing. I visited a church and they collect offering 3 TIMES. The second time the so call pastor told the people how much thousands to put in the basket. I was shock. I sat in the church and i felt lost. The pastor said jump they jump is like they worshiping the pastor...

It’s entertainment. They are hirelings. It’s why their (women mostly) album covers have also gotten more seductive. Sex sells. They (at the command of those who hired them) will do whatever it takes for a dollar. They’re no different from their secular counterparts.

I just wanted to share a different perspective on the topic of charging for gospel music works and performances. It's actually quite interesting to consider whether it aligns with biblical principles. In the Bible, there is a verse that hard work should be rewarded in 1 Timothy 5:18 "The laborer deserves his wages."

That implies that they who put in a lot of effort, time, energy and skill into their work should be compensated. Gospel artist have a talent, like any other professionals, and dedicate a significant amount of time and resources to their craft. Charging for their music and performances can help support their livelihood and continue their ministry. I have personally been very touched by some of the songs Kirk has produced. His first 3 albums have ministered to me during some dark times. Music moves the soul— this we know! ❤

At the same time, I think it IS important for gospel artists to approach their work with humility and a focus on serving God rather than solely focusing on making money. Finding a balance between meeting financial needs and spreading their message, which is the gospel 🙂

They preach the same thing in the pulpit as they do in the rap songs. Its all prosperity preaching and glorifying material possessions. God's people need to return to him. Time is running out

[AJWilson-ly]

Reminds me of the book of Jeremiah. How people are serving other gods. And it even talks about how pastors and priests are misleading the People.

[malikbeyard]

Real Gospel Music hasn’t been the same since the early 1980’s. Once the 1990’s came around, the quality of gospel music died.

[ghvstraid]

it is so disrespectful to lost people who are desperately trying to find hope in their lives and someone to look up to for these artists to take advantage and mislead them

[CrazyWayz]

I read my Bible and listen to gospel.. I do my best not to fall into anything anymore. Let go and let God.. we don’t have to be a part of it. God bless us all and bless the Lord!

Remember, lucifer was the angel of music
