igr,
You have made some nice points that, although I may not necessarily agree with them, have shown you to be a man who is truly concerned with reaching the world with the gospel of Christ. For that, I praise God! You would agree, though, that not everyone who listens to your style of music is as "salvation-oriented" as you are, correct? There are plenty who are in it just for the "feel good" reason. Just as there are plenty who listen to more traditional music for the "holier that thou" reason - I pray that I am not one of those, and I hope I have not come off that way. I want you to know that I don't hold you or anyone else who listens to CCM in condemnation - that's not my place. I pray that the Lord will use you in your ministry. Thanks for engaging me in this discussion. See ya' around the forum!
