Well said

You don't have to be a top 1% songwriter to write worship songs that glorify the Lord. Also, while some do have an issue with celebrity addiction, understand that if nobody wrote worship music, there would be no worship music. In fact, the BEST thing to combat worship leader celebrity addiction would be if MORE people wrote worship music. If people DON'T write worship music, it promotes the handful that do more.

@@Spladoinkal I understand what you're saying.. and what you're saying sounds like a great concept and idea. But, the reality is that worship music that gets popular is done so by design. Big money, big labels, big writers.. all having a connection with one another. Having original worship music, not from one of the top 10 worship artists, to get traction in our worship music culture today - is very difficult. Again, i wish what you were saying was the reality. My sentiment for my post and ask to CCLI, is asking what would be helpful, enriching, and empowering content that would support the common worship leader. I'm not sure writing original worship music is something that's on the majority of worship leader's minds for their church. Sure, writing songs can have a purposeful development for someone as a believer and worshiper - but I don't think that's what is purposefully helpful to the working class worship leader in America today.

CCM has become a business NOT a God glorifying ministry.

Same reason there are trends in every genre of music. Also, think of it this way: It's much easier to be creative when there are constraints. When there is already a framework for songwriting, it's easier for one to take that framework and make it their own. When there's NO framework, there are VERY few that will be able to come up with ideas. God gives each of us a kingdom. Some people's kingdom is to create brand new genres of music. Other people's kingdoms however may be to work within those genres already created. As with any music, the "Look" tends to follow the music. I'm more joyful of the privilege of being able to enjoy worship in this way than discovering new ways to worship and the majority of the congregation will feel the same, some even OPPOSED to new music.

Why not rejoicing that Christian songs are blooming, young writers love God, so all genres of music can be covered by worship#christian#evangelisation songs ! Our youth need to listen to that instead of Satanic songs proning violence etc ... Concerning addiction, that's another problem : I pray that they have the faith that Jesus can free them from any of them 'cause EVERYTHING can become an addiction right?

NO!!!! Do NOT use Christian music to learn the teachings of Christ! You will get a false, distorted picture. Today's song writers do not know theology. Songs are so man centered. Please, just read the Bible to find out about Christ and His Gospel.
