Problems with CCM
There's an old contemporary Christian music artist, Steve Camp, who had enough of the CCM industry, and he mimicked Martin Luther and posted 107 Theses on the door of the CCM establishment, and took a lot of flack for it.
It's interesting, because just a few days ago I posted on how I'm pro-love song. Camp is on the other side of that, pushing for Christian artists to sing only strictly "Christian" songs. It's all about motivation, which makes it hard to look at specific groups and judge them. If you're singing love songs because it'll get you played on secular radio and line your pockets, you've got a problem, but if you're making music--art--from a Christian worldview and you celebrate elements of the human experience that aren't framed in "Christian" language, I don't think you have a problem.
