Pulling The "GOD" Plug On Artists And Bands
Should WOW.FM play music only from artists who's lifestyles are lined up with God?If WOW.FM were to play only music from artists, both secular and Christian who's lifestyles only glorified God, then the music list would be a very short one. I know this is a touchy matter but personally I spent so many years in Christian radio, and seeing the lifestyles of many Christians really burned me out. I'm not saying that I'm any better than most people, because I'm not. Some days I feel like the Apostle Paul when he said that he was the Chief of Sinners! Hey that would make a great band name, any takers?
My friend who played with a huge CCM band for years got so burned out that to this date, doesn't see any difference between CCM and Billboard music, because it really is about money and screwed up lifestyles for so many artists that it's scary. He told me that he would see other Christian artists and band members smoking Marijuana right before going on stage to perform and minister Christ! That's why he said that only Worship music makes a difference in his life anymore, except even CCM has now made Worship music into it's own money maker format.
Regarding the Johnny Cash Booking photo: I loved Johnny Cash! I was very sad when he passed away because his music and even his faith later on had a big impact on me when I was very young. This booking photo from El Paso means a lot to me as well. My Dad was the arresting Agent for US Customs when Johnny was picked up at the El Paso airport with drugs stuffed up the neck his guitar. This arrest actually helped Johnny to start on the right track with his relationship with Christ. He sure had a tuff life like so many of us out here. Lord we need your strength, grace, and forgiveness!
Man, maybe we should just pull the plug on all artists both Christian and secular and go back to the good old days? (whatever that is!). We really do need the Cross!
