Are you talking about something like this........your thoughts

I'm talking about Crowder's partnering with a worldly, demonic outfit like Universal Music Group, no more no less. Anything he might have to say has zero credibility with me because he's been compromised from the get-go.

hi friend I understand what your saying about this,
Are the Christian bands or some Christian bands actually getting recording contracts with theese promoters ?.

Is a lot of it down to the amount of views a singer might get on YouTube before a promoter offers them a new song ?

I have seen some auto biographies on some Christians singers saying they struggle to maintain a singing career because the promoters or advertisers adding adds on there YouTube channel can be limited.

I think of other singers like Witney Houston who if it wasn't for promoters we would never have had such a blessed singer move a whole world with her songs.

Whitney would also only try to choose songs that was most pleasing to God if she could, but obviously with promoters once under a contract, this could be difficult,

I know some promoters will promote labels depending on the amount of views on YouTube or a potential artist skills.

Just a pause for thought but if a song that sings about God can reach the whole world by somebody drenched in sin like a dodgy promoter , is there not still a chance such person could possibly change ?. A song can draw a person to God. But if that song is not reaching a wider audience there's less chance of that.

I would imagine some Christian singers would refuse some promoters, but possibly some would allow for there past history to, with a thought possibly they want to promote good stuff rather than gangster labels and maybe there thinking let's give them a chance ?..

When we think of the movie Gangsters paradise there isn't anyone to reach them until something good comes along.

The version of Christianity and the Jesus promoted by CCM is distorted. Yes, someone might hear a song by a CCM artist which will inspire them or lead them to Jesus. The problem is the Jesus these artists are promoting is compromised. They're compromised themselves so they invent a Jesus who tells them it's okay to be compromised. I understand what I'm saying is unpopular; and it doesn't surprise me at all when people look for any rationalization they can find to keep holding on to their favorite CCM idols.

yes there are some possibly would do that, it's not unpopular to me, a lot of songs are probably wrote by satan even Christian songs.

I can't remember the songs right now but I have had to turn them of.
Some lyrics I would question to, it's kinda like the my God knows best mentality, or even Satan whispering in there ear, giving them the lyrics.

I remember one Christian song had the all seeing eye as a highlight of worship in there video

I've looked into this further, it's seems that sometimes after a christian has wrote a song, a recording artist will approach them to buy the rhythm of the song and not the lyrics, because of the copyright involved they have to signs a contract etc. To make some money to just sell the rhythm.

I am sorry to see you are gone... .:cry:
I just took time to read a couple rebuttals to this well meaning guest's OP and they were brutal and pompous.
1 Cor 13:1-2 ' If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. [2] And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing'.

4 Churches here in Yuma AZ, led by a Youth Pastor from the Church I attend, Got over 100 kids saved 2 weeks ago during a week long Youth event. This Church has been Baptizing Kids almost every Sunday for the past year. These kids are bringing their Families to Christ. The Rival happening among Teens here is growing and shows no signs of slowing down. It is spreading to other age groups. Older Elders didn't like it. God stepped in made some very sick recently. I see repentance inside the Church. Its Blowing my Mind. Witness. share the Gospel. This city was Spiritual Dry for 30 plus years. Its beginning to Rain Hard here.
