Now it will spread this unscriptural philosophy of music far and wide through its students and the churches under its influence. First, CCM is sweeping into so many formerly strong Bible-believing churches because it is pervasive. Unless it is steadfastly resisted, it will be accepted. No church can be neutral in this battle. Even the strongest Bible-believing churches are continually tested in the area of music, and this battle is going to rage stronger as the return of Christ draws closer.
Church members encounter worldly music on Christian radio and television stations.
Further, in most Christian bookstores today one will not find music that is truly spiritual. Nothing truly spiritual and acceptable to the Lord can come out of such a compromised, worldly, unscriptural situation. Second, the new music is enjoyable. It is a great temptation because it is very satisfying to the flesh. This is why one can draw large crowds to attend church if a very rhythmic music is provided, but many of those same people will not come to a prayer meeting or to a preaching service which features traditional Christian music.
