Thanks for sharing that, man. That's a very encouraging story.

Even though you said this wasn't the main point of your post, i'm still interested.

Could you explain to me why [you/your church's doctrine] [don't/doesn't] subscribe to CCM as a whole?

I've been to churches where they don't believe in singing hymns and their songs are just straight bible verses (mostly from psalms), so i'm interested in hearing what you have to say.

My main beef with a lot of gospel/CCM music is that the gospel isn't presented and a lot of the lyrics aren't biblical, but more so just spiritual and 'uplifting'. Though I have problems with some of the teachings in these songs I don't let that completely turn me off to the genre.

What an awesome encouragement! Just when you think we’ll forever be divided, the unity of Christ is magnified.

Wow! That IS cool, Jarod! Almost makes you think that "church" is a living thing, that the "assembling of the brethren" can happen over a phone line, that we ARE family in Christ. Serving Jesus is so grand!

that is really cool that YOU were gracious, and that SHE was gracious, even though you guys were coming from two totally different viewpoints about something. And it could have gotten really ugly, as usual, but it totally didn't and both of you were blessed because you really cared about each other in a fellowshippy, Christ-like kind of way. That's great. This is real. :) Thanks.
