How Christian
Contemporary Music Today is Bringing Teens Back to
Christ
Christian contemporary music today is embarking on a quest to
conquer the greatest challenge facing the world today-bringing
teens back to Christ and away from the draw of the secular
world. In a society where religion is no longer a fundamental
part of our schools and those who proclaim Christ’s name on
the streets are considered to be crazy it’s becoming harder
and harder for teens to turn their back on their friends and
peers and follow the path laid out for them by the Lord.
Christian contemporary music today is making great strides to
help close the divide between the church and its children and
bring teens back to Christ where they belong.
The problem that most teens encounter when it comes to
devoting themselves to Christ is that in the “real world” it’s
not considered “cool” to be a Christian. Teens who take part
in Prayer Around the Flag Pole before school, join a Bible
Club or stay home on a Friday night to go to youth group are
often scorned by their friends. For these young men and women,
whose self esteem is determined by the role they play in their
immediate circle of peers, this can be devastating.
Fortunately, Christian contemporary music today is once again
making Christianity the tone of the next
generation.

Christian contemporary music today faces tremendous
difficulties, going head to head with popular music lyrics
that tout the benefits of sex, drugs and rock and roll. That
doesn’t by any means mean that they’re fighting a losing
battle. Groups such as the Newsboys and singers like Amy Grant
have garnered a tremendous following among teenage society.
High schoolers walk down the halls of their school singing,
“Breakfast in Hell” at the top of their lungs without fear of
consequence, many of them unaware that they are slowly being
drawn into the world of Christian contemporary music today.
Before they know it they are attending concerts, going to
youth revivals and, eventually, getting down on their knees to
give their hearts to Christ.Christian contemporary music today
has bridged the divide between two generations of Christians
and brought God into the daily lives of teens all over the
world. Some of these selections at Christian
Book.com illustrate this
point.
There are many members of the church that criticize today’s
Christian contemporary music, claiming that it is only secular
music given religious lyrics to corrupt the youth of the
church even farther away from God. What is Christian music but
the music of the day given to praise God? When Thomas A.
Dorsey set Christian lyrics to jazz music many members of the
church were scandalized. The genre his work gave birth to laid
the foundations of what is now “traditional” gospel. So too
will the music made by the youth of today become the means of
spiritual expression for a new generation of Christians. More
than the message from the pulpit or the revivals on the
street, it is Christian contemporary music that will bring
teens back to Christ. Shop at GospelDirect.com for
