1st Timothy 6:10, “For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.”
I have listed below hundreds of mainstream so-called “Christian” singers,
performers and bands. Unfortunately they all have something in COMMON, i.e.,
they all have something to sell. Every single one of them SELLS THEIR MUSIC.
This is not Biblical Christianity.
What do the following CCM [Contemporary Christian Music] singers and bands all have in COMMON? The answer is that they all SELL THEIR MUSIC. They are making money off the talent which God gave them. The Bible speaks about singing psalms and hymns in our hearts to the Lord. Ephesians 5:19, “Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord.” We learn an important Biblical principle from this Scripture:
We are to sing Psalms (Scriptures set to music) and hymns for our own edification, and make melody in our hearts TO THE LORD. There's no teaching in the Bible about selling anything in the ministry. Although they didn't have recording technologies back then during Bible times, still, none of Jesus' Apostles nor disciples were ever mentioned as having a musical ministry. They certainly wouldn't have sold their music.
The entire CCM industry is a big money-making machine, an apostate nightmare, an ecumenical vehicle which Satan is using to achieve a New World Order (which will be the Beast System of the coming Antichrist). I'm not against electric instruments nor drums. I am against the money-grabbing, greedy, controlled music industry that has strict guidelines for those artists who make it and those who don't. Basically anyone who is a genuine Bible-believing Christian won't make it, because that means preaching the Gospel on your website and taking a stand against the evil Catholic Church.
You probably don't realize it, but most of your favorite Contemporary Christian Music singers and bands are Catholics. If you don't have something negative to say about the Catholic Church, then you need to either get saved or get your heart right with God; because the Catholic religion is the biggest hellhole cult in the world, leading over one BILLION people into eternal damnation without Jesus Christ. All their good works and Sacramental Salvation won't save them. They go into their little telephone booths (confessional booths) and foolishly think some wicked priest whose saturated with sins himself, can forgive their sins. 1st Timothy 2:5, “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.”
Jesus is the only way to God the Father. John 14:6 makes this very clear. John 14:6, “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, BUT BY ME.” This means that the Blessed Virgin, Mother Mary, cannot help you in any way to communicate with God the Father. You either go through God the Son or else you go to Hell forever. That's what the Word of God teaches. John 5:39, “SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.” Notice that Jesus didn't say that the Scriptures testify of Mary. No, rather, Jesus said that the Scriptures testify of JESUS!!!

All of the singers and groups I just listed sell their music, as part of a corrupt and greedy industry that is part of the New World Order. NONE of these singer will dare speak out against the false prophet of Catholicism, the Pope, an evil man who knows not God. Catholics have religion without TRUTH. They have churchianity without Christianity. Pope Benedict XVI was one of Hitler's Youth and has called for a New World Order. In 2005, Benedict (Ratzinger) stated publicly that a person could go to Heaven, even if they have no Biblical faith. Whose kidding who here? Catholicism has been fabricating their own manmade TRADITIONS for centuries, which Jesus strongly condemned in Mark 7:6-13.
CCM performers are sell-out phonies who are only in the game for money. The proof is that not one of them clearly presents the Gospel on their websites. None of them speaks out against the false doctrine of Works Salvation. Jesus came to SAVE SINNERS, because we we unable to save ourselves. The Bible teaches in Isaiah 64:6 that even our very best self-righteousness is still filth to God, because breaking even one of God's commands makes us guilty of all (James 2:10). No amount of good can undo the bad. We need a Savior. We need HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS (Matthew 6:33; Romans 4:5-6; Romans 10:3-4; 2nd Corinthians 5:21), i.e., the imputed righteousness of Jesus Christ.
Your favorite CCM singer is masquerading as a Christian; but they are worldly, carnally-minded and so wishy-washy that even Mormons, Catholics and works based Seventh-Day Adventists listen to their music. CCM music is so close to the world's secular music that you can't tell the difference in many cases. And much of the lyrics to their music today are nothing more than repetitious chants like the Catholics use. They sing stuff like “praise His name,” or “Jesus is Lord” over, and over, and over and over; but God is not pleased with vain repetitions. The traditional hymns of the Christian faith had deep, Biblical and rich meaning to them; unlike today's trashy music that rambles on for ever repeating the same dead chants over and over, while women are swinging their hands in the air, dancing and acting goofy in church.
At all live concerts, the fans praise THE SINGERS, and not the Lord. The spotlights aren't shining on a Bible, they're shining on your paid idol singing on stage. I'm not trying to be mean nor unkind. All I'm saying is that Jesus wants us to be SOUL-SINNERS (Luke 8:15; Proverb 11:39; Psalm 126:5-6; 2nd Corinthians 5:10-11).
"That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness." —2nd Thessalonians 2:12
