Hi!
It's great that Casting Crowns is on Carrie's playlist, but I also am not a fan of Carrie Underwood. It's not my place to judge whether or not Carrie is a Christian, in fact, it's not even my place to judge Carrie at all! But, in making a descision on whether or not I should listen to Carrie Underwood's music, I have to keep in mind what her motives are. When I look at ministries like Casting Crowns, I don't see a worldly spirit, and when I listen to their music, I don't hear worldly ideas being presented in Christian-compatible ways. I always hear a true Gospel message ring out from their music, a message that gives caution to those that are prideful, and a message that brings the grace and truth of Jesus Christ to the humble. I also see a message that comforts those in need, and brings peace to the broken hearted. When I look at people like Carrie Underwood, I don't really see that. What I see is confusion. Some Christian ideas, but then some utterly un-Christian ideas dressed up so that Christians will accept them. I'm not going to bash Carrie Underwood, she is a child of God just like I, and she makes mistakes just like I do, but I will say that she has seemed to stray. Her idea of the Gospel message seems confusing to me. It looks like she is really trying to sell out to everybody, (in my opinion) it seems as though she is willing to make comprimises to her faith so that she can produce a secular-type song and sell out. I don't appreciate the way she dresses, it seems to me that she is trying to bring attention to herself. I know that I sound like I'm coming down hard on her, but I'm not. I am not The Perfect Judge, and I don't have any buisness making judgement calls (especially since I'm only 16! LOL), but I DO need to decide whether or not Carrie Underwood will make it to MY iTunes album lists, and when I do so, I have to think about these things.(as expressed before) I do not feel it is OK for me to listen to her. Besides, who needs Carrie Underwood when they have Casting Crowns!!!!!
Cannot wait for that new album to hit the stores!!!
