I love the Isaacs. I really do. I probably have 10 of their CD's - including their current "Naturally" almost acapella one.

But I always wonder why many Christian/Gospel singers mingle with the modern Country singers so much. What is the attraction - money or fame? I know they are all "artists" and "performers" trying to make good music to entertain. It seems that stories like this somehow validates what Christians believe/what we are doing because one of our own has made the mainstream of society.

I know that Sonya is married to a country guy now. I'm sure he is a Christian and a great guy. I hope Sony and other Christian musicians use their God-given talent for his glory.

I also know that Nashville is one big musical family of some country, Christian, and other talents. I just don't know if all this is pleasing to the Lord.

You should do a search and listen to Josh Turner tell his testimony as to why he's doing country music. It airs on CMT or GAC sometimes. It's during an acoustic set. It really chokes him up.

To me it's not much different than a Christian not working at a Christian school as a teacher but as a teacher at a public school. It presents more witnessing opportunities.

Country and gospel music have been entwined for decades. And to suggest that a gospel artist must be separated from country or other music to be "true" is something I can't agree with at all. Christians singing to Christians doesn't help anyone else.

Just like in life, as long as a Christian does not compromise core Christian priciples and values, things like this are fine.

Where it becomes a problem is If it becomes a temptation to do things outside those core principles and beliefs and acting on those temptations, then it is not reaching someone who is not a Christian. That person just becomes like the world and can not set an example of Christ. "We are in this world but we are not to become like this world."

Christians singing to Christians (encouragement) is to be commended just as much as reaching out to those who are not Christians. Christian artists can not bring one lost person to a concert unless that person comes with them to an event. It is up to God and the Church to bring in the lost to hear the gospel. It is up to the artist to bring quality music that sends a clear message, just like pastors have to preach a clear and consice message. Are we to beat someone over the head with a bible. NO. Just a clear message and the Holy Spirit does the rest.
