There is some great gospel music out there but it's a shame that such a well known group isn't faithfully displaying the gospel when they have such a large platform. Hope their next effort is more sound. Sad, isn't?

Many contemporary "gospel" artists, in addition to reminding me of ice cream, remind me of honey: <i>For the lips of a forbidden woman drip honey, and her speech is smoother than oil, but in the end she is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword.</i> (Proverbs 5:3-4 ESV) I'm not suggesting that many female contemporary "gospel" artists are adulterous women. What I am saying is (1) often find their lyrics sound like love songs attempting to seduce "god" or a man; (2) many times their clothing and behavior is quite sexually charged and doesn't match their stated message. Good analysis.
