Who wants to see a Worship Leader reach number one?

Tim Hughes...Ben Cantelon...Matt Redman...Chris Tomlin.





Where are the musicians that matter in our charts? Who else wants to see Tim Hughes or any of the others reach number one, or at least get in the charts in the first place! ???

Who wants to see a Worship Leader reach number one?
Do they play for Black Sabbath?
Reply:Man, if you gave me that list, I'd guess "football players".
Reply:No, not a worship leader-at least not if they are just doing worship music. Apart from the fact that 'worship music' shouldn't just be listened to, but experienced, it will make it difficult for them to keep their focus on god if they are bein raised up themselves.


I would far rather see some good christian artists being clear and open about their relationship with god and how it affects them and their music. Alice Cooper, Mary J. Blige, Natasha Bedingfield, and many others.
Reply:Well surely the Holy spirit is the worship leader. Why do men need to be raised to this position.
Reply:Me! It will encourage people to become christians because they will listen to christian music, and also christian music doesn't swear.
Reply:I would suggest Cliff Richard, but he isn't a worship leader- but it sounds ike a fantastic idea to get a worship leader in at number one, preaching the Gospel to the masses in a way they can truly understand. On the other hand, to have a praise song at number one is about as desireable as eating dog excrement from it's rectum
Reply:I Do!! I love Tim Hughes, Matt Redman and the such likes they are BRILL!!
Reply:Sorry.





Not I.
Reply:These guys have more talent in their pinkies than the crap that's topping the charts now. And a much better message.





So, yeah. Go for it. I'd put Casting Crowns (Mark Hall) in there.
Reply:Maybe they shouldn't make such sucky music then.
Reply:I know.....





I know.... You want so badly for some Christian artist to really, really shine, and rise to the top...





but...








But how many different ways are you going to rhyme, "Great I AM," "King of Kings," You are my Rock," and "I'll give you praise....all of my dayzzzz..."





Really... There's some amazing talent in the Christian World, but it's rare. I can instantly tell when I land on a Christian "Rock" station because it's when I have this deep spiritual need to change it as fast as I can.





There's a block that is inherent to Christians and creativity. It's limited. Just as the Christians very thoughts are limited, as they must guard their thoughts and keep them "Christ-like"





Like it or not, this will forever be the proverbial glass ceiling for the Christian who has illusions of grandeur concerning fame.
