Regarding various flavors of Christian music and the roots it is
derived from and the secular styles it is based on, I must quote Duke
Ellington: "There areonly two kinds of music: good and bad."  He said
this when someone asked him to define jazz.  The same may be said for
gospel, with the caveat that gospel music needs words to convey the
gospel message, and those words must *OPENLY* glorify Jesus.  Too much
contemporary gospel music makes only veiled references to Jesus, and
could easily be turned into a secular boy/girl love song with very
little editing.
