Pandan mwen nan rout ap soti travay, lespri mwen ap imagine rezon kife gospel a rive lwen konsa. Se paske mwen menm ak W, nou pa pale sa nou santi-a. Nou we sa pa bon, nou pa di angnyin. Selon jan topic la ye, nou gentan santi ke gen yon bagay ki pa bon. se paske-l pa bon ki fe author poze kesyon sa.

This type of music is ok. men se pa tout moun ki qualifie pou chante style sa-a. By looking at those young singers, it bring terrify expression. If I come to close to those guys on stage, I will feel worry, If I don't know Christ, I might bring my gun for protection in case one of them decided to take it too far to the next level. I guess that's why people are against certain type of music. Because the person they know that hear or sing those, are known as
"gun-stars" aka (gangstars).

I want Gospel artists to get their own stylish way of praising. Copying from what you see on MTV, BET, or radio, t-vice, TV etc. will not convert anyone to Christ. You will have a lot of fanatics. Those fans only know about you. Yet they know not Christ.

Yes a lot of band and artists are looking for popularity for themselves but they don't focus on the real business which is giving Jesus to those who don't have Him. That's one of the reason why you'll see artists and bands such as Lochard Remy, Alabanza, Semence d'en Haut, Ebenezer, Villaire Pierre and many more makes it and they don't.

I Agree With Jn Michel. If you r not Doing it For God, you wont last Long.We need to pray for them So GOD can open their eyes. Phare Celeste is 16 years old. we r n just looking For Souls, but we want to make sure we save ours First. God Bless!!!

Not quite phareceleste. Micheal Jackson is still around and he was singing since he was a kid.

That's not what i a saying. If you are Really Doing For God You will last longer than if you r playing God Songs to please yourself.

everyone has a talent to share the gospel, now why all am I seing is singers. A couple groups go to visit churches for "Moisson" all they share is a song. The choir, youth, dammes, hommes, etc. Is singing is the best way to preach the gospel. Most of those artist that sing don't understand the sacrifice of the precious lamb of God.
If they had a clue, they will have sing and not asking to collect any money. They would have done like King David who went to Saul. David sang and chased evil spirit from king Saul. Even though the king took care of him in return. But I don't David had in mind to go sing for $$$$$. Jesus didn't tell the disciples to sing the Gospel.
SINGING IS NOT PREACHING.... believe or not. singing is a testimony. the book of Psaumes is a collecting of songs and poems. They have nothing to do with preaching the Gospel. So if you are an artist who thinks singing is a form of preaching. I challenge to read the gospel according ACTS OF THE DISCIPLES.
Juda betrayed Jesus with a kiss. Why are betraying Jesus with our our nice singing vocal. I personnally don't ever heard any body being converted because of somebody who sing the Gospel in their ears.

When it comes to the lyrics...the message is fine. As far as everthing else.. the way that it is presented is difinitely something we need to be cautious about. Be ye not unequally yoked. *PLEASE RESEARCH THE HISTORY AND ORIGIN OF HIP-HOP!!! Im not going to continue or reply to the above posts yet. I need to condence what I'm gonna post first.

I don't think the gospel has gone too far. I think people have ways of showing their skills. This I think of as a youth talent show. They enjoy themselves. I'm ok with that. I'm not against them. But, like I say, I never trust rappers. They are dangerous to society. They often protect themselves by carrying weapon, use profane languages, and fight in school. I know a couple youths that rap christian songs. none of those guy take church serious. People in general have gone too far from the gospel.

sevre gen anpil moun se talan chante yo genyen epi yo chwazi chante pou Bondye men yo pa janm pran levanjil la oh serye pou mwen menm yo al tro lwen.

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm m paka di anyen se je we bouch pe

Yes thats true nuber1fan. An example is those guys such as Omega, Revelation and Evangel. They take the gospel to a place where it never been before. Not just that they play in festivals where there are many unsaved people, putting the gospel in konpa make a lot of unsaved people listen to it. They are really taking gospel music further and that's the way it needs to be done.

we must not forget that gospel music is about THE WORD. if we concern ourselves with the people dancing then we miss the point. personaly i think we should be concerned if they heard and recieved the message of GOD. the crowd participation should be more virbale than dancing. the dancing is just a confirmation of contact it is not the contact. a smile might confirm happiness but not all people who smile are happy so we can't look to a smile for confirmation. in other words a gospel groups mission is to share the word not make the crowd dance. the dancing could be caused by the word of God like David danced.

Abomination, abomination, abomination. Gospel music has gone too far for those who are in the churches. They think they can give anything to God because they're not really true believers. The true believers know how to worship God. They humble themselves and come before GOD ALMIGHTY with no pride. The churches are under judgment, that's why they are experiencing all these craziness. Satan is in control of all the churches, and God is telling the true believers to get out of the churches and come to Him. Remember Mark13:14:But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains. (where it ought not, Judaea = the churches; the mountains = God). The true believers will never lose their savour. God bless you.

hey Gasparfrancois i like to know if u r a pastor,ya talking so strong

No Fritzlyne, I am not a pastor. Actually, that's the last thing i would like to be, especially in these last days. Judgment day for the whole world is very near, and according to the bible, it must start at the house of the Lord, which is in all the churches.1 peter 4:17:

For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? Right now the churches are very bad places for true believers to be. They need to get out and serve and do the work of the Lord outside of the churches. This is no joke, so do not waste your precious time in the church. I said precious because God is about to come very very soon...and Fritzlyne, I am just a servant of the Lord. God bless you.

gasparfrancois i understand your concern with the way churches and doctrines are going but to say not to go to church would be breaking the sabbath. i think that we should go to church complimentary with the Bible as opposed to supplementary. many of us just go to church and don't read the word to follow through on the teaching. the pastor job is to teach us what God said but he can be mislead and we shouldn't be depending on the pastor. we should hear his point and compare to be edified in the word of God. thats like going to school and not studying or reviewing the work done in class in other words we should do our homework. with so many people not reading the word and also to stop going to church, i think more people will be lost. at least with the church they have a reference to debate. remember the church was corrupt in the time Christ and he still went to church never did he say not to go to church. he says "do as they say not as they do". i would suggest to look for a church that has a doctrine that is Bible based and to know your church doctrine.
