Contemporary Christian Music has impacted millions of listeners around the world for the last forty years. In the process, artists like Amy Grant, Michael W. Smith, Steven Curtis Chapman, Sandi Patty, The Imperials, Newsboys, Petra, 4Him, Point of Grace, Carman and countless others have become household names.
Their albums and songs define a new era of music we now call CCM. But that era actually began with another group of artists including Love Song, Larry Norman, Andrae Crouch, Keith Green, and Evie Tornquist who found their beginnings on the beaches of California and in churches across America.
CCM United was created to deliver the music, the ministry, and the life-changing message of many of the greatest CCM artists of today and yesterday to fans of CCM through live events, television programming, and audiovisual recordings (CDs and DVDs).
Stan Moser began his career in the Christian music industry as a part time employee at Word Records in Waco, Texas in early 1970. During the next twenty five years, his leadership roles at Word, Marantha! Music, and Star Song made him one of the key executives who helped launch a musical era that is still touching lives.
Stan and his wife, Sue, are the founders of CCM United. They live in Brentwood TN.
From it’s beginnings in 1975, Contemporary Christian Music has delivered hundreds of inspiring songs that have stood the test of time. Many of the artists and songwriters who led those formative years of CCM are still impacting audiences today while an entire generation of new CCM artists follows in their footsteps.
We Will Stand brings the songs of breakthrough recording artists together with today’s CCM top artists for an evening of hit songs and performances that have changed countless lives for four decades.
Register and watch tonight if you can!
Here are the artists involved:
Amy Grant - Tried her hand at Contemporary Pop Music, failed, then returned to Christian Music. NO in my house.
Sandy Patti - Divorced husband to marry drummer, claimed husband was not conducive to her spiritual growth or career, actually because of her infidelity to both her first and second husband. NO in my house.
Petra - Christian music as redefined into hard rock. NO in my house.
The Imperials - I would crawl on glass to hear the Imperials from the 70’s again. My children all know Sail On and It Won’t Be Ol Buddha by heart. That I cna get behind

No 3rd Day?
No servant of Jesus is going to be perfect. I for one hope I am not judged by my failures, but by my Saviour. I know God sees Christ instead of me. We are saved by grace, thank God.
Paul put it this way:
“And if by grace, then it is no longer by works; if it were, grace would no longer be grace.”
I am grateful these imperfect Christians, Amy Grant and Sandy Patti and Petra and the Imperials are willing to follow the Holy Spirit’s words, given through Peter:
“Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God’s grace in its various forms.”
I do not think that Amy Grant and Sandy Patti and Petra are using their “gifts” for the Lord; I think they are using them for themselves.
Their walk (lives) do not match their talk (songs).
Enjoying the music so far!
Ah. Unlike you. Perhaps instead of singing songs about Jesus, they ought to be singing songs about you.

Ah. Unlike you. Perhaps this Sunday, instead of worshiping Christ, I'll sing the praises of the perfect walk of wbarmy. His/her walk is wonderfully representative of his/her talk.
got grace?
Hope you'll think about it.
Bye.
Wow. Thanks for the personal attack.
I don’t put myself in front of crowds and make my coin on my appearance and talents in front of crowds.
So if the Preacher does a little on the side, no big deal, since his message is so good.
So what if the President cuts a few corners on the law, at least his words sound good.
I seem to think that if someone makes themselves a public representative of something, they might ought to be somewhat of a good representative.
