Gospel Music today, Are we glorifying God, man or ourselves?

While getting dressed this morning for work. I was listening to a very popular african american gospel artist. He was singing a one of his hits and it suddenly dawned on me that there was no mention of God or Christ in his lyrics, it seems he was just singing the song to his wife, girlfriend or someone in his life who he couldn't have made it without them [I know someone might pick up on this].

And there are others like him, some sing make records singing love songs to their wives, girlfriends, fiancees and they are passed up as "gospel songs". You and I know we can fool ourselves but we can't fool God. You are either singing unto the Lord or singing to your significant other. I know when you sign unto a worldly record label, you are asked to remove any trace of God from your songs so you can reach more people but what I need you to ask yourself is this, "Why call it a gospel song" when the gospel is not preached or even acknowledged in the songs. Is that "man's spel" [my words] or wife's spel?. We need to heed the word of God that says "friendship with the world is enmity against God, Anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God" James 4:4.

There is another one who started well, singing about the love of God, the name of Jesus, the power in the name of Jesus, proclaiming the gospel and power of God who now is asking for help to believe, isn't that a contradiction? who were you believing when you were singing those songs, now he is singing songs that appeals to the carnal ears. God is saying to you, "Repent, see from where you have fallen and return to your first love".

I listen to Christian contemporary singers/musician and they have never failed to point out the finish work on the cross of calvary, the mercies of God, how He loved us and came to save us, His grace upon us but what do I hear from my "so called gospel singers these days is nothing short of glorifying themselves and not God in order to please man, remember God is watching and His reward is in His Hands. Go back to your first love!!!! The Spirit is calling you, are you going to listen and heed or continue in following  the wrong path. The time is short!!!!
