CPYUs Thoughts on MTVs VMAs

On August 31st, MTV hosted their 2006 VMAs (Video Music Awards). It is considered by many to be a good indicator of what is popular in pop culture or at least what Viacom (MTVs parent company) would like to be popular.

It is for a church in Granger, Indiana, but it's still nothing compared to 'MTV Land.' ...Today's top music styles don't sound much like the music styles I hear in churches." To preface my remarks, let me say that I am a major proponent of cutting edge, culturally relevant, excellent music in our churches. Furthermore, I lead a church that works hard at excellence in this area. So, my question is not meant to be antagonistic or anti-cutting edge ministry. Yet, as I read these comments, I was struck by the question: How do I/we know that unchurched people (generally speaking) want the same music/culture in church that they experience outside of church? Just something to ponder and pay attention to... "The treadmill performance may have been my favorite part of the show." Definitely a sweet and memorable routine. “I typically think our arts programming at Granger is very cutting edge.

If you couldn't understand the lyrics to most of the songs (or interpret the messages - which, btw, I doubt many were worth interpreting anyway) than why would we want to mimic that in our church? 2. What percentage of society does MTV really represent, esp. outside of the 13-23 demographic? There are still huge segments of people who like country music and don't do everything on video. The church needs to reach that group of 'culture' as well. Thoughts on your review -

I agree after watching it that the church is still WAY off in knowing our culture. It convicted me. And you are correct about Shakira, her hips don't lie for sure. :) Great thoughts.
