Comments on: All Star Concert Hopes To Save The GMA http://www.musicrow.com/2009/09/all-star-concert-hopes-to-save-the-gma/ Nashville's Music Industry Publication Tue, 16 Mar 2010 13:15:13 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Bob Smith http://www.musicrow.com/2009/09/all-star-concert-hopes-to-save-the-gma/comment-page-1/#comment-7292 Bob Smith Fri, 09 Oct 2009 14:25:09 +0000 http://www.musicrow.com/?p=20315#comment-7292 Nothing wrong with fundraising for a good cause. But I would like to challenge GMA to rethink their mission. Is the Christian music industry really reaching the world, or is it an ingrown organization operating under the same principles as the world? Is it ministry oriented, outreach oriented, or is it purely business driven? I love Christian organizations, want every one of them with a heart for God to thrive, and hope that GMA thrives even more. But it's time to reflect on and challenge ourselves with what God wants for both GMA and for Christian artists, as they reach out to shine, not like stars the world idolizes, but like stars in the universe.

I love Christian organizations, want every one of them with a heart for God to thrive, and hope that GMA thrives even more. But it’s time to reflect on and challenge ourselves with what God wants for both GMA and for Christian artists, as they reach out to shine, not like stars the world idolizes, but like stars in the universe.

This is exactly the kind of program GPP helps keep alive with our wind farms - tell Amy to write and bang on our email - and lets keep these programs going.
