Good News Baptist Church is the type of church, we have been waiting to admit what we have been seeing today among the average church that welcomes hip hop gospel and christian rock is very wrong. Enforcing worldly ways for Jesus Christ to accept in God's House is nothing but blasphemy.
One of the positive things we noticed while watching certain shots at the Good News Baptist Church is this very fact, the young people seem so pure, which is different than most churches who are allowing them to become involved with what they call contemporary gospel: hip hop gospel and christian rock.

The nation's fifth-largest Protestant church, with nine satellite locations, runs several concurrent worship services Sunday mornings at its main site in Lake Forest, Calif., each with a different genre of music.
Muchow lists: a Gospel praise service; a "straight-ahead rock" called Overdrive; one called Fuel that's "geared to 20-somethings with more alternative...Read full article, here.
