Wife of star Michael W Smith in hard hitting article
DEBBY SMITH, wife of
CCM star Michael W Smith, wrote a hard-hitting editorial about the
nationally televised Grammy Awards recently for American trade
magazine CCM Update. Writing about the contradictions between Alanis
Morisette singing about oral sex and using the F-word, with the
audience applauding each profanity, and CeCe Winans singing "I
Surrender All" and witnessing openly in her acceptance speech for the
'Best Contemporary Soul Gospel Album' Grammy about her faith in Jesus,
Debby wrote, "I'm left with the sobering thought that if music is a
reflection of the soul of a nation, many of our young listeners are in
big trouble. But I'm also left with a great hope that God is able to
turn up the volume of Christian music loudly enough to change the
world."
