Hundreds of artists record thousands of CDs on dozens of religious labels for millions of passionate fans who attend a gazillion concerts a year. Bands are no longer cheap knock- offs of the secular industry's best offerings — they're groups that rise above sonically, using the same budgets, producers and video directors as the Gin Blossoms or Nine Inch Nails.

"If people know the Lord, and they want to sing music to represent him, they will perform it in whatever genre they feel most comfortable with." Most of the bands admit that temptation remains. In 1994, CCM darling Michael English had an extramarital affair, and all hell, so to speak, broke loose. He was purged and his records yanked from shelves. Odmark says he deals with the same things any 23-year-old single male does and must remember to check himself. "There are always things to struggle with whether you're Christian, in a band, both or nei- ther. We all walk wounded through this world, try- ing to decide the best path." Drummer and born-again Christian Peter Furlcr of the Newsboys explored the wild side first. He and his mates from down under formed the band to drink beer, impress girls and even smoke a little pot. "I realized my faith was more important than my indulgences. You learn how to be in this world but not of it," Furler says. "God never puts us in sit- uations we can't handle. Or maybe we're just too ugly and too old to get groupies." Other problems common to the secular side exist in CCM as well.
