Miller (2007) explores the debate surrounding the contemporary Christian music. His book presents a look at the contemporary music in the Christian churches with a view of aiding in the understanding:

Problem Statement
The use of music in worship among the Black Americans has been linked to the success of both the musicians themselves in their personal endeavors that are off the altar as well as the success rate in the passing of important messages to their audiences. This is linked to the role of music in bringing people together and in touching emotions of the listeners.

Gospel artists have always taken advantage of the Gospel by their use of catchy rhythms that is familiar to the public. Further research that supports the role of music in worship could help various churches and musicians in the passage of important scriptural messages as well as to further decipher the link between music and success in worship.
