    WHY NETWORK?

    by James Moore

    First let me start by saying that I’m just a songwriter, barely self published, sometimes anointed, blessed with some radio play, a few websites, and a vision.  But I’m getting a little bit ahead of myself already.  I founded the Christian Songwriter’s Network (CSN) in 2003, and at that time its sole purpose was to link Christian songwriters’ websites together.  I believed that while exchanging links between songwriters’ websites was certainly a worthy endeavor, a centralized hub would be much better.  I had made many songwriting friends through the Christian Songwriting Organization (CSO), and over time I felt led to grow another ministry—one of supporting, promoting, and networking Christian songwriters, songwriting chapters, and other songwriting organizations.  This has become my passion, on top of my still active personal songwriting/music ministry.

    And I believe God has anointed this ministry.  Our forum is approaching 4,000 members, and people are both learning and teaching each other, on subjects ranging from songwriting basics to the art of mixing recordings.

    Based on user feedback, we’ve also recently made it much easier for our forum visitors to access other Christian songwriting and artist forums.  Reciprocal linking is not at all required by our sister sites—it’s better to give than to receive, anyway, according to Acts 20:35.

    I also believe Ephesians 4:15-16 describes a pretty good model for our ministry: “Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into him who is the Head, that is, Christ. From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work.” 

    The CSN strives to be the ligament, supporting in love that part of the body of Christ which is made up by the Christian songwriting community.

    Lastly, from the bottom of my heart I thank YOU for being a part of this ministry; whether you are helping out with moderator duties in our forum, critiquing songs in our forum, or just stopping by to read what we’re all about.  This ministry exists because of YOU, and for YOU.

    James Moore is a keyboardist/vocalist at the First Assembly of God of Panama City Beach, Fla.  James can be reached using this form, and the CSN can be found at ChristianSongwriters.org.
