===Backbeat===

Music has a cycle of four natural beats.  The second and fourth are primary beats, which should usually be dominant.  Syllables are usually started on these beats, at the same time as one or more note is played.  The first and third beats are known as the backbeat.  If you are counting of the beat, this will be exactly in between the primary beats.  While most music would focus on the primary beat, most modern music focuses on the backbeat.  It is accentuated above the primary, to cause a greater emotional response.  When Engaging in emotional worship, it is almost necessary that this backbeat to be used, to help encourage emotional expression.  The argument given by CCM writers and users is that music is [[amoral]] (neither good nor bad).  Therefore, it is fine to use any musical device as desired.  However, there are arguments to the opposite as well.<ref name=

====Physiological impact====

Bill Gothard has spoken on this impact of a backbeat in great detail, and is the person I tend to remember most in this area, although he is surely not the only one to speak on this.  As a counselor, he has been given plenty of expose to people in many different situations.  He has seen many people influenced by music with a backbeat.  These people have found themselves such freer to sin after or while listening to such music, usually [[Rock music|rock]].  People he counseled also used such music to deal with guild over sin, such as one person in particular he spoke of who would go out with gang members, and listen to rock music in their car for some time before they got up their courage to go beat up or rob someone.  Afterwards, the music also helped them to forget their guilt and not feel as bad.  Does such music then facilitate sin?  It seems so, but what about CCM?  The words are right, so it must be okay, right? A backbeat has been proven reduce inhibitions, so it is not hard to believe that such music may do this, simply because of the backbeat.<ref name=
