He Came!

For to us a child is born,
to us a son is given;
and the government shall be upon his shoulder,
and his name shall be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Merry Christmas

Simple

This was sent to my wife by a friend and she forwarded it to me. Logan is a 13 year-old boy who lives on a ranch in a very small town in Nebraska. Logan listens to 89.3FM KSBJ, which broadcasts from Houston, TX. Logan called the radio station distraught because he had to take down a calf . His words have wisdom beyond his years. Since airing the audio of the phone call and now the making of the video clip, it has taken on a life of its own. This conveys the simplicity of the Gospel. Jesus came and died for our sins. The Father provided a sacrifice to take away our sins. Many times I over analyze and forget the simplicity of it. We were in need of a savior and The Father provided.

My Vote

i am not one to pass out things like this very easily. to me this is the bet album of 2007. let me say that again TO ME this is the best album of 2007. please do not contact me telling me how you think that i am totally wrong. music is personal. anyway this album was in a way an album of redemption for me. over the past few years i have not enjoyed much music that "christian" artists have put out and i will leave it at that for now.
i have rsb's first album and it was good but i want to tell you that since i got this album about two months ago there has not been a week that i have not listened to it. it is so refreshing. it is like robbie understood all of the frustrations that i felt with "christian" music.
this album is thought provoking, gospel explicit, creative material. robbie's gritty voice is accompanied by wonderful production and great mastering. i love how they have accomplished being all about the gospel with out being typical christian cheesy. this is "christian" music in today's translation.
just to highlight a few tracks: right off the bat Rise is a stirring anthem for us to get up and love, New day has one of the greatest lines i have heard in a long time; "and if you're like me you need hope, coffee, and melody"; Shine Your Light on Us is a song for everyone, it is a plea to the hurting and it soothes, and last but not least Beautiful, Scandalous Night for me is a masterpiece in the area of remade hymns.
i am just a guy who loves music. i listen to it alot and i listen to alot of different kinds. i am more eclectic than most but not that eclectic at all. this album has brought me the hope that the truth and beauty of the gospel are still out there in great music that is not labeled "worship". get this, and maybe i am wrong and you will not like it at all, but i love it and that is all that matters.

Amen John!

this rung like a bell to the core of me
let me know what you think
