Music Tuesday - Passion: God of this City

-
I love the Passion albums and this one is no exception. I don't know what it is, but Tomlin, Crowder and the gang seem to have their pulse on the heart of God and the heart of the Church. So far, here are the songs I'm really enjoying...

God of This City - the title track brings so much hope. It makes me want to get together all of the churches in our area and remind them that God is still at work and He has plans for us.

O For A Thousand Tongues to Sing - David Crowder brings the old and makes it new again. He adds a great refrain to this majestic Hymn...
So come on and sing out
Let our anthem grow loud
There is one great love... Jesus

Hosanna - So far this is my favorite song on the album. I heard it from Hillsong United, and Brooke Fraser does such a great job on this song. But I must say that Christy Nockels is incredible and this song fits her well. The bridge on this song is amazing...
Heal my heart and make it clean
Open up my eyes to the things unseen
Show me how to love like you have loved me
Break my heart for what breaks yours
Everything I am for your kingdom's cause
As I walk from earth into eternity

You can hear Brooke Fraser's version on youtube, or just click below...



Sing, Sing, Sing - Just an absolutely fun song. My favorite part is when the build comes and Tomlin says "Ready! 1-2-3," and you are expecting this huge crash on the drums, but instead all you hear is the crowd singing at the top of their lungs to the Lord. Awesome!

Beautiful Jesus is really starting to grow on me. I think Kristian Stanfill's rendition of Jesus Paid it All may be my favorite from the last Passion album that I have. Stanfill delivers again with this song.

The Glory of It All - I know that some people just find him to be odd, but I really like David Crowder. I guess that says something about me. :)

There's also some Matt Redman & Charlie Hall on this album. Even Steve Fee shows up. Tomlin has another rendition of My Chains are Gone as well. It's well worth the 9 dollar download from Amazon or for you iTunes users it's $10.

Music Tuesday - 2 Free Album Giveaways

I've had a lot of fun giving away music throughout the year, but what's amazing is how many times no one would take me up on the offer. So with all the money I've saved, I'm going to try giving away two album downloads on iTunes. Of course, as with all giveaways, there is a catch. Here's this one... This giveaway will be a drawing. In order to participate you need to share what you think is your favorite song or favorite album that you heard in 2008 . (The song/album can be from any year, but this year is when you really came to enjoy it.) You will need to post your comments on the blog -- facebook comments won't count. I will draw from the names next Tuesday, December 23rd, and the two winners will receive one free email gift certificate for $10 from iTunes for the music of YOUR CHOICE . So you can get an album or you can choose 10 different songs if you wish. Here's my favorite album of the year: Room to Breathe from Andy Gullahorn . This album is...

A New Adventure

It's been about 13 years, but my wife and I are moving again. This time we're taking along a couple of kids that we picked up in that last 13. There are tons of emotions, lots to do and very little time to accomplish it all. (Sorry, but the blog has to suffer - it's just not that high on the priority list right now) We are headed to Noblesville, Indiana . We are going to help start a new Free Will Baptist Church on the North East corner of Indianapolis. The name of the church is The Heights . We are so excited about the promise of this new beginning. We are being joined by 3 other families. Kevin and Debbie Scott: Kevin and Debbie went to FWBBC with me and Wendy. They have 3 kids, and are hosting the initial church services in their home. Their hospitality is amazing. Kenny and Anna Panduku: We just met Kenny and Anna for the first time this past week. They opened up their home to us, and Isaiah was thrilled to watch the NCAA championship on Kenny's "fa...

Are We The New Freaks?

I don't know anything about Carl Trueman, but JT (Justin Taylor) from Between Two Worlds has highlighted a couple of his posts these past few days. Here's what's scary... It appears Mr. Trueman and I were watching the same edition of the Rachel Maddow Show and it stirred both of us the same way. He wrote this piece after watching that show. I wrote my own "Troubled" parts 1 and 2 after I saw the show. I have been really thinking about what I see because of this incident and lo and behold Mr. Trueman has another post, Goodbye Larry King and Hello Jerry Springer , and it is exactly what I've been thinking. He words it so well. I wish I could have done the same. Here are a couple of quotes... What is becoming increasingly clear is that the day is probably not far off when those who regard homosexual practice as wrong will be consistently presented as the moral, cultural and intellectual equivalents of white supremacists... You can have the hippest soul patch i...
