I remember watching this comedy sketch and making a note that said I’m sure car salesmen wouldn’t behave like this to get the sale, but I’m not too sure about church salesmen. Of course the English culture is very different to the American one in this regard. Although we have a number of British Christian […]
Read More Evangelism and Selling JesusThe return of the Messiah is not something often touched on in songs. It certainly wasn’t when I was growing up. This song was one of the first that popularised the topic for me. For His Name’s Sake Shalom dmcd
Read More CD Songs: It Won’t Be Long – Andrae CrouchSomething I appreciate about the songs of Andrae Crouch is how some of his tunes are upbeat. This is a great pep talk sort of tune that gets you up and grooving as well as bearing in mind that there is meant to be a point to believing Jesus. Letting the world know. For His […]
Read More CD Songs: I’m Gonna Keep On Singing – Andrae CrouchOh so you thought I was over the Andrae thing. You thought wrong – again. It’s all good, because it is all good. This Andrae deal is brilliant and when you hear his enthusiasm at the beginning of the track it makes me think about the energy of youth and the feeling you can do […]
Read More CD Songs: He Looked Beyond My Faults – Andrae CrouchSo I’m on a little bit of an Andrae kick at the moment, and I’m not sorry about it. He is a pioneer that has blazed a trail to allow so many to share the gift of their brand of gospel music with many. One of those beneficiaries has been Israel Houghton who himself has […]
Read More DMCD Songs: I Didn’t Think It Could Be – Andrae and IsraelJust the smallest stir took place when Chaka Khan gave this rendition of her R’n’B hit at a Celebration of Gospel. It opens up a lot of interesting questions about what are songs that glorify God? Gotta tell you, there’s a slice of me (rather than a part for a change) that is old school. […]
Read More What Is Gospel Music? Through The Fire?There have been one or two blog posts especially in January that were inspired after reading sections of Michael Eric Dyson’s book I May Not Get There With You: The True Martin Luther King. A bit of personal context might help before getting into the review itself. When I was in my early teens I […]
Read More DMCD Book Review: I May Not Get There With Youand, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Matthew 28:20 From the agony of Gethsemane to the brutality of Calvary, came the victory of resurrection and as we come to the end of the journey through Matthew we come across the last words uttered by the Risen Saviour. I […]
Read More Lo I Am With You – JesusEven though I know how the story goes and even though I am aware that the outcome is far greater than this episode, the final hours of Jesus’ life before death as recorded in Matthew chapter 26 and 27 remain the most painful portions of scripture in the book. I read it and I feel […]
Read More Insights From Matthew – Lessons in Agony from GethsemaneJesus Christ, Superstar. Typing those words, let alone saying them, immediately conjures up the song of the musical on which it’s based. Some have issues with its portrayal of the Messiah and some of those issues could very well be valid. For the time being, however, I’m asking you to consider this musical rendition of Jesus’ time […]
