Music of encouragement to the saints and anticipation of the arrival of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ can be expressed in different ways. Some people are used to hearing it in ways that might evoke great clamour and excitement. Some might prefer the subtle and understated approach. Either way, these songs and their […]
Read More We Shall Behold Him – Sandy PattyHere is something to remind you of what’s going on when our focus is not on the things that are seen. For His Name’s Sake Shalom dmcd
Read More When You Praise – Fred HammondThis song takes me back to far more innocent days in my upbringing where the clouds of change were far away and I was happy to accept what I was told about the world, church, gospel and the like. Never questioning (too often) merely going with the flow. This kind of song represents for me […]
Read More Jesus He’s My King – VIP Mass Choir feat. JPK & Shawn McLemoreWe love because he first loved us. (1 John 4:19) This is not the blog I meant to write, but before I get to it a related diversion. I didn’t do preacher training in any formal setting, but I picked up on the styles of those that I heard. As I grew up there was […]

(Read it again, it’s worth while to get the context on where I’m coming from with what follows.) There is something of a conceit with the whole […]
Read More It’s A Formality – Part TwoMeditating is something we all to some extent. In fact you’ll know when you’re doing it because someone has to snap you out of it when your mind is just on something. If you put your mind to it there’s every chance that when you meditate on something it will have a bearing on how […]
Read More Jesus (Oh How I Love To Call) – Perfected Praise Choir featuring Marvin WinansSometimes it’s best not to question certain practices and norms, because when you start to question you start on a slippery slope to rebellion against that which our fathers and forefathers held in high regard. Take for example clothes. I do believe that clothes makes the man. I do believe that fashion makes a statement […]
Read More It’s A Formality – Part OneFirst it’s good to hear someone who is an accomplished songwriter in his own right have a go at someone else’s masterpiece. That’s something that I like about the gospel field that there is (or should be) a great enjoyment of doing other people’s material, because there’s an appreciation that whatever connects people with God […]
