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 PattyI was challenged not too long to explain the reasons for my position on the identity of Jesus Christ. The challenge was laid out as a matter of urgency because what was at stake was the crucial pivotal point of life – who is worthy of worship. There are perceptions that suggest only God is […]
Read More What’s At StakeHere 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 HammondWe 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 More In A Change To The Scheduled Blog … For The Love Of GodAs a choral exercise it doesn’t come much better than this track that is featured on the John P Kee VIP project from way back when. The sentiment is simple the focus is clear and although I’m not sure anymore whether we should have the ‘come into His presence’ mentality that suggests we were not […]
Read More Let Us Praise And Worship Him – VIP Mass ChoirI am a big fan of scripture in song. I absolutely love it. For me it’s one of the best ways of committing scripture to memory. The thing of hearing the song and hearing it again and then realising that it’s pointing to scripture and so you can dedicate it to heart with the trigger […]
Read More He That Dwelleth – Daryl ColeyListening to this song now after all those years since it first lodged itself in my brain it sounds dated. It sounds like it belongs to another time and another place. Something about styles of music having changed in the interim period would under other circumstances see me give this song a wide berth. Yet […]
Read More I Am Determined – Tramaine HawkinsI would not be writing this blog if I had gone a different way not too long ago. I could have been what I call a corporate Christian. Now by corporate, I’m obviously not talking about into the gathering as a whole. What I mean by corporate Christian is viewing the whole thing as a […]
Read More Mistakes I Have MadeAh. Daryl Coley. Many brilliant gospel vocalists. Only one Daryl Coley. Inimitable. Doesn’t begin to cover it with a character like him. He is simply majestic in his creative use of the vocal chords that he’s obviously been blessed by God. I’m not sure if I’ll ever get to see him in a live convert […]
Read More To Live Is Christ – Daryl ColeyThere are a number of versions of this song doing the rounds going from efforts like this to more solo black-gospel style versions. It’s not uncommon to hear this sung in crusades and large meetings from tele-evangelists, etc. (I’ll leave that to you to decipher if that’s a good or bad thing, but it is […]
