How Alvin Slaughter hasn’t been featured in this blog since it started almost five years ago is a mystery to me. I love this guy. Back in the day the big boss of the P&W scene was Ron Kenoly and Slaughter was like the poor man’s Kenoly, but I think he’s in a league of […]
Read More Shouts of Joy – Alvin SlaughterHelen Baylor’s testimony is amazing and her contribution to the gospel music scene has been almost as sensational (you gotta hear her testimony to see why it’s so amazing). This track has got to be her signature song and with good reason. For His Name’s Sake Shalom dmcd
Read More Awesome God – Helen BaylorI’m posting this song by the celebrated Bishop Walter Hawkins because of two reasons. One, it’s a great song wonderfully rendered and seeing it live is a beautiful thing showcasing once more the merits of great gospel music to the ears and the eyes.

I see it often when my girls see something they enjoy – the look on their faces express it and they are eager to run up and say thank you. In fact the oldest one now has the vocabulary to wax […]
Read More We Must Praise – J. MossYou know I’ve been mentioning assignments of late, well tonight is a very interesting one as I have to complete another one. I believe it really is the last proper assignment that I’ll have to do for a while, so if I can put in the effort over the next hour or so then I […]
Read More Dealing With Cares: Sing A SongUnhindered Praise, Unhindered Worship. There’s something about having that Audience of One mentality that can lead to a worship and praise lifestyle free from being inhibited by the thoughts of others and the issues going on within you. It is something particularly experienced in those intimate times on your own with God where the full […]
