Looking for good Christian music

[Littlejoe]

I've always been partial to most Christian music by Russ Taff. Sang with the Gaithers, The Imperials as well as his own stuff.

He's 62 now so this clip shows he's lost a little of his range...

Every once in a while, throughout the year, I'll have us sing a "Christmas Carol" just to point out that December (and the 25th in particular) are not the only times we celebrate His birth.

It's in the Nicene Creed, so technically every day. We start incorporating Christmas material in services on Nov. 15 (beginning of the Nativity Fast), continuing until Dec. 31. It's only the Resurrection we sing about every Sunday.

I get kinda teary when I watch this....

But THIS is the one for which I was actually looking....

Here's the Nativity Canon we sing on Sundays leading up to Christmas:

Wait... A Baptist Church with a woman pastor?

Probably not. It was just an outside group that wanted to use our facilities. I don't know who they were.

But there is a Baptist church nearby me that has a woman pastor, a woman assistant pastor, and a woman youth director. They also support the homosexual movement, and were involved in war protests back in the 1970s.

Probably General Baptists, then, not Southern Baptists.

I just now checked their website. It's an ABC church. And they're advertising next Sunday as Coming Out Sunday in bright rainbow colors.

I can imagine what sort of Christian music they play during the worship service.

The church I grew up in is an ABC Church. It has had a female pastor before and the current pastor endorses homosexuality. I don't know who the General Baptists are.

When I was a kid, the church described itself as "conservative" so these are all recent developments.

This one's recently had a powerful impact on me.

What's the deal with that guy? I was checking out some of his other projects a few years ago and some of the lyrics were very sexually explicit, yet I do see him occasionally mentioned as a Christian artist.

As I understand it, he got jerked around by his record label and was away from the faith for a while. His last Christian recording was called "Disengage." It's only recently that he seems to have come back to the faith; the opening track on his latest Circle of Dust album was called "Reengage."
