No, I agree. You don't go to church to be entertained, but you CAN be entertained at church.Mountain Man wrote:So you disagree with my statement?Thief wrote:That's not what I said.Mountain Man wrote:If you're going to church to be entertained then you're going for the wrong reasons.
There are always exceptions, but like I said, if you're going to a Christian concert for in-depth ministry, or to church to be entertained then you're going for the wrong reasons.Thief wrote:No, I agree.

Now do you think that you can be entertained at church? or that you can be ministered at a concert?
I'm curious to see if John Slick has any thoughts. I see that he still regularly logs in from time to time.dihigo wrote:Looks like "For Annie" made the list! https://www.facebook.com/gregxvolz/post ... 0908492720
A little disappointing, but not surprising. I think Greg Volz might be a bit like John Slick in that he doesn't consider anything after he left the band to be "real" Petra.davealward wrote:So according to Kirk, no Schlitt era songs will be on the project. Though I am still looking forward to the CPR project, I think it would have had more appeal if there were a couple of Schlitt songs since we already had BACK TO THE ROCK. I also am hoping they really rock out on some of the songs, making them heavier and meatier than the originals. like Stryper has done in the past.
I wouldn't sweat it. It looks as if The Union of Sinners & Saints is back in the studio working on their second album with John covering "Just Reach Out" and perhaps other Petra tunes from his time with the band.Mountain Man wrote:A little disappointing, but not surprising.

That's sort of the whole idea, isn't it? Otherwise they would've called it White Rock, or Petheart. Throwing in the occasional cover doesn't change the fact that it's a new band.curt wrote:In my perception it's neither Petra nor Whiteheart.
They only did 2 covers on the first album and plan the same on the second; They have done some more covers live but John has said that was more due to the amount of time they had to fill for the show; the more new material they get the less you will hear the covers live. My understanding is they have enough new material to fill 2 albums with a couple of covers for each and plan on releasing an album this year and in 2018. John is also pitching around a new solo project but not sure if it will be funded or go the way that the last 2 solo offerings went.curt wrote:That's a fair point. I have mostly seen them doing covers which has left me with no interest to investigate further. I may have to ask myself "heeeeeeyyyyy did you ever think twice?" no matter if they cover that song or not.
You're missing out, then. Of the 12 songs on their debut album, there are three covers (one Petra, one White Heart, and one a rock rendition of "Christ the Lord is Risen Today"), and the remaining nine are originals. It's actually a really good album, and I'm glad to hear it's not a one-off project.curt wrote:That's a fair point.
