The Petra Zone

I agree that Schuller appears to be a heretic. But we all know that John is on target with the Gospel. Maybe through John's appearance someone will check out his music or website and hear the authentic Gospel of Christ. Isn't that ultimately what John is about? What's the difference between John app...

I pastor a rural Southern Baptist church in central illinois. There are aprroximately 25 Southern Baptist Churches in our county. Of those 25, I'd say only about 10 of them have more that 100 people atttend a Morning Worship service, and only about 3 of them have more than 200. Though Brent is corre...

Not to be overly picky here, but when you write a book, the devil is in the details. Isn't the name of the album Back to the Street (not Streets). BTW, I too look forward to reading a copy of your book.

Computer Brains and Speak to the sky were not on the original VHS release. Can't wait to get my DVD. Glad it has turned out so well. Hope Bob sells a bunch.

I heard it too! I was pretty sure it was Petra, but was suprised to hear it on a tv show. Thanks for confirming. That was so cool.

I noticed on the DVD all of the different publishing companies Bob had written songs under--Dawn Treader, Petsong, House of Bob, and Songs of Lehsem. I'm just curious as to how this works? Why the need for so many different publishing companies? Also, does anyone know why some of Bob's songs that us...

I walked into my local Family Christian store to browse for some vocal tracks, and thought I'd look to see if they had any of the Farewell DVD's (I bought mine at Wal Mart, and I love it.) Anyway, I didn't see any Farewell DVD's or CD's for that matter, but found the Petra Praise compilation promine...

Calicowriter and Brent, please allow me to clarify my previous posting. First, Calicowriter, I did not mean to imply that YOU were rationalizing sin. If that is what you thought I was saying, then I apologize. What I was trying to say is that when anybody tries to rationalize their sin, instead of c...

Divorce in and of itself is not a sin. What?!?:shock: Sorry, but I must disagree with you here. "'I hate divorce,' says the Lord, the God of Israel." Malachi 2:16 "What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. " Matt 19:6 It is true that the Bible gives two reasons for divorce--...

I was listening to the Beat the System CD the other day, and one song reminded me of this entire thread. The song was "Witch Hunt." I hope the stones you guys are throwing don't hurt too much when they return to hit you in your own heart.This will be my only posts on this thread. Could I please ask...

Okay, here are a few additional observations for your consideration. First of all, I think many of us are going to have to agree to disagree on this issue. It seems like we have a fundamental disagreement on the nature of the work of a Christian artist. Some of us feel that "Christian artist" is an ...

OK Preacher boyz. Bring it on. I can't respond for everyone, but here is this "preacher boyz'" :) response. 1. My father was a pastor. Our family was basically black balled, because my dad gave into temptation and messed up. He received nothing but condemnation. I have lived in the wrath of the leg...

Not to make light of the issue discussed but? I have a MORE important question for Pastor-Preacherman777 and Pastor-BeReady!!! :D Would you be interested in having a John Schlitt concert at your church???? :D If we could afford it, I would do it in a heartbeat!! As a matter of fact, I've checked in...

I know that Bob has always viewed Petra as the Lord's ministry not his. But at the same time, the ministry of Petra has always been precious to Bob. I cannot see him intrusting that ministry to anyone he did not absolutely trust and respect.

Preacherman, I totally agree with your above posts as well. Unlost has the right to ask his question on a public forum. I don't believe he was being malicious, a gossip or a busybody. He was just asking a question. I think it is unfair to ascribe motive here or to call people names. Brent, thank you...
