For a long time now, and for whatever reason, divorce has been embraced by the church as one of those "acceptable" sins. Straight up adultery still marks you as a pariah, but if you divorce your spouse and marry someone else then that's acceptable even though Jesus said that's adultery, too. Drug a...

They sound good. I like Desert Rose a lot too.

I do remember that, but it's been a long time.

Look, John's ministry and rep is something we all care about. Sometimes love has to step in and you have to say that you don't personally feel that something is a good idea, especially when it's posted to a discussion board, and sometimes even if you feel like your position on the matter may not be...

This is an oldie from the 90s. It was after a concert in Orange County, maybe Costa Mesa?

I have some, but I am going to have to find them, they are in photo albums and I have a lot of photo albums. I'll get something posted as soon as I can.

There is always the option of simply not buying the shirt if it's something you don't care for. I haven't seen anyone say people are required to buy it. Just my take.

Well put Brent. And as I pointed out, not saying anything on the Internet doesn't mean they aren't doing what they can to help. There has been political and social propaganda circulating in the media for as long as media in its various forms has existed. While there is nothing intrinsically wrong wi...

Not making a Facebook announcement doesn't equal not caring or not being sad for the victims. Of course it's a sad thing. Nobody deserves to be murdered whether you agree with their lifestyle or not. The issue here isn't discrimination. The problem here is with the individual(s) committing terrorist...

That gal needs her mouth washed out with soap. :P I do understand where she is coming from to a point, but this is from the perspective of someone not claiming to be a believer. The point of view of a Christian pointing out things that aren't good about CCM or someone claiming to be a believer and t...

I do get what you mean, and do agree about double standards. Whatever the case, God is bigger than anything messed up humans can dish out. If He wasn't we'd all be in trouble.

Kevin is not alone in having marital trouble by any means. There have been a number of folks in the industry who have gone through divorces, and I would guess their being away from home a lot is probably a factor. Marriage is a lot of work in the best of circumstances. Being on the road a lot is bou...

It's been a while since we've had one of these discussions. I get the idea that if you claim to be a Christian you should be living that way, but that goes for anyone, not just people in a band or with jobs where they have to deal with the public a lot. I don't think Brent is trying to say sin is ok...
