The Petra Zone

First, I think you're all being a little hard on Carman. Sure, he was never my favorite, but I thought alot of him just as a person. The one show I saw live was quite a work of showmanship, and I have always felt his ministry and faith to be very real and genuine. But as a member of Petra .... nah, ...

For some reason, I always think of "The Coloring Song". We did it once in an Easter Cantata in a Methodist Church I was once in. It seemed to fit in with the other music. I also think "Graverobber" would be appropriate. After all, isn't the message of Easter that Death must die? "Rose Of Sharon" wou...

See, I'm still convinced that the church and Christians do help the actual poor. and we see plenty of examples of the Gov't trying to shut that down. I believe progressive Gov't has redefined poor and helped create a another class of people who are perfectly capable of making it on their own, but i...

So how can government be Christian, or Christians be in govt, if they won't do what Christians are supposed to do? Asking "how can government be Christian" is like asking how an algorithm can be "Christian". A government is just a system. Nothing more. It can no more be "Christian" or "Unchristian"...

I would also think the discrimination issue would be of great importance here. As someone else said, this is basically preferential treatment to families that have money. Low-income or homeless families just can't do this. I would have been pretty angry if my son had brought home a letter like that....

I don't know how any Christian could support the republican party because they stand opposed to any care for the poor and destruction of the environment. Two issues that are major themes in Scripture. Actually, I'm sure you well know, it is the Democrats who stand opposed to any care for the poor. ...

They were great when I saw them in Kingsport, TN. But I can imagine being disappointed has Louie not been there. No reflection on Cristan; I've just been a Louie fan since 1985. I have to think if Louie hadn't been there, it would have kind of put me in a bad mood. Also, it seems to me that these "f...

All this is just one more example of what made Petra the greatest Christian Rock band of all time.

Though I have really just discovered "Disciple". Close second, IMO. At lest they come across with a clear message.

So did you get to see them? I saw them a few days later further northwest in Kingsport, TN. I started a whole topic for that.

That's true of any singer. Just like exercise - the more you work out the easier it gets. Or so they say. (yeah it is true. I admit it. I exercise. Augh.) That makes sense. The larynx is controlled by muscles and nerves just like everything else, and I'm sure those muscles can get out of condition ...

I downloaded this album from Amazon (which means I paid for it Sue, so no calling the copyright police ;) ). I like this method of buying MP3 albums because you can download the music to your "Amazon Cloud Player" and have it available to you wherever you have access to the internet. I like the whol...

Sorry guys. I've been busy. The "energy" of the concert was really good. It was great just to be in the same room as the same band that was so used by God early in my Christian life to move me forward and keep my faith firm ... to teach me what a passionate Christian life could be like. As another p...

I am sitting in Indian Springs Baptist Church in Kingsport, TN waiting for classic Petra to start their concert. Just wanted you to know.

Seriously though, I feel the very concept of the movie trivializes a pivotal time in our history. It kind of makes me mad.

And that fact makes me really upset ... over the fact that ... well .... I kind of wanna see it.

Jesus answered, "My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight, so that I should not be delivered to the Jews; but now My kingdom is not from here." - John 18:36 Guys, I think we have all, to a large degree, been doing The Cause of Christ, and Petra, and ...
