The Petra Zone

I've been posting information and video on my facebook page...I have been surprised and pleased at the number of "Wow!" responses I've been getting from people. People are really stoked about this when they find out...that bodes well for a successful Classic Petra tour! Boo Yah!

Amen and amen, Brent...nice to see there are other sinners in this Zone besides myself. I feel less lonely now!!

Heavenly Father: We thank You that You hold all of the days of our life in Your hands. Lord, we recognize that while Your ways are not our ways, Your ways are infinitely best. We praise You that You promise that ALL things work together for the good of those who are called according to Your purpose....

Ouch! I come out of hiding to comment and get accused of lying...wonderful. Makes me remember why I stopped visiting for a good long while. Anyway, I did in fact talk to Penny via the wonderful medium of facebook and she did indeed indicate that the guys WERE excited about doing this. It WILL happen...

Oh, Lord...here we go again...

Interestingly enough...there is already a precedent for this sort of thing in CCM right now. I'm not sure how many of you remember the vocal group Acappella, but they are currently performing as two different incarnations of the same group. Much like Petra, Acappella also had a bit of a revolving me...

Brent...sounds like you and I share very similar stories. I didnt come to the Lord until my late teens...my family basically were heathens. I came to faith in Jesus when a friend gave me a copy of "Beat the System." I fell in love with the music and one day the song lyrics penetrated my heart. I kne...

I'm with Brent on this one...at least 99% of the way!

Petra has always been bigger than any individual member. It is about the MINISTRY. As long as that heart is the same...it is Petra.

First off...I think the last two thirds of this discussion are a bit silly frankly. I am a long time Petra devotee. I came to the Lord through listening to the Beat the System album back in 1986 and have been an avid follower since. I love both the Greg era of Petra as well as the John era of Petra....

In defense of Behringer...for poor musicians on an almost negative budget, they are great. I use their effects pedals and I also run my acoustic through their acoustic amp and have always been very pleased with the results. Would I go with something else if I could afford it? Probably...but for my m...

Hi, all! I haven't been on here in awhile...but I am a LONG-time lurker. My name is Eric and I'm from Indianapolis. I sing for a band called Stones Crye. We were really active in the late 90's, then took a hiatus that lasted 11 years. We recently started playing out again and are really enjoying it....

Long time lurker...rare poster. petrafan1 and Edward...please stop with the nonsense. I don't come on this only to see people ream each other out. Be Christ...pull up your big boy underwear and knock it off. The name calling is thoroughly unacceptable and dishonors Christ first and foremost...and Pe...

All I can say is wow! Brent's review is right on. This is more along the lines of what I've been hoping to hear from him in a good long while. What a joy just to hear those pipes again!! I bought both John's and Greg's new solo albums. I think they are both well done...given the constraints of an in...

I am praying for you, brother. I think about you ever once in a while when I look over my friends list at my myspace site and see the band pic. I hope you are doing well...and I will be praying for your wife.
