Perhaps I really have been living under a rock. For I never heard of this band until just a few weeks ago; and they have been rather big-time for over 3 years now.
As good as they sound: it is no wonder. For it is said that they sound like Daughtry, Casting Crowns, Nickelback and Mercy Me on their MySpace page; and I would like to add Creed and Alter Bridge unto the list if they don’t mind too awfully much.
In other words: THIS BAND CAN ROCK THE HOUSE; but wait: there’s more!!! For lead singer Jason Anderson has been fairly active on FOCM2; and I have received permission to include one of his posts, which should make it quite clear that this is a band that is serious about more than just making music for the sake of entertainment.
Hopefully: many will want to support their ministry. The new album is scheduled for release on March 11, 2008; and I hear that the first single “Beautiful” is already being broadcast.
Taking a Minute: Sowing and Reaping
I’m sure you’ve heard it said, "well you reap what you sow". So let’s talk about sowing and reaping, seed time and harvest.
Genesis 8: As long as the earth endures, seed time and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night will never cease. A farmer will tell you that if you plant corn, you will grow, corn. Well what does this mean to you? Whatever you currently have growing in your life, there is a good chance you planted the same thing some time ago. If all your friends have betrayed you and are talking bad about you, maybe you can go back to a time when you did the same to someone.
If you got a ticket for speeding, you probably were speeding. If you want love, give love. If you want friendship, give friendship. If you want hate, give hate. It’s all up to what seeds you plant.
Galatians 6 says “a man reaps what he sows. The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the spirit, from the spirit will reap eternal life.” Hmmm, that’s a tough one, destruction/ or eternal life, destruction, eternal life…Lets all go with eternal life. So ask God, what can I sow today that would be pleasing.
What are you going to sow today?
-Jason Anderson
Sounds like I'm going to check them out and have a listen. I'm totally off secular music now, but Casting Crowns is one of my favorite CCM groups. ;)
ReplyDeletePlease be assured that our Heavenly Father also speaks through secular music. In fact: Ozzie Osbourne delivers a very clear message in many of his songs unto those who have been given ears to hear it.
ReplyDeleteNonetheless: groups like RE:ZOUND are truly a very great blessing. For they deliver an even clearer message unto the masses.
I like casting crowns too but send me a sample of these guys music.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry for neglecting to mention that their music can be heard on their MySpace page. Just click-on the link unto it in this post and enjoy!!!
ReplyDeleteHi there!
ReplyDeleteI am participating in a meme and tagged you at my blog if you are interested in participating. I would love to learn more about you! Blessings, Marlo
you are reeling from the Superbowl too?? I live in Canada but am a Patriots fan. I thought I was going to cry. One of the announcers summed it up best:
ReplyDelete"It just goes to show that you don't have to be the best team to win - just the best team for that day"
It was a sad, sad day lol. Marlo
To be honest about it: I wanted the Patriots to win so that they could have an undefeated season. For I greatly appreciate "perfection": even when it is obtained by the enemy (DIE HARD COWBOYS FAN!!!); but after finding-out even more about what a wonderful familty the Mannings are: I do feel much better about the outcome. (Naturally-speaking, of course.)
