It is absolutely AWESOME!!!! Got to see DC Talk at the Key Arena in Seattle with my oldest daughter (23yrs), what a different experience from a secular concert. These are incredibly talented people with a worthy message.
The author is rather ignorant. She says Jesus is almost alive to these kids. Uhhh . . . Jesus is alive to them. And for her "hot Christian girls" remark, I didn't see any pictures of girls with their bellies hanging out, their low-cut shirts or too-short skirts. If a girl listens to Christian rock, she's probably more conservative than your casual "Sunday only cause my parents make me" girl.
Knowing they would miss the real message.....at least it was positive.
You do realize we won't be using hymnals in heaven.... Nor will anyone say, "Let's do a Luther song!".
Our family loves Third Day! Momma's favorite is "Homesick".
FYI, "Homesick" is by Mercy Me.
From the article:
"Jesus is their personal savior. He's almost alive to them."
Not almost, He is Alive!

Thanks! My kids are laughing at me right now!
Well I'm a boomer,but there's a group out now, Casting Crowns, that's as good as any secular stuff out there !!!
Um, excuse me...how do you know?
Are there any Christian Surf bands?
Casting Crowns! That's who I was going to mention too. My wife listens to the Christian radio station but I don't care for it too much. But I DID swipe her casting Crowns CD for my truck!
"When will we get down on our knees - instead of asking Oprah what to do?"
(Or something like that from one of their songs.) Saw them in concert with my 10-year old son. VERY conservative values with hard-rock music. And NOT selling an easy story - but the telling the hard truth.
Thanks for posting that Cash cover.
Despite the song's originator's, I really do like Cash's "Personal Jesus".
This had me wondering if he did put out some recordings of sacred music;
I'd just never gotten around to checking.
Call me when the subtle vitriol has played itself out ...
Please dont stop! Id like more such Christian threads started, even if you get a few snotty replies. Such threads are a good counter to the anti-Christian bigotry I see, sadly, almost every day here on FR.
I ain't in Heaven yet.
"Jesus is their personal savior. He's almost alive to them."
NO WAY!!! Jesus is ALMOST alive to them?!?!?!? That's, like, crazy talk!! I laughed so hard at this. She's sounds totally surprised about it.
Third Day is fantastic!
Thats part of the reason that Mrs. Still and I started attending a predominately African-American church some years back. Aint no Air Supply songs there!
