Majesty - Jack Hayford

I've got interest from 2 bass players so far. Any drummers in or near Portland interested?

Actually, I took a class in college called Christian Hymns and the textbook was called A Panorama of Christian Hymnody. ^_^ That aside, I think it's false to say that hymns are more biblically or theologically correct than contemporary praise and worship. There's good and bad in both camps...

Back in the day I was more into Stryper, but I really dig her songs now!

Searching for God Knows What by Don Miller. I read Blue Like Jazz and had to have more, so I read Through Painted Deserts and now Searching... I may go on and read all his books--I think he has two others. Incidentally, Through Painted Deserts was originally called Prayer and the Art of...

I think it was Bach who said that there's two kinds of music, good music and bad music. It doesn't matter if it's old or new, praise band or organ, just make a joyful noise!

I agree that most of the good contemporary Christian music doesn't make it onto the radio. You have to seek it out. As I said in post elsewhere I have been a Christian for 41 years and I never liked very much Christian music until recently. But there's so many more artists now than there used...

R-O-C-K in the USA! Actually I like classic rock, punk, grunge, metal, blues, jazz, folk, but very very little rap. Though I've been a Christian most of my life I didn't like very much contemporary Christian music until recently. I'm 41, so when I was a teen it was Stryper, Petra, Michael W...

I'm a Christian guitarist/singer/songwriter in Portland, Oregon and I'm looking for other musicians--bass, drums, lead guitar, keys,...--to start a Christian rock/p&w band. I've been playing and writing songs for 15+ years. My influences include Waterdeep, Petra, Bob Dylan, Built to Spill,... If...

The analogy of Jesus as the groom and the Church as the bride is very prevalent in scripture.

Any christian song can be made into a jazz song if it's played that way. There are jazz praise and worship bands out there and, yes, hymns can be made into jazz numbers, too. Check out christianjazz.net christianjazz.blogspot.com, and songsofdavid.com. As far as blues goes, there is a...

Remix: To recombine audio tracks or channels from a recording to produce a new or modified audio recording. Parody: a work created to mock, comment on, or make fun at an original work. I think the word everyone is looking for here is appropriate: v...

A pastor once told me that he had a friend who was an atheist. His friend thought that believing in a god or Jesus was childish and he didn't see a point in it. So this pastor asked his friend to try living life as a Christian for one month and see if he changed his opinion. His friend agreed...

Depends on whether you want to consider Jesus one avatar among many or the Way, the Truth, and the Life.

No, I don't mind. I celebrated the seasonal observances and I more or less believed in the deification of nature. My favorite pagan goddess was, and still is, Brigid. But I can't say that I ever felt an actual relationship with her. I felt, and still do feel, related to the earth in very...

Gardenia, I'm not saying your wrong, neccesarily, but that hasn't been my experience. I was raised in the Christian faith, but I left for quite some time and followed other spiritual paths, including some time without a spiritual path, as an atheist. What I found in Buddhism, though...

I Concur, some great links here! And for anyone browsing this thread who hasn't heard these, I can't post links yet, but check out the following on Youtube: Don Chaffer (the Khrusty Brothers) - "Sympathy for Jesus" Waterdeep - 18 Bullet Holes (Also with Don Chaffer) Danielson- "Did I Step...

There was a thread not long ago, begun by someone of a skeptical bent, challenging Christians to say what makes Christianity unique. The gist of the debate was this: Christians pointed to the Incarnation and the Resurrection. Skeptics pointed to stories of pagan deities being incarnated and...

Going by some of the bands you name, I'll suggest DC Talk, Switchfoot, and Waterdeep.
