Anyone listen to Audrey Assad?

[98cwitr]

So I like a wide range of music types and styles, but have been on a Staind, Alice in Chains, Bush, Soundgarden, Smashing Pumpkins, Collective Soul, Nirvana, STP, Flyleaf, etc kick for quite some time. Every now and then though I'll listen to some softer stuff like Colbie Calliat, Taylor Swift, Anita Baker, etc. Anyway, I've never been much on the Christian music; but a friend of mine sent me a link to this chick:

Live:

YouTube - Audrey Assad - Restless Live at Radio Shine

For odd reason, I can't picture you, 98cwitr, liking Taylor Swift....

But that's a nice song.

Restless is one of my new favorite songs...she has such a beautiful voice.

I prefer (and find myself exclusively listening to) Reformed Rap. Check these out and tell me what you think

I love Audrey Assad!! She is one of my favorite musicians. That song "Restless" comes from St. Augustine's Confessions. She is a part of a growing number of Catholics (Matt Maher is the other main one) who are joining into the Contemporary Christian music scene. It's so awesome how ecumenical CCM is becoming!

'Cuz that's the one thing we can all do together: Praise the Lord!!!

 

[Reader Antonius]

"You are great, O Lord, and greatly to be praised: great is your power and your wisdom is without measure. And man, so small a part of your creation, wants to praise you: this man, though clothed with mortality and bearing the evidence of sin and the proof that you withstand the proud. Despite everything, man, though but a small a part of your creation, wants to praise you. You yourself encourage him to delight in your praise, for you have made us for yourself, and our heart is restless until it rests in you."

-St. Augustine of Hippo

Why is Augustine pulling an apple out of his head?

And do you share the same soteriology as Augustine? I do

Baptist's really have no business listening to either Audrey Assad or Matt Maher.

They preach and believe in "another Jesus" than the One true Jesus of the Bible.

That may offend some, but truth was never meant to tolerate error. The "Jesus" that AA and MM sing about is the "Jesus" that AA and MM embrace... one whose mother allegedly remained a virgin throughout her life, one whose mother is allegedly up in Heaven hearing and answering prayers. One whose mother demands worship of herself and makes promises that she in no way can keep.

In other words, the mother of the "Jesus" that AA and MM present to the world is an imposter and her son is also an imposter.
