Encouragement during depression

[NumberOfStars]

Ms. NumberOfStars:

So you listened to the Disciple track, Battle Lines?

To me, it's really clear and a very good testimony.

Lyrics uncompromising, and good, hard rock. There is some screamo, as well, and it's done quite effectively, I think, don't you?

So are you also a person that appreciates the firm expression and witness of Christian hard rock?

Blessings.

I did indeed listen to it I may have heard that one once before but it's been a while. I do like Christian rock and hard rock- a few of my favorite genre's

Ms. NumberOfStars:

Maybe you have to turn the volume down a bit if you're in the house with family members...

But, yet, Christian hard rock has a lot of witness potential, I think, if the lyrics are sound and Biblical.

I think some local churches have soft rock, alternating maybe with traditional hymns, and maybe even a bit of hard rock occasionally at youth nights. But usually Christian hard rock events are reserved for concerts rather than church gatherings.

Blessings.

Ms. NumberofStars:

I guess you sort of consider yourself a hard rock woman, then. Sometimes you can get so thoroughly immersed in Christian hard rock, that it comes to define you.

For me, it's the lyrics - whether they are sound and Biblical - that are the crucial aspect, anyway.

Blessings.

Ms. NumberOfStars: Some of Disciple's lyrics - which are what really count - are so hard-hitting. As if they are so Biblical that they are hard to argue against.

Like I've been saying, really.

Blessings.

yea that's what I think. some lyrics are really meaningful

NumberOfStars:

Some people get hung up on the fact that Christian hard rock is performed by musicians who are pierced, wear blue jeans and maybe leather, instead of by those who wear tuxedos and evening gowns, or by little old ladies in 60 year old styles of clothes, hair in buns, etc.

I would say, we may or may not like various style, but concentrate on what they are saying.

Blessings.

This is a lovely Psalms. I love how it also says in Psalm 121: 'he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep'.

Blessings.

Ms. NumberOfStars:

You're right.

And I'm glad that there is more than one live thread on the Psalms as well.

(Isn't your screen name a reference to a Psalm, as well? or maybe I'm thinking of another verse.)

Blessings.

His favor is for life;
Weeping may endure for a night,
But joy comes in the morning."
