Well it's 2008 and time for new beginnings. I know it's been a while (months) since I've posted something. Hopefully you will enjoy the feel and look of the page. My endeavor is to inform others about music that encourage others as they begin or continue to walk with Christ. Without Him I can do nothing I am as sounding brass. Pray for me that I complete the task at hand and please the Father in ministry.
Now, back to the music. Let's go back to 2004, Vashawn Mitchell's project "Believe in Your Dreams" is a must have. The first track that I heard on the radio is "Where the Praises Are".
The words grabbed my ears first :
"I want to be where the praises are,
I want to be where God is.
I want to be where the Spirit is,
there's no place I'd rather be.
Where the Spirit is there is liberty.
Whom the Son sets free is free indeed.
He inhabits the praise of you and me.
There's no place I'd rather be."
Isn't this what we all want, to be where God is? To freely give to and receive from Him.
We must remember that the praises are not just in church but everywhere the people of God are. After we've praised Him on the instruments, with our voices and in dance we should praise Him in our daily conversation and walk. Tell others how good He is. Show your appreciation by thanking Him for the small things (as we call it). Life, health, strength, shelter, clothes, food, sobriety, sanity, freedom, etc. When someone says "Sister you sang today." Your response should be, "Thank you, it was nothing but the Lord." You might get some strange looks but it's an effective way to keep pride down and God uplifted.
Well that's it for today. I will review other tracks from this album this week.
As always your comments are welcome. Let me know of any music you want me to review.
Your servant in Christ,
Roscheeta.
PS. Special thanks to "Spike" Ellis. His interest in the Gospel Review has prompted the revival of this blog. If you want to see what he's up to check out Spikehouse Productions. He has been playing drums for Mandisa as well as others. Keep holding it down for Flint.
