for King & Country


There are bands that have talent and then there are bands that have transformative power. In most cases musicians who have the ladder are in grip of Lucifer and affect people for the negative. But occasionally there comes a band under the Lord's Banner who lets out a battlecry that stirs believers. One such band is for King & Country. A group of Aussie Americans, for King & Country is band with a beat from another world. Songs like "You Matter," "Its Not Over," and "Run Wild, Live Free, and Love Strong," have the power to heal and inspire. I have followed many musicans in the Christian mainstream. I have been a long time fan of RED, Skillet, Newsboys, Kutless, Pillar, and many others. Each of the aforementioned artists are talented, but they do not all have that sound.

The sound is divine. It transcends this world and brings Heaven to Earth. It connects the Soul and Spirit and has the power to shake and save. for King & Country has the sound; one with revival potential. It is no suprise that the devil has come against them; Luke, the second lead singer got terribly sick and nearly died. He captures the experiance in the song, "Without You." Recently, the lighting director for the Tour got cancer. It not an understatement to say the band comes from the school of hardknocks. Their songs feature the themes of carrying on, keep fighting, and feeling downtrodden but not giving up. When you hear the voices of Joel, the lead singer, and his brother Luke, you feel reinforced and restored. To hear men singing about keeping the faith and discribing with exact detail  the struggles we all have, it is comforting and consoling.

This blog post may be precieved as a plug, to to promote the band. I without shame will say yes it is. They have a gift from God and the sound needs to be heard by every saint; every Christian should listen to their latest album: RUN WILD, LIVE FREE, LOVE STRONG. If you cannot afford the CD or iTunes copy, the band members themselves have put up the entire album on YouTube! Yes, the entire album is offically sanctioned to be on YouTube. I will provide the links to the songs that you should hear. Please, if the music moves you in anyway, buy their album.

6. No Turning Back

There are many other songs worth sharing, but I shall stick to those listed. I hope that this music can help any believer manage the circumstances of their lives. Too often be become isolated in our problems and lose that connection. for King & Country has a gift from God to help reconnect us to the spirit of what it means to follow Christ. I know full well that there are many brillant muscians and that for King & Country is not the only means to reach the Maker; but their music is inspired by the Spirit and will uplift your spirits. So take a listen, and if you like or love it, please pick up a copy. The CD is only $9.99 at Target or download it for the same price on iTunes.

Addendum:

The sound quality is far superior if you purchase the CD. For many years people argued that Vinyl Records sounded better than CDs. Well the truth is the same with CD over digital (iTunes or YouTube). The CD of RUN WILD. LIVE FREE. LOVE STRONG. is much clearer and the drums, electric sounds, organ, bells, and all the other instruments are more pronounced and compliment the vocals. This is not to say that buying the iTunes version of the album has no merit, but I thought you should know that just listening to the YouTube cannot do the music full justice. So buy the CD and if you cannot play the CD, get the iTunes Album.

The Potrait of Jesus: What Christ Looked Like

What was Jesus’s appearance? Pseudo-historians at National Geographic and other publications argue that Jesus’ humanity was of Arab or African descent. This is impossible because Jesus our God was Son of David according to His flesh, “He promised beforehand through His prophets in the Holy Scriptures, regarding His Son, who was a descendant of David according to the flesh, and who through the Spirit of holiness was declared with power to be the Son of God by His resurrection from the dead: Jesus Christ our Lord (God),” (Romans 1:2-4), and King David was described as the following, “So he sent and brought him in. Now he was ruddy [red, ruddy, from the word admowniy {ad-mo-nee'}; from 'adam ; reddish of the hair or the complexion red, ruddy], with beautiful eyes and a handsome appearance. And the LORD said, "Arise, anoint him; for this is he. So Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the presence of his brothers, and from that day on the Spirit of the LORD came ...

Dispensationalism

John Nelson Darby (1800-1882) was a man who did two things, he took 70th week of the Book of Daniel and stretched out to the End Times, and he was the father of  Dispensationalism , a belief system that God dispenses different peoples with separate blessings and covenants. According to Darb'ys doctrine of Dispensationalism, God dispenses different covenants. There are total of seven dispensations that divide the history of man: I. Dispensation of Innocence (prior to the Fall, "Do not east of the Fruit of Good and Eve, Eden), II. Dispensation of Conscience ( You must assuage guilt and sin with blood sacrifices.) III. Dispensation of Human Government (Multiply and Subdue the world, example the Tower of Babel Gen 11:1-9, and Genesis 1:28). IV. Dispensation of the Promise (Dwell in Canaan, Jerusalem) V. Dispensation of the Law ("Obey the Law of Moses and the Prophets"). VI. Dispensation of Grace (The Church, Jesus Christ has come...

Orthodox Christianity and Messianic Judaism

There is a divide between the two sides of Christianity. One is lined by a rosary, the other with tallit (prayer shawl). In the west we tend to come from a Greco-Roman understanding of The Bible and Jesus Christ. We are saturated with images of the Crucifixion and see through the red lens of Calvary. Now The Messianic or Jewish perspective is becoming more prevalent as people begin to study the roots of the Christian faith. After all, Jesus was a Jew and his Twelve Disciples were all Jews of different sects and positions in society. By studying the Jewish roots of Jesus we come to understand the ancient customs, practices, rites, and traditions that are featured in the Old and New Testaments. We learn in Jewish tradition that a Rabbi had to be ordained by two rabbis and that when Jesus was asked, "by who's authority do you say these things?, (Luke 20:2)" the Pharisees were asking who had ordained Jesus and where he got his yoke (teachings), and Jesus responds, "wh...
