 Yes.  This Psalm and the other 149 have been set to music for the purpose
 of congregational singing in the _Book of Psalms_ of the Reformed
 Presbyterian Church in North America, and in the _Psalter Hymnal_ of the
 Christian Reformed Church.   I think it can also be found in the _Trinity
 Hymnal_ of the Orthodox Presbyterian Church and the Presbyterian Church
 in America.  

 Also, Glad recorded a verision of Psalm 121 on their first album, as I
 recall.

 Singing the Psalms (not just a few phrases from one) in congregational
 worship is great!  I highly recommend it.

I seem to recall that line being from a Larry Norman song titled "The Great
American Dream" from Only Visiting This Planet...not to disagree with the 
reader who recalls it being from another song...Larry did re-use bits of
song from time to time.

TGAM began, "I was born and raised an orphan, in a land that once was free,
             In a land that poured it's love out on the moon;
             And I grew up in the shadows of your silos filled with grain,
             But you never helped to fill my empty spoon."

Hello everybody!

I just bought myself the tape 'Redeemed' by Larry Howard.  It is
excellent music, together with very good lyricks.  His message
is clear and to the point - he does not seem ashamed of the name
of Jesus!

If you are looking for good quality lead quitar and enjoyable
music, get this tape.

Yours in Christ

Christian band ministry.  I've been a Christian for 7 years and I 
feel that, with God's guidance, I could minister effectively.. but it

Last Sunday at church they asked us to go stand in the rain and hold
a sign as part of life chain..... so I went.  While we were out there
a lady came by with this big box of tickets to a Annie Herrin (sp?)
from 2nd Chapter of Acts (ret.). 

This pro-life-rally/concert was last night, so I went.  This was
very enjoyable.  I really hadn't thought much about the group (oh
how fickle) in a long time.  I did manage to tune into a an interview
with her (so how is retirement?) on a christian talk show: on the mark
with Mark Gilman I think.

I zipped up to the booths and bought '20' a best of, 2 CD set.  I
played the "blue CD" last night and the production quality didn't
seem that hot: volume was low and the recording seemed flat.
But they do have this neat little book that tells the story of
2nd chapter of Acts and that was run reading.

At the rally they said they planned to be touring the country.  They
expect to be in Richmond VA in two weeks.  The rally was sponsored
by American Life League so you could contact them for further info.

Hold on a minute! Must disagree! Not true! I love 88! That song based on 1 John 
2: 16 is on that tape (What is the name of it? "The Lusts, The Flesh, The Eyes,
The Pride of Life"?). Listening to that was the closest I could get to being
at the Cornerstone festival this summer. Since it wasn't mine, it wasn't very
satisfying, but it helped.

I agree.  At the Christmas season in 1986, a radio staion 75 miles away  
played this and I recorded it.  I have been looking for it in stores  
(Christian and secular) for 6 years and have never found it.  If it's on CD,  
I'd really like to know.  Anyone want to sell their LP?  If not, I'll keep

2)  A friend of mine was as some kind of a get together, when she said that

On the one hand this sort of news is very sad.
It could be depressing, but...

I really feel like God's cleaning house.  Too
much has gone on for too long, and He's dealing
with it.  It looks like a blow for Christianity
on the surface, but it's only a blow to hypocrisy
or to totally misguided people.

I'm always sad to hear this sort of thing, but
if people are gonna do this sort of thing, I
want them out.

I'm glad most of the recent major exposes, such
as Mike Warnke have come from within the church;
we don't have a lot of integrity left with the
world.  Better we should clean house than let
them do it.

Enough with the soapbox.  I probably should
have first asked if this guy was a Christian
or just a hot producer, huh?

Well?

Kings X fans or hopefully soon to be fans... heres that info

The powerful texas trio is comprised of bassist/vocalist Doug Pinick,
guitar/back vocals Ty Tabor, and drums/back vocals Jerry Gaskill. They hail
form the Huston TX area and are managed by Sam Taylor (ZZ Top). 

The band arose form the failed bands of each member.  Both Pinick and Gaskill
were in Petra for a short time, but never recorded with the band.  They parted
ways and Pinick became involved in Servent with Matt Spransey and a hot
guitarist by the name of Ty Tabor.  The progress sounding band didn't last
long recording only 2 (? possible more canadian releases) records with Myrrh.

Tabor and Pinick joined forces and together with Gaskill they formed the Edge
before being dicovered by Sam Taylor.  They shaped their sound , got a new name
and after a performance at the famed New Music Seminar in N.Y. they  signed
with Megaforce records. 

The bands first release was OUT OF THE SILENT PLANET.  The title taken from a
book by christain author C.S. Lewis. Then came the magically GRETCHEN GOES TO
NEBRAKSA.  Followed by FAITH, HOPE, LOVE BY KING"S X. Then came last years
magnum opus KING'S X.  

The band has a video out called CHRONICLES.  It is a collection of all their
videos and is quite a spectacle.  

If I can anwser any more questions or if somebody has additional info post it
...

by the way if you like the Kings' X sound but you like a little harder styled
music then check out the GALACTIC COWBOYS new album.
