I saw her perform the song on TV a couple weeks ago...I was flicking
channels, then stopped on that song.  It was indeed very moving.  I
really don't like country music, but this piece was great!  I was really
blown away towards the end when she turned around, raised her hands in
the air, then a curtain opened up, revealing a huge choir which then started
belting out the chorus.  Very powerful watching it!

Later..
Dave.

Freedom is definitely an excellent album, and well worth purchasing, but
if you would like to get a greater range of White Heart's material, I would
have to recommend their _Souvenirs_ album.  It contains songs from _Freedom_,
 _Emergency Broadcast_, _Don't Wait For The Movie_, and perhaps most 
importantly, it has "Little Drummer Boy" from their _Christmas_ album.

	I don't care for RAP, I'm a metal fan, but I have an 8 year old son that really only listens to either my metal or his RAP.  

	My son told me a while back that he heard Hammer confessed publicly his faith.  I told him to let's wait and see what his next album sounds like before making any purchases.  Well, I guess it's time... ,but before I buy this, can anyone answer this question for me:  

Would you sit down with Jesus and play the new Hammer album _To_Legit_to_Quit_? and Why?  

Please bare with me on your replys.  I do not follow RAP music and I believe this news group to be a valuable source of info.

Thanks in advance!!

I find it hard to agree with this statement. Although  it is obvious that
Amy Grant is singing to a secular audience, I don't think that she is doing
the "same thing" Jesus did. 

JESUS DIDN'T STOP TALKING ABOUT GOD WHEN HE WENT OUT INTO THE WORLD!!

Now, I'm not saying that what Amy Grant is doing is wrong or right. I think
though that all these comparisons to what Jesus don't  hold up under close 
scrutiny.

I don't know if I would go that far... :-)  Intolerant, perhaps.  Inane ?

I've posted these thoughts before more or less, but the AG subject comes up
an awful lot.

If you're offended by Heart In Motion, please keep in mind that it was
not produced for you.  Neither did Jesus generally go out of his way to
talk with the Pharisees.

Heart in Motion is definitely the most Christian album I have ever seen.
It is not the most holy album.  It is not the most Godly album.  But
it is definitely the most CHRISTian album I know of.  Jesus Christ
acted in his day very much as Amy Grant has been acting lately.  He
brought a beautiful message to the general public in a very simple way
that they understood.  He offended virtually all of the religious
people of the day.  Only those who were willing to reexamine their
habits and traditions truly appreciated and embraced his message.  In
many ways, Heart In Motion is very similar.

If you don't like it, I recommend you listen to something a bit more
directed towards Christians.  Michael Card springs to mind.

All the above is just my opinion.

BTW, the presence of the Holy Spirit at her concert here in Champaign
was absolutely staggering.  I believe the demons were barred from the
door of the Assembly Hall that night ! :-)

   I can't believe I'm hearing this!!!  How can you people call yourselves

     The thing we should eat is Manna, because it is blatantly Christian food.
     I am aghast that anyone would consider eating anything else!!!

Shame on you! Everybody knows that since the only reference to manna in the
Bible is in the Old Testament, that it is a Jewish food, not a Christian
one. I suggest that you notify your lawyers that there will be a fight over
this one (be warned though, the Jews have got God as they're lawyer :^)

believe me, it's not that hard to not know anything about Christian music
as a youth, even if you are active.  I didn't even know such a thing as
Christian music (besides Acapella and sorta Petra and Stryper...maybe
Amy Grant) existed until I got to college and started thinking "wouldn't
it be cool if there were some bands that made the types of music that I
like, but didn't have such blatently annoying lyrics?" (the music was punk,
thrash, and industrial, for those who care)  The only way I started 
getting exposure to the bands was just by having enough interest to go
into a Christian book store and look at the cassettes/CDs and try to find
something that struck my eye. (I didn't typically go into Christian book
stores.)  After a bad guess or two, I finally struck on some bands that
were cool, and the rest......
So, now I feel like I have a fairly decent knowledge in the area of 
alternative Christian music, and I hope to share it with people so that
they can see that it exists and is a viable, interesting alternative.
That when I say "heavy metal Christian band" I don't mean something
musically like Lawrence Welk with an upbeat tempo. :)  

but what do I know? :)

	Whoaaa.  There's a kid in my youth group that LOVES that song, and
	he played it for me one time.  It's really good, you are right
	(he even showed me how to do your hands with the song :-).

	I *HATE* asking this, but:  Did Hammer convert, or was he always
	a Christian rapper?

	The reason I hate to ask this, is because, in all actuality, it
	REALLY DOESN'T MATTER to me, and I am in full support of what
	everybody has been saying about making a big deal over what's
	"Christian Rock", and what isn't.

	However, I can't help but be *really* curious, so, if someone could
	answer this question, I would be appreaciative.

	Thanks in advance,

	Gary B.
