The Kingsmen – “Your Ride’s on the Way” (1982)
Though it lived in the shadow of “Live…Naturally”, this 1982 album was truly a gem. Read all about it!

It’s exciting to see Garry Jones back producing Gold City, and the current lineup is probably the best they’ve had in 20 years.

VIEWS AND COMMENTARY
Bill Gaither’s MusicScribe
“…I simply couldn’t turn down the opportunity to add Bill’s brand to our site.”
Marketing Oddities: Gaither Music
Is it fair (or even right) to list a primary artist on an album, even if they’re not performing on it?
Bill Gaither’s enLighten
Does this mean only Gaither-associated artists will be played?
SONY’S DEVOTIONS
Doubly Good to You
If you find a love that's tenderIf you find someone who's trueThank the LordHe's been doubly good to you ~Rich Mullins I write a lot about thanksgiving because, for most people, that is not their normal bent. We can receive praise all day long, but it's the person...
We Are So Blessed
We are so blessed by the things You have done,The victories we've won, and what You've brought us through.We are so blessed; take what we have to bring.Take it all everything. Lord, we bring it to you.. If you think about it, the first couple lines of this verse...
Listen to Our Hearts
When words are not enough to tell you of our love Listen to our hearts I've realized lately that "I love you" often sounds insufficient to express how I feel about the people I love. How much harder is it to tell my Savior how much I love Him! I'm glad that the Spirit...
Pray for the Persecuted Church
Voice of the Martyrs has called an International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church today and throughout the month of November. I don't think it was coincidental that my daily Bible reading this morning was Psalm 70. As I read the Psalms, my focus is typically on...
How about You?
In the Bible study Experiencing God, the question was asked, "What did God do to draw you to Himself, specifically?" The answer that popped into my head as I pondered this was a line from an old Happy Goodman Family song: "I came through tribulation. How about you?"...
Pursue Righteousness
Flee also youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart. ~2 Timothy 2:22 When you think of lust, the first thing that probably pops into your mind is that of a man lusting after a woman, but lust can...
He Brought Me Through
He brought me through Praise God, He brought me through He's done everything my Lord said He would do Through impossibilities, He's given victory He'll do the same for you; He brought me through. (as sung by Gold City on their Pillars of Faith CD) It didn't come to...
Are You Ready to Go?
Life is moving faster than it ever has before What tomorrow brings us isn't certain any more I grew up listening to this song from Evie, but I will say if this was true back in the 1970s, it's even more true now. Scrolling through Facebook, I caught an old Gaither...
God Will Provide
I am in awe of God's mercy and goodness, but I'm also reminded that "to whom much is given, much is required" (Luke 12:48). God doesn't elevate a person so that the person can become a big shot. Everything He does is so HE can get glory. If you are in ministry, you...
Jesus Is the Resurrection!
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life; the one who believes in Me will live, even if he dies. ~John 11:25 This morning, I'm thinking of two friends who passed away recently. One was a church greeter who used to greet us on Easter morning with the...
