The Kingsmen – “The Judgement” (1989)
With some personnel changes happening in the Kingsmen, “The Judgement” was a bit of a transitional recording for the Kingsmen, yielding one of their most unique and most remembered songs in their entire repertoire! Check out my review, and let me know your thoughts!
The Kingsmen – “Anchors Aweigh” (1988)
After 3 live albums in a row, the Kingsmen were back into the studio recording a new stellar studio album, “Anchors Aweigh”. Though recorded in the studio, it still embodied that classic, exciting Kingsmen sound. Check it out…

VIEWS AND COMMENTARY
Release Oddities: Gaither Vocal Band – “New Star Shining”
Another example of how streaming has impacted the music industry.
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?

Deliver Us from Evil
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. ~Matthew 6:13 This past week, a man that we used to attend church with was murdered. This has brought up the age-old discussion of, If God could have stopped it, why didn't He? There are things we will never...
Love Them While You Can
In October of 2022, my brother and I were driving home from a speaking event when I realized it wouldn't be very far out of the way to visit a widow friend that I hadn't seen in a few years. I knew my brother would be eager to get home to his family, but I broached...
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?"...
According to Your Word
And Mary said, “Behold, I am the servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her. ~Luke 1:38 I confess that I do not like it when things don't go my way. I may not scream and throw things, but I struggle just the same. I...
A Famine of Knowledge
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for Me. ~Hosea 4:6 "Behold, the days are coming," says the Lord God, "That I will send a famine on the land, Not a famine of bread, Nor a...
Praise God Even in Adversity
Nebuchadnezzar was a king that God used to punish the Israelites when they had turned their back on Him once again. Instead of acknowledging the God who had given him this position, the king boasted of his abilities until one day God had enough. This arrogant being...
