Soundtrack To Your Life

…be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord… -Apostle Paul

Music religious heat inspires, it wakes the soul, and lifts it high, and wings it with sublime desires, and fits it to bespeak the Deity. -Joseph Addison

Music is extremely important and extremely powerful. You can look at the music that you listen to as being the soundtrack to your life. Not only does your music reflect your life...it profoundly shapes your life. That's why we need to be deliberate about the music that we listen to. If you are attempting to live a life of worship, then I would suggest that you listen to worship music.

Here are some of my current favorites...

Israel & New Breed

In my opinion, Israel is THE leader in cross-cultural worship today. His albums are both deep and fun. Alive in South Africa is his latest...it's a must have (like all his others.)

Hillsong United

United albums are full of excitement and passion for God. They are good for worship and a work-out. United We Stand is their latest, but Look to You is my favorite.

David Crowder Band

If you are a bit on the abstract side (like myself) then David Crowder is for you. He’s quite out of the box.

I have never heard of the first one, but i do like the second and third and listen to them often. You're right about the third, he is a bit out of the box, but he's very good!
