Living Sacrifice - Reject
Today’s Video Flashback is from a metal band most of would consider to be “Legends” of the music scene. They have a rich history and talent that many bands half their age wish they possessed. Many will argue about which Living Sacrifice album is their favorite and even my personal preference is slowly changing. Discuss this great band and their many contributions to the music scene, below. By the way, the song is “Reject” from the “Reborn” album (1997 Solid State Records).… Continued →

Metaphysical Monday: Gluttony
Last week was the first article in a series of what I like to call the “Unsexy Biblical Principles.” That article looked at the biblical principle of stewardship. This week, we’ll look at a different biblical concept that may not be so popular currently in our churches: Gluttony.
Webster’s defines gluttony as “excessive eating and drinking,” which will be one aspect we’ll examine about gluttony. But since this is a music site and since we’re all absolutely stoked on music, we’ll look at gluttony as it pertains to what we ingest artistically and more specifically, musically.… Continued →
Beloved - Aimless Endeavor
Today’s Video Flashback is the track “Aimless Endeavor” from the band Beloved off their 2003 Solid State release, “Failure On”. This band really perfected a style that is so prevalent in today’s music scene, yet they did it almost 10 years ago. The band was short lived however, releasing only an ep through Vindicated Records (later re-released by Solid State) and the one full length “Failure On”.… Continued →

Off the Record - Death of Me
I am giving you a double dose of Video Flashback today since it’s Saturday and I am sure many of us are bored 😉 Today’s Video Flashback is from the band Off the Record. This band released one album on Tooth & Nail Records (Remember When) before splitting and then signed with New School Records. They released a full length “Mulligan” (2002) and their finest release to date the “Nothing New” ep which released in 2004. This band had that So. Cal. skate punk sound down and really started going places with their last and final ep.… Continued →
Black Eyed Sceva - Justified
Today’s Video Flashback is from 90’s alt-rock band, Black Eyed Sceva for their song “Justified” from the album “Way Before the Flood” (1995 Five Minute Walk Records). Video is a little grainy as it appears someone either recorded from a VHS or filmed their TV. This band still ranks high on my list of favorite acts from the 90’s in the Christian rock scene. They released “Way Before the Flood” and an EP before changing their name to “Model Engine” and then released “Lean Years Tradition” in 97′.… Continued →

Stavesacre - An Eclipsing
Today’s Video Flashback is actually a double dose and comes in the form of two song froms Stavesacre. The song/video for “An Eclipsing” appeared on the band’s second album for Tooth & Nail titled “Absolutes” (1997). The second song/video is “It’s Beautiful Once You’re Out Here” off the 2006 release “How to Live With a Curse” (Abacus/Century Media). There is almost a 10 year break between these two videos so I thought i’d give you a double shot of awesome.

Metaphysical Monday: Monetary Stewardship
One aspect of biblical Christianity that doesn’t get very much attention is the discipline of stewardship. So today begins a series of MM articles on what I like to call “Unsexy Biblical Principles.”
Stewardship is defined as “the responsible overseeing and protection of something considered worth caring for and preserving.” With this definition, we can apply the concept of stewardship to almost all areas of life. For instance, if you have skills at soccer, those skills were given to you originally by God and you are the steward of those skills. … Continued →
