Ross King: Perhaps I've Said Too Much

Ross King has just released his latest CD and I would encourage anyone reading this to go buy it here. (While you are there buy an extra copy or two for a friend or neighbor)

Ross is a Spirit-filled follower of Jesus who happens to write some of the greatest songs I have heard. This album touches on many of the dangers of lifeless, rote Christianity and confronts the American version of Christianity that looks quite different then what one sees in the life of Jesus. There are also some beautiful songs about his wife (Staci) and kids (Sam and Jude).

The music and lyrics are a true treat and carefully listen and digest the songs slowly. There is so much honesty, wisdom, humility, conviction, love, and God-honoring things said on this album. I think a big part of this album is Ross talking about how many people in the church are enslaved to traditions and programs and his message is one of freedom. It's a call to embrace the vibrant, Spirit-filled life and to it's a plea for Christians to truly love one another. It's also a cry for the Church to be a place that is safe and a place where honestly and authenticity occurs.

OK, I'm beginning to tell too much and my summary is not doing much justice. Go buy the CD and begin the journey.
