Comment:
I have had the pleasure to meet and play with Rory and his wife in Houston at a recent concert in Baytown,Tx. I knew no history of them previously, but had a sense of something "different" in both he and Jeni. I, too, am a christian and a musician and the words shared in this article resonate loudly in my own testimony. I have felt these same things regarding the relationship of christian music and the church. It seems that the "church" at large and "we" as a community of christians just seem to naturally create this duality. In the quest for creating something that is to increase the "kingdom" and more "tools" to expand ministry we end up creating things that ultimately glorify the "church" and not God. We have larger bulidings, larger congrgations, bigger productions, etc... but they tend to scare and intimidate non-christians rather than bring them to the loving arms of Christ. I am excited to see another christian brother living his daily life for Christ and not afraid to go "outside" of the church walls and do what may be interpreted by some to be "worldly", but in fact live in the world showing how a christian lives his life follwing Christ and glorifying God with all of it's ups and downs. It was a pleasure to meet and work with Rory and Jeni.
