The Gaither Vocal Band in Ages Past
Currently listening to: a good CD. Digging back to 1990 for this one, Gaither Vocal Band — A Few Good Men.
This was before they went more in a primarily southern gospel direction. Jim Murray on tenor, Michael English on lead, Mark Lowry! on baritone, and Bill on bass. Great CD.
An item of interest, there are some guest vocalists on the title track. I always knew that, but I just looked to see who they were. The Imperials, Mylon LeFevre, and the Cathedrals. Interesting. Let’s see, Mark Trammell would have still been with the Cats then, that’s about when Ernie Haase replaced Danny Funderburk though, I wonder which one of them it was.
New Wine is track ten. Greater Vision did that song later too. I don’t like that song. Neither do I like the older GVB song (with Larnelle Harris on lead) Can’t Stop Talkin’ About Him. I don’t appreciate songs that compare the Christian life to being drunk.
My word. I didn’t know I was listening that loud. The phone rang and I didn’t even hear it. And it’s two feet away!
Anyway, I prefer their more SG stuff, but this is still a great CD.

I agree. Comparing salvation to drunkenness is a degrading thought. I would point out that, when the disciples received the Holy Spirit and began speaking in tongues, they were thought to be drunk with new wine. (Acts 2:13) Some people have used this event to justify uncontrolled behavior. I don’t see where this brings glory to God. The ones mocking the disciples did not realize what was happening, but others did. They heard the gospel in their native tongue, and realized that God had touched the disciples in a totally new way. How did you know the phone rang, anyway?

I don’t remember if the song ended or what, but I heard the answering machine kick in!
I should post an mp3 of my answering machine message.
