So we were singing this worship song today, the one that goes, "You are good, you're good oohhh, you are good, you're good oohhh..." and I just had pop into my mind, "but He's not tame." Thank you, CS Lewis, for that memorable bit of dialog.
And it just had me thinking all through the song. Do you think that weird attraction to bad boys that so many girls have is a corrupted longing for God? Because we put so much focus on God's goodness, and we ignore that He is not *safe*. This is the God of the wild. He isn't just the one who can calm the waves... He is the one who first *created* the waves. And I just don't think we really think about or appreciate that enough.

We had a great message recently, and as the pastor got started, I could have sworn we were heading for a sing spiration instead of a Sunday morning Preaching.
I got 3 song titles right off:
Proverbs 18:10 (KJV) The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it and is safe. Strong Tower – Kutless

Here we are in week 2 of Lent. Works of charity and the promotion of justice are integral elements of the Christian way of life we began when we were baptized.
This week let’s work on charity given and mercy received.

[Music] End of the World - Kutless Ft. Disciple’s Kevin Young
Christian rock mainstay Kutless has released a concept-heavy, apocalyptic new single “End of the World.” The song features a guest vocal from Kevin Young of Disciple. You can find “End of the World” on your service of choice at https://kutless.ffm.to/endoftheworld.
The cinematic rock track offers some of the heaviest guitars from the band to date, paired with celestial tones and weighty lyrics.
“The song deals with the pain and suffering we are seeing around the world, an indictment against apathy and the refusal to help when we witness the destruction of innocent lives,” guitarist James Mead reveals. “The song ultimately turns into an evangelistic plea, asking listeners ‘do you need a miracle?’”
Full lyrics are available in the lyric video, which you can watch below.
“This is where streets run with the blood
of the beaten, the broken…
but we refuse to help them,
our doors left unopened.”
The guest vocals from Kevin Young kick in on the bridge before the song thunders to its conclusion, clocking in at just under six minutes in length. From beginning to end, “End of the World” sees Kutless pushing the boundaries of their hard rock sound to previously unexplored frontiers.
“End of the World” is the latest installment in Kutless’ comeback, a triumphant return that began in July with their nostalgic Twenty EP and later led to September’s single “Words of Fire.” The songs are the first hints of what fans can expect from a forthcoming full length album— the band’s first in over five years.
This renaissance for one of faith-based rock’s most beloved bands has also included the podcast Rock in a Hard Place. Hosted by lead singer Jon Micah Sumrall and guitarist James Mead, the podcast offers fans a glimpse into the stories and insights that have shaped Kutless’s genre-defining songs.

I forgot about all the early 00s Christian alt rock...my dad was in an unsuccessful contemporary Christian band that covered some of these tunes and also just generally listened to contemporary Christian radio and I'm like. losing my mind remembering some of these bands
Kutless – Strong Tower
Updated from Volume 25
I asked my prayer warrior friend what verse was special to her recently. This is what she gave me.
Now, remember I have been talking about how Psalms are Songs and a lot of Christian Music is based on Psalms. It is the reason I have been doing Singing Psalms for a while now, as well as the Treasury of David by Charles Spurgeon.
Psalm 61:3-4…
And BOOM! Kutless is back and harder. So glad to see this!
I truly enjoyed Kutless’ first two albums and then much like Third Day they sold out.
Hopefully they realize that there is enough fluff Christian music out there and that teens need real music with life lyrics that they can relate to!
