I was listening to 4Him's "Great Awakening" and thought how cool it would be to experience a revival? Not where a person or two come to the Lord, but thousands. A Peter-on-the-steps-of-the-temple kind of revival. An Edwards or Finney kind of revival. The kind where you look out the window and people walking by spontaneously break out in song, dancing in the Spirit, prophetic proclamations. Business meetings turn into prayer and confession; everyone extolling praise for the Lord.

Then I look honestly at myself and question if I would truly find it cool or not. New believers, especially thousands of new believers, exhibit a zeal that I could find threatening in my complacency. I realize I need revival as much as any unbeliever. Within all of us exists unbelief that God wants to revive into solid belief. We're all potential for revival. A great awakening among the wakeful dozers.

Now THAT would be cool.

Yes, I listen to 4-Him. They can sing and sing well. We even attended their farewell concert.

I confess that I find the Z to be practically unlistenable. Not only do they have the most obnoxious DJ (and I thought we had gotten rid of her when she moved, but no such luck) they play, like, three songs over and over again. Bad songs. Songs that seem to try and find new, flat, atonal notes with sandpapered throats.

Christian pop has finally found their own style. It's a bad style. It sounds terrible, but it's their own and they're welcome to it.

Why, who do you listen to?
