“For God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” 2nd Timothy 1:7
They are not “just another group” making a record. They are studio musicians; having sung back-up on a lot of other WORD records. They are music majors from Baylor University. They are seasoned one-nighters. (Their own jaunts as well as part of Continental Ministries tours.)
AND, they are uniquely self-contained … do their own directing, writing and arranging.
From a musical standpoint, they are dedicated perfectionists. From a ministry viewpoint, ther want to be used as GOD directs them and to have a share in bringing people to Christ and in blessing the Lord and His people.
Musician or not, you’ll enjoy listening to SPIRIT OF LOVE and if you happen to be musical, then feast!
