'Silent Night' by Erica Violet - A Reverent Nostalgic Blend


With Christmas approaching, it's time to revive the tunes that tune our hearts to the reason for the season, unfolding tales of God's magnificent love and his incredible gift to mankind. Erica Violet's rendition of the much-loved 'Silent Night' is one such song to treasure this season, a melodious blend of traditional charm and contemporary freshness.

Erica Violet - Silent NightRemember the hushed reverence of silent nights at church, when the soft glow of candles brought the beloved hymn to life? Erica does. She magically combines her childhood memories of candlelit Christmas Eve services with a modern sound, creating an experience that is as captivating as it is soothing.

Silent Night's familiar lines, peppered with the rhythmic charm of a 6/8 beat, convey the tranquil peace and divine light of that first Christmas night. The true gem, however, is the newly crafted bridge: a melody leading into intimate worship, a humble adoration of the child who would become our Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace.

Allow the notes and words to wash over you. Allow the melody to awaken the heavenly peace that Christmas promises, echoing the angels' song of 'Holy, Holy'. Listen, and let your heart find the peace offered by Jesus, the radiant Son of God whose birth heralds the dawn of redeeming grace.

(Related scripture: Luke 2:8-14; Isaiah 9:6; John 1:4-5)

Bryan & Katie Torwalt - Miracle In The Works (CCM)

Bryan & Katie Torwalt has released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) track called Miracle In The Works. LYRICS: Some may say it’s hopeless They must have never met my God  Some may say it’s over But it was finished on the cross Some may say it’s broken But the Healer’s in the room  Some may say it’s hopeless But I know    God’s about to move...   There’s a miracle in the works I can feel it There’s revival in the church I believe it   Some may see an ocean But He’s made a highway through Some may see a mountain  But we’ve seen a mountain move Some may see a graveyard But we’ve seen His empty tomb Some may see a battle But I know   Reignite us, reawaken Breath of God, come breathe again Like the dry bones started shaking All that died will live again  Oh the miracle You’re making The beginning not the end Eternity is waiting  To see Your church alive again   You are my miracle Jesus You are my miracle   #BryanandKatieTorw...

"Take the Wheel" by Bonnie Jean Bailey: Why Surrender Feels So Hard

What are you still holding on to instead of giving it to God?  Three in the morning has a way of exposing what we’ve been avoiding all day. Bonnie Jean Bailey knows that hour well. In her song “Take the Wheel,” she sings about the tossing and turning, being “sick and tired of all this worrying,” and bags so heavy they threaten to burst. Can you picture that? Most of us carry something similar. Possibly we don’t call it a levy as Bonnie does, but the burden isn’t less.  Bonnie points out a pattern that we need to be aware of… “Every time I try to hand it over, I take it back cuz I need control of everything.” Does this sound familiar? We pray about something that is worrying us, feel a moment of relief, and then quietly pick up the burden again an hour or so later.  Bonnie isn’t preaching from a distance here. She’s describing her own tug-of-war between fear and faith. And to be honest, that could also be my tug-of-war that she is describing. Is it also your tug-of-war a...
