'Love Better' by Presence Music Band: A Call to True Christian Love


Presence Music Band's new song, 'Love Better,' is a call to have a closer look at how you love others. The band shares: 'We had the hook for love better in our heads for years, but we were really committed (or stuck) in the vertical “Sunday Morning” worship genre during that time so didn’t want to finish or release the song.' The band finally finished the song the night before flying to Atlanta to wrap up their album.

Presence Music Band - Love BetterWhat's intriguing is that up to four band members have been church staff pastors, witnessing firsthand how churches sometimes focus on minor differences rather than becoming more like Jesus.

“Love Better” is a wake-up call, a reminder of what Jesus called the second greatest commandment: 'love your neighbor as yourself'. Not an emotional love, but love as a verb, where we are asked to lay down our judgments, open up our hearts, and treat people with diginity and respect.

The song starts with the words: 'We’ve become each other’s enemy... But there's only one remedy.' It highlights the fact that most people tend to focus on conflicts instead of the love that God freely gives each of us. The chorus urges us to let love overflow, touching the hearts of the broken, the outcast, and those who feel unworthy. It's a call to action, to love better, until every heart has changed.

Why isn't love our go-to response? That is what the second verse is about. The lyrics urge us to lead people to God’s word rather than throwing stones at them. The bridge reminds us of Jesus’ sacrifice and how this should reflect on our own actions.

This song it's beautiful message. Listen to 'Love Better' and may it inspire you to act with more grace and compassion.

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...
