Have You Ever Heard the Good News' by Michelle: Sharing the Hope of Salvation


Michelle releases a new song called "Have You Ever Heard the Good News". The process of creating this song started back in October 2019, after dreaming about writing a salvation song. The song was put aside for years, until recently, when she felt that God was telling her that it was time. 

Michelle - Have You Ever Heard the Good NewsThe song has an incredible backstory: two dreams that realigned her music, to music with a divine message. Originally, Michelle was writing songs about her own experiences in the military, but God had other plans for her music. In a dream, she received three words: 'RADIO. PRECEDENCE. SALVATION.' She felt God was telling her to prioritize on sharing the good news of salvation on the radio.

In another dream, she heard the layout of this song, and it felt like God had given her instructions on how to put the song together. She heard the song with an orchestra of music, a female gospel choir, and herself singing, with a crowd of people singing in harmony. But the timing wasn't right. Years later, Michelle felt inspired to record this song, interrupting the work she was doing with her producer on another short album.

The song is about Jesus Christ dying for our sins so that if we believe in him we can have eternal life. The lyrics, 'Have you ever heard the good news? How God sent his only Son to die for you?', making this song a very personal invitation to experience the overwhelming love and grace of Jesus Christ. We know that that we are far from perfect and, despite that, God had a plan to save us. Michelle sings, 'Jesus Christ prophesied to be the King of the world, Jesus Christ crucified for the sins of the world,' the core foundation of our faith.

The chorus, 'Hallelujah, I believe in you,' is a great way to express the joy we have in our faith, a joy that we may also share with others, a message of hope that changes lives. Just like this song starts small, this message once started as a spark of hope in your heart, igniting a fire that continues to develop and grow, changing your life, and has the potential of bringing hope to people around you. Hope that continues to grow when you ask others, 'Have you heard the good news?'

Don't miss out on this blessing - give Michelle's 'Have You Ever Heard the Good News' a listen today.

"Soon and Very Soon" by Robby Robinson: Why This Classic Still Hits Like the First Time

What if one song could carry the weight of every hardship you've ever faced, and still leave you smiling? That's exactly what Andraé Crouch accomplished in 1978 when he wrote "Soon and Very Soon," and this new recording by Robby Robinson, Tony Galla, and Ray Reynolds makes sure you feel every bit of it.  The song is based on Revelation 21:3–4, reminding us of what's coming: no more crying, no more dying, just the glorious moment we finally see the King. Simple words, but it carries a profound promise.  Crouch was honest about the journey. There are "rivers we must cross" and "mountains we must climb." He emphasizes the truth that faith doesn't erase our struggles — it sustains us through them. God, as the lyrics remind us, will "supply all the strength that we need."   Featuring powerhouse vocalists Tony Galla and Ray Reynolds, Robinson blends this classic gospel energy with a rich, Hammond-organ-driven groove. Rather than a slow...

"Going Outta My Mind" by Fisher of Men: He Challenges You to Stop Living for Yourself

(by Jasper Tan) "Going Outta My Mind" by Fisher of Men is a modern indie pop CCM song that focuses on the suffocating nature of being self-centered, rather than being freed by the truth of God's love. With the lines "Yeah I've been livin' in my head too long, spinnin' every little worry like a broken song," it quickly establishes our tendency to dwell on our problems. And once we get in too deep with it, we more often than not get drowned by the darkness it brings. These intrusive thoughts are not healthy for us. And the only way to break free from these thoughts is to acknowledge and receive God's love, and place your problems in His care.  A simple "tap" by Jesus is all that it takes to be set free from this cycle of darkness. But the question is, are we ready to acknowledge it and let go? Jesus is always there ready to offer His help. He's always there ready to offer His friendship. Are we ready to receive it? Are we ready for H...

"Holy Forever" by Stephanie Staples: When Music Becomes an Offering

(by Jasper Tan) Stephanie Staples has just recently released her own rendition of Chris Tomlin’s recent critically acclaimed worship song “Holy Forever”. For this version, Stephanie transforms this song into a soulful and reverent version of this classic hit. While Tomlin’s version is more grandiose and soaring, Stephanie’s version feels more grounded and meditative. Leaning on her more emotive expression of the song, this version offers an alternative listen to a song that is well loved by this generation of Christian worshippers. Just like Tomlin’s original version, "Holy Forever" themes gives focus on eternal worship and the unchanging dominion of Jesus Christ over us. The song gives reverence to the value and the importance of having Jesus in our life. Our continued reverence and submission to him is crucial in our quest to know him more and understand how his presence in our life transforms us to become better Christians. Foremost to this is accepting the fact that Jesus...
