Transcript of the liner notes written by Pastor Bob Beeman:
Dear friend in Christ, I am excited about Barren Cross. Their vision for the ministry and their enthusiasm for the Lord is commend-able. As their pastor and friend, I have spent a lot of time with them on a spiritual level. I am impressed with their maturity in the Lord and their solid foundation in the scriptures. They not only attend my church, but are involved in teaching and counseling. Paul said he had become all things to all people that he might reach a few. Sometimes, instead of reaching out to the world, we become very successful at driving them away. When we spend more time talking about the evils of a musical style instead of rejoicing because the Word is going out, we fail the Great Commission. I have watched Barren Cross in concert many times. I have also watched many kids come to know the Lord through their ministry. I have seen them in followup and watched these same kids grow into Christian maturity. I cannot speak for every Christian rock band out there - we know there are always a few who aren't walking as closely with the Lord as they should. That is true with artists in every style of Christian music. But for Barren Cross, I can say whole heartedly that these guys are "Called" and "Anointed" to do what they do. I am proud to be a part of their ministry, and happy to recommend them to you! Pastor Bob Beeman |
