One of the biggest and most popular duos in Christian music, For King + Country, has released an updated version of their hit single, “What Are We Waiting For?”

Most people want to make a positive difference and impact the world around them. However, those same people will claim they aren’t sure where to start or what to do. The world is a lost and broken place. People are hurting and struggling all around us. There are needs literally everywhere.

Christians are to be the hands and feet of Christ by showing our fellow man love and kindness. A simple and seemingly insignificant act of kindness could change someone’s day and possibly life. So, the question remains: what are we waiting for?

The popular and talented brother duo posted an updated dance version of their massive hit “What Are We Waiting For?” on their YouTube channel. This new version of their hit song is labeled as the “Gregatron Remix.”

“What are we praying for?
What are we saving for?
What if we could be the light that no one could ignore?
What are we waiting for?”

The song has become even catchier than the original with the added dance beats and increased tempo. This one will surely get stuck in your head. You’ll find yourself humming this tune hours after you last heard it. 

We all have limited time on Earth, and no one is promised tomorrow. Our act of kindness and showing someone Christlike love may be the only way to reach someone and expose them to Jesus. We may be the only way someone hears or learns about His message of love, mercy, grace and forgiveness. 

Again, as the song points out, what are we waiting for? 

Luke 10:2 “Then he said to them, ‘The harvest is indeed plentiful, but the laborers are few. Pray, therefore, to the Lord of the harvest, that he may send out laborers into his harvest.”

A group of unbelievably talented vocalists, the Goodman Revival, turned in an upbeat, energetic and stunning performance of ‘I Wouldn’t Take Nothing For My Journey Now.”

Everyday living can be a stressful and overwhelming experience. Most people live busy and hurried lives, full of distractions and temptations. Those are things that, if not careful, can easily take our eyes off Jesus Christ and lead us off the straight and narrow.

In a clip posted on YouTube, the group members belt out the lyrics about avoiding the temptations and pitfalls of life and keeping the focus on Christ and our ultimate destination: Heaven. 

The chorus perfectly captures the song’s message about the temptations everyone faces in life but how remaining strong and committed to Christ is the only way to live life.

“Well, I wouldn’t take nothing for my journey now
Gotta make it to Heaven somehow
Though the devil tempt me and tried to turn me around 
He’s offered everything that’s got a name”

In addition to being a tune full of truth about God’s love and blessings and avoiding temptations, the song is incredibly catchy. It’s a track that will get stuck in your head, and you’ll find yourself humming it hours after you last heard it.

Everyone faces temptations in one form or fashion. Even Jesus Christ, during his time on Earth, was taken out into the desert and was tempted by Satan. So, even Christ understands what it means to be tempted and offered an alternative route and path from the one that leads to Heaven and eternal life. 

Unfortunately, many people relent and give in to temptations that can and will ultimately destroy their lives, sending them to places they never imagined. But if we hold on and focus on Jesus Christ and the things of Heaven, everlasting life awaits.

Praise God!

1 Corinthians 10:13 “You have been put to no test but such as is common to man: and God is true, who will not let any test come on you which you are not able to undergo; but he will make with the test a way out of it, so that you may be able to go through it.”

One of the biggest names in the Christian music scene, Matthew West, performs a beautiful tune about the importance of continued and earnest prayer with “Don’t Stop Praying.”

Life and all its worries, stresses and burdens can be overwhelming. Situations and circumstances throughout life will test and stretch our faith. Some may even get to the point where they feel that no matter how much they pray and reach out to God, nothing changes. They may feel their prayers are in vain and God is not listening.

However, that is not the case at all. Even when He appears absent and not listening, He is still working on our behalf. He is still in control and on the throne. 

In his song “Don’t Stop Praying,” Matthew reminds followers of Christ about the importance of fervent and continued prayer. God is still capable of performing miracles. God can inject hope into a situation that appears void of hope. He can and will do miracles. We must keep praying and communicating with Him.

“Don’t stop believing
‘Cause mountains move with just a little faith
And your Father’s head every single word you’re saying
So, don’t stop praying”

What an uplifting and encouraging tune, with a message for anyone and everyone about the importance of prayer. Whether you’ve followed the Lord for decades or are a new Christian just starting on their walk with Him or maybe you don’t know the Lord at all, prayer and talking to Him will change your heart, life and situation. 

Praying and communicating with the Lord is an activity Christians should be engaged in daily, even several times a day. Throughout the Bible God’s word stresses the importance of praying and bringing our needs and requests to Him. 

God wants to hear from us. He listens to our prayers. As Matthew’s song mentions, God hears every word. 

Philippians 4:6 “Have no cares, but in everything with prayer and praise put your request before God.”

David Döring brings us a beautiful performance of ‘Sitting at the Feet of Jesus’ using the pan flute. While this rendition does not include any spoken words, you can hear them in your head as you follow along with his music. 

“Bless me, O my Savior, bless me
As I sit low at Thy feet
Oh, look down in love upon me
Let me see Thy face so sweet”

These beautiful lyrics are based on the scripture, Luke 10:39, “She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet listening to what he said” when Mary is sitting at the foot of Jesus, listening to what he has to say. The song can remind us of how important it is to listen to Jesus, even in our modern times. He is there for us, and always has something important for us to hear. 

It’s always a lovely thing to learn that a song or hymn comes directly from the Bible itself. It is a great way to remember verses from the Bible and a reminder of what the Word of God has to say. 

David’s performance is among the background of a gorgeous landscape as he sits on a rock performing the song. Watching him play makes you want to sit and listen to the music and reminds you of being in nature. 

David is a German performer who according to his Bio on YouTube, started his musical journey with the violin at age six. At age 12 he started playing the pan flute and has been performing with it exclusively ever since. The pan flute is a musical instrument that is based on a closed tube and is made up of multiple pipes of different lengths. He focuses on playing Christian and popular music for the world to hear.

One of the biggest acts in the Christian music scene, Newsboys, is back with a catchy, upbeat and toe-tapping tune about how to change and make an impact on the world.

Everyone wants to live a life full of meaning, achieving and accomplishing things in the time God has given us on earth. Ultimately, all want their life and time on earth to have impacted the world for good in some form or fashion. However, making that impact and creating lasting change can feel like a daunting and insurmountable task.

But changing the world is much easier than most people believe or realize. In the official lyric video posted on YouTube, Newsboys sing “That’s How You Change the World,” a tune that informs listeners that all are capable of making a positive impact in this fallen world. Christ was the perfect example, showing us all how to do this. 

“It’s the prayer in an empty room
Little things we do when nobody’s around 
A hand reaching out to a heart in doubt
It’s the smallest spark that can light the dark”

The world is a broken and lost place full of people who are hurting and struggling. Those damaged and wounded people are all around us - our family members, friends and neighbors. They are looking for the tiniest sign of hope.  

As the musicians state, praying and reaching out to the Lord on their behalf can soothe whatever hurt or sorrow they are experiencing. A smile to someone who feels no one cares or notices them could brighten their day, week or life. Spending time listening to and conversing with someone could mean the world to them. 

Being the hands and feet of Christ by showing others unexpected love and kindness can and will impact change. Often, people believe that to bring about change, there must be some grand, sweeping gesture that is recognized by millions. But that’s not the case at all. 

Big change usually starts with a small gesture. 

1 John 4:8 “He who doesn’t love doesn’t know God, for God is love.”

A group of immensely talented vocalists turned in an awe-inspiring and moving performance of the beloved hymn “Shall We Gather at the River?”

Life is often not an easy or fair experience. It was never promised to be that way. In fact, Jesus, in the New Testament book of John, stated that it would be the exact opposite for those who love and follow Him. People, especially true believers and followers of Christ’s teachings, would be hated by the world, Jesus said.

However, Christ also promises those who love, follow and profess with their mouth and believe in their heart that He is Lord would experience everlasting life with Him. Something much greater than anything that this world has to offer awaits Christians. 

In a clip posted on YouTube, a group of musicians sings a tune about what Christians have to look forward to. They make mention of walking where angels have previously stepped and standing near a crystal-clear river that passes by the throne of the Prince of Peace and the Everlasting Father.

“Shall we gather at the river
Where bright angel feet have trod
With its crystal tide forever
Flowing by the throne of God?”

It’s quite simply a dazzling vocal performance, with a handful of musicians who put their musical talent on full display. Their voices fit perfectly together as they belt out the lovely lyrics about the future and the river that awaits the followers of Christ Jesus. 

Not only do they expertly and beautifully belt out the lyrics, but the musical arrangement is fantastic. Even those not typically fans of classical music will appreciate the skill and talent involved. It’s a lovely and captivating rendition that is easily worth more than a handful of listens. 

Well done to all the musicians who helped pull off this dazzling cover!

John 15:18 “If you are hated by the world, keep in mind that I was hated by the world before you.”

Legendary entertainer Ray Stevens stopped by Larry’s Country Diner and turned in an inspired and upbeat performance of "If Jesus is a Stranger (Check your Circle of Friends).”

In a chaotic world of uncertainty, hurt and heartache, friends are valuable. Those people can and will become individuals to lean on and depend upon when life becomes overwhelming and unbearable. They will be a shoulder to cry on during times of pain and sorrow. But thankfully, there is One who sticks closer than a friend who never leaves nor forsakes us during our time of need.

In a clip posted on YouTube, Ray Stevens sings about the need to embark on a friendship with Jesus Christ. He also warns that if you aren’t already acquainted with the Savior of the world, you desperately need to reexamine your life and friendships. 

“I ain’t no saint, 
But I know I’ve seen the light
And I’m giving you warning in a friendly sort of way
That He will be coming back someday”

The rest of the song is a warning to those who don’t know Jesus Christ. He also states that for those who may have strayed from the straight and narrow path, there is still time to change their ways and turn back to the Lord.

Ray, about halfway through the clip, belts out likely the most important line of his truth-filled song. One day, all will face judgment and answer for their lives on Earth. On that day, Ray sings, who you know and who your friends are will not matter unless you know Him.

Christ’s love, grace and forgiveness are gifts for all who call upon His name. 

Why wait? Today is the perfect day to start a friendship, a relationship with Jesus Christ. 

Romans 10:9 “Because, if you say with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and have faith in your heart that God has made him come back from the dead, you will have salvation.”
