I seem to have a lot in common with a lot of your readers. I've seen John Mark McMillian,John Mayer,Avett Brothers,and Bon Iver mentioned in the comments. These artist write great,moving,life-pushing music. I would have to say my song would be "How He Loves" by John Mark McMilian. At the end of my story,as well as at this point,I'm nothing without the love of God. Even if it was just me,Jesus still would have died to show his love. Love is such a popular and almost cliche topic in songs.But I love the lyrics and melody of this anthemic piece of music.

Hi Becki, Thanks for weighing in.

Comment on Believers in Exile. A New Christian Diaspora? by Becki

I am new to Ian's writing and therefore new to this website and this conversation. It is interesting, however, and I want to say something to Milli about the "spare the rod"/paddle gift situation. Shepherds use rods to GUIDE sheep, not to BEAT them. I don't know how this verse got so perverted by so many. We have to guide our children in the way they should go. I haven't seen anywhere in the Bible that we should beat them.

When I was in your position (seeking truth and looking for a home), I spent much time talking with God…asking for direction…asking him to show me the truth. He gently led me to a church that shows his love, grace and forgiveness in everything they say and do. I'm glad I didn't give up.

OK – let's go for the wonderful K T Tunstall, and her song 'Push That Knot Away'. I'm presuming that the knot in question is the knot of stress and fear – in the night deny it any place, the morning is a doorway to walk through, and "Just remember that you have heaven in your heart, it is inside you and it will guide you so long as you listen hard".

my theme song for 2011 would be "Stuck in the Middle with You." Because we've been in congregational transition for about 1 1/2 years now….

And "We Don't Eat" is an amazing song.
