The goal of this blog will be to share music by independent Christian artists who earnestly seek to fulfill the biblical instructions found in Ephesians 5:19-20 and Colossians 3:16-17.
If you know of an indie Christian artist you would like to recommend, please contact me at musicoptimist@yahoo.com.
Ideal artists will:
- Deal as honestly and openly as possible with real issues of life and faith.
- Rely firmly upon the Bible as the source of wisdom and truth.
- Be willing to convey biblical truth in song even when a scripture is challenging or difficult.
No musical style or genre is off limits. I only ask that you please recommend songs you honestly believe have a biblical foundation and are performed by artists who earnestly desire to be instructive and beneficial to those who listen.
If the Lord is willing, I look forward to sharing meaningful, challenging, inspiring songs of faith and truth with you very soon!
Your friend in Christ,
Mark Stephens
Ephesians 5:19 "Speak to one another with psalms, hymns and songs from the Spirit. Sing and make music from your heart to the Lord. Always give thanks to God the Father for everything. Give thanks to him in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ."
Colossians 3:16-17 Let the message about Christ live among you like a rich treasure. Teach and correct one another wisely. Teach one another by singing psalms and hymns and songs from the Spirit. Sing to God with thanks in your hearts. 17 Do everything you say or do in the name of the Lord Jesus. Always give thanks to God the Father through Christ.
