Anybody have a copy where I can hear it???

I haven't heard about this, please elaborate...

I posted this a while back in the main forum and it just disappeared so I figured I would try it again here where you all might appreciate it more... "At a time when religion seems so often to get in the way of God's work, with its shopping mall sale's pitch and its bumper sticker reductionism...

Listening to Rattle and Hum this afternoon and I know I had heard it countless times before but I never really thought about it...what is Bono referring to here? What does that lyric mean?

Isaiah 9:6-7 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there will be no end. He will reign on David's...

Why is it such a crime to try and reach young kids with good, high-quality music that will lift their souls and make them think. I really see no problem with trying to market U2 in a way that would make them more attractive to youngsters.

I was confused on first reading this quote by Bono. Question 1: Didn't Bono say Jesus only mentioned judgement once? Not the whole Bible right? Question 2: I know this is not the only time that Jesus mentions judgement. In Matthew 13, he gives the parable of the wheat and the tares and says...

So I guess Creed and Britney Spears are the four most hated people in the whole world. Why do people complain so much about other people that they can't change? Isn't that a bit pointless, I think it is because I do it a lot...I wish I didn't though...

sv- Those are some awesome trivia bits. I knew none of those things, thanks for posting them. What others are there?

Hi everyone, Phillip Yancey has recently become my favorite author ever. He surpasses C.S. Lewis only because I find him easier to read and not quite as dense. That is not meant to take away from Lewis however, just a personal preference. I am reading Reaching Out to the Invisible God and...

I really hope President Bush follows through with all of this. It would be such an awesome thing to give all of these people a second chance and a better life. As a Christian I think its just such an awesome thing to be doing. I pray for God's wisdom to Solomon for President Bush every night...

This post is absolutely incredible. I got chills and excited about Jesus in a way I haven't been for a while while reading this. Thank you so much!

Spanisheyes- Didn't Bono say somewhere that a "soul" singer is one who reveals rather than conceals? I have a feeling that Bono really enjoys knowing that he writes songs that so many people can relate to and take comfort in. Several times Bono's songs have expressed my heart better than I...

Perhaps Sting or Peter Gabriel?

I still can't figure out why being the biggest band in the world is a bad thing. Weren't the Beatles "massified" during Beatlemania? I don't understand stupid people.
