Faith is something growing despite of suffering. Not because of it. And Confirmation of faith is ultimately not found in suffering but despite of suffering. DON't worship sufffering. Worship GOD. Faith despite of suffering is awsome suffering and and PR is making me puke.
@therarchos I am guessing that you are perfect and healthy and never have suffered? The bible says for the sick to rejoice through their sufferings because we have shared in the Lord's sufferings. Christ healed the sick and if you are healthy then don't boast of it. your just someone Satan hasn't inflicted pain on. consider yourself lucky. I am a person who has tasted suffering losing friends being sick mentally you know what its the fake people of the church today that make me sick
If this song has lead anyone to christ . Hallelujah. If it has brought anyone consolatiotion. Praise god. But seriosly right know i don't give a d... if you call me a hater. I don't care if you find me a bad christian or an incompasionate b.....rd but seriesly? Does he really mean this? It seems so fake! If you really loook around you can always find someone who got slapped by life. If you are healthy you are lucky. BUT it got NOTHING to do with faith.
@therarchos Read the New Testiment if you have a problem with the sick. Christ will reward those who have suffered one earth the first will be last and the last will be first.
Satan afflicts those who he finds a threat against the kingdom of hell. Hell's vices can sometimes try to grip someone's life but through Christ's mercies we are set free.
Sorry for the late answer. I think you misunderstood. Illness mental or otherwise sucks. I am not blaming or in other ways saying that sick people deserve their situation.
Life sucks. It was supposed to be something better but it isn't and it is not just the believers that get ill everyone risk that.
What is amazing isn't that people with an illness have a greater faith but that they have faith at all.
I'm not sure that's the case, Dandelions, Eulogy, and Every New Day are pretty deep FIF songs in my opinion. I think BSS takes away the ska aspect from their writing and adds a new "radio friendly" dimension to their music. Not to say that they're aiming for air time, but I would definitely be less surprised to hear this song on a local station than say, Dandelions, etc.
Reese, unlike so many songwriters and singers nowadays, is always able to convey how he feels through his lyrics and his voice. He's an amazing person, perfectly flawed and humble.
No single person has influenced my faith, my music, and my sense of humor as much as Reese.
this makes me think about one of my best friends who died about three years ago. he was only 18. i cried so much but one of my other friends showed me this song. i cried through the whole song not with sadness but joy because i knew that he was with Christ. the best place he could be.
I miss you Matt.....

This is a great song. I don't think BSS or FIF used the saw on any other songs, but it fits this one perfectly.

I guess "contemporary" is the word I was looking for.
These songs fit in next to Michael W. Smith, Jars of Clay etc. better than most FIF.
