I grew up learning more Scripture from these guys than i did at church. I so love Petra!! I'm so happy that they're performing together again - they sound wonderful!!
@amylh322 Yeah! Back then I led a Bible study using a Petra song (and lyrics of course)! The whole study was on the theme of the song and the Scriptures supporting the lyrics. I thought it was cool.
@NeilCherokee - That does sound neat. I always appreciated that they used Scripture, i think Rich Mullins (who i also love so much) once said he sang because "Well, how many of Wesley's sermons do you remember? Well, how many of his *songs*?". Music is a great way to learn and get in a great mindset for prayer and study and good things! ;)
One thing I have noticed is that they are truly full of joy in this effort. I can't conceive that they are just putting on happy faces for the show of it. I read their faces as being genuinely happy in what they are doing, and to me that means a lot.
@kb9ree - I felt that way too when i accidentally came across the end of a live show on TV last summer! They do seem really full of joy! And real joy is just contagious!! :)
I agree with them that they are on a mission from God to get the prodigal children stirred up and restored. They have helped me a bunch and I am probably as good at being a prodigal as there is. Thanks,, Jesus for sending Petra back out into this lost world. May they be your tool for soul harvesting for a long time to come.
It's neat to see Greg X Volz awkward stage presence and amazing voice singing these classics with the boys... I mean chronologically enhanced vetrans again. :-) #PetrawasChristianRockwhenChristianRockwasntcoolhomagetothem

Jesus bless this band and give more power to them! Their testimony about the reason for regrouping is right on the mark! Amen brothers!
