"If you understood the true meaning of worship" if that were so, then why don't we all get undignified like King David did and praise and worship the Lord our God! The music we play has been given to us by the Lord through His Holy Spirit to reach those who will not step foot into His House, but through this venue He has given us, may. Let's not religion them right back out the door.
@gary00333 I apologize for offending whoever. But I would rather offend man than God. I understand where you are coming from regarding the ministry changes in the "post-modern" church. However, one thing has not changed. The message of any song is not enough, lest it be just an emotional response to music. ALL music and lyric affects us emotionally, whether secular or Christian. What's sad is when people think they have been in God's presence when it was nothing more than that emotion.
@gary00333 Emotion is important to show sorrow or sadness over our sin, but let's not forget what Jesus Himself said, "No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him" (John 6:44) The Holy Spirit's work is to draw men to God. He does use music, etc. to get our attention, but whether a song is playing or not, if God's presence is not there, what is?
@gary00333 He does use music, etc. to get our attention, but whether a song is playing or not, if God's presence is not there, what is?
***I need to say, I have met T.A. that sang in the Little Drummer Boy video. Personally, I believe he is a good person and has passion for what he does. If the Holy Spirit draws individuals through his talent, thank God.
@gary00333 I also watched the HOTEL CALIFORNIA video played at LIFEChurch and feel it is totally inappropriate for this kind of setting, and if the song's message should draw young people, what does that song say? I just think a line has to be drawn. You, however, have not met me, and yet you judge me the same as you feel I have judged. (By the way, people can be drawn by old hymns, too, it's the Spirit doing the drawing.)
One day eyes will be opened to the truth about the enemy's works. Being deceived means you don't know you're deceived....I'm not an old fogey either. I like contemporary music, and have been a worship leader in a contemporary church. But I have learned where the line draws. Do your concert somewhere other than the House of God!
@MegaDeception101 I challenge you to research how many people were saved the night of that 15 minute "concert". Then I challenge you to research how many people devoted their lives to Christ after the message. I will even help you with the math...start with ONE. That one was the most important person in my life on that day. I stood because of that night, ready to accept the Lord, not because of the music (which was great) but because of the message and the Lord in my heart.
If people really understood what worship really is, it wouldn't be so hard to be deceived by this. Worship is meant to connect the spirit to God, not appeal to the flesh. Tell me what you were thinking when you listened to this? DId the praise cause you to think about what God's done? Or the worship to reveal to you who He is? I doubt it, seriously. I know I will offend some, but it will only be those that are deceived into thinking worshiping God is about OUR talent.
K. This is what I think. It's a cover song, performed very well, very professionally. It happened to be a Christian Christmas song, and it happened to be sung in a church. There's nothing wrong with that. It's good music, that many people obviously enjoy.
It is worshipful you Goose, done in a way that kids relate to. So what if they `rocked` it alittle too `hard` for you... after all its the 2000`s & Rock music is very much apart of Christianity... Some of the Biggest rockbands in the world today are Christians... Move with the times mate : )
for all those saying this song is a stolen rendition...who cares. it is a song for jesus so it really doesnt matter who came up with the version that is played.
If it is not too "hard" for society, why is it too hard for church? Different people like different types of music. Thats why there are different churches that have different types of music.
This is a kick ass rendition of the song, forget about trying to fix something that aint broke, just trying to make something that is old new again. Awesome song, and kick ass drumming.
Would you pass that bit of wisdom along to the "emerging church." They haven't gotten that memo. And what standard do we use to determine that "updated" is always better? Funny, it's been working just fine for the past 2000 years.
I think better or worse is a matter of opinion, not theology. Personally, I like the old and the new. So long as the theology doesn't change, I don't get too hung up on the methodology. There's still one God and one Jesus, and he died for ALL of us.
The bible hasn't stayed the same for 2000 years. KJV, NKJV, etc. easier to read and language that makes sense so long as it is interpreted verbatim is not changing the WORD but making so anyone can read it. The spanish and german version seem so much easier to understand then the various old english versions that don't make sense today in American english.
I love Trent to death, he is so blessed with musical talent and he is soooo modest!! I keep hoping someone will put up Trent's LifeChurch version of He Reigns, I still listen to it on the Consumed CD and it still blows me away!!
Trent Austin continues to be THE MAN!! I have been impacted by Trent's playing for 12 or 13 years now, and he continues to blow me away with his genius. The "Who" segment of this song was over the top!! Trent, your skills behind the kit are umatched my brother!!!!! I hope I can hook up with you next time I'm playing around OKC.

This is so AWESOME!!! We saw it LIVE and my heart nearly jumped out of my chest!!! What a performance!!! I watch this version at least once a week!!! So cool.
wheres the version with the UCO Drumline? I was on it, and this was a blast to play for, This version is still awsome, but adding the drumline in the middle of the song spiced things up a bit
