My dears the truth Jesus Clearly said to them do not worship me cause is not accepted. Matt 15:7-9 9 They worship me in vain; the prophets in Bible are Servant of God Mark 12:1-5 Jesus a Servant Matt 12:18 "Here is my SERVANT whom I have chosen," SALVATION in Bible John 17:3 "Now this is eternal life: that they know you, THE ONLY TRUE GOD, and Jesus Christ, whom you have SENT" God is ONE Isaiah 46:9;Num 23:19; Sam 15:29;Hosea 11:9; Qur'an : Surah Al-Maeda 5:116-120. Judgement Day.
@Orsan13 God is evil. And Jesus is his evil slave. He murders millions, allows children in 3rd world countries to starve, he allows horrible diseases, suffering, disabilities, and many things like these. He cares not how faithful you are or how good you are. So what then? You need to realize that Satan is the only one who really loves you all, and he does not care if you hate him; he knows you were only trying to do the right thing. I'm happy to be of help to you. You deserve the truth.
@Orsan13 The sad truth is though if they were real Satan wouldn't be the bad guy. Good job, not even knowing what's really in the Bible. If it's your religion why the fuck don't you know what the Bible says? A woman must marry a man that rapes her? Kill disobedient children? God saying slavery is ok? Holidays and ideas were stolen from other religions and places in order to convince people to convert. Like Christmas. Your ignorance makes me sad. I hope the world is free from this someday.
and also about the Bible christian book, the only slavery To obey Allah alone. the only true words of Allah never changed or mixed with men words is THE HOLY Qur'an.
accuse someone else ignorant, prove that you are ignorant of their own.
@Orsan13 Oh, so yours is the Qur'an, not the Bible. I guess there's a little bit less evil. A little bit less. I guess you just don't look at the evil side of your religion. Or you just view murder as ok.
You do not have the basic necessities of thinking. Islam is not implemented in the Arab countries. and this is not the islamic way to implement it, cause you talking about what happen in the arabs lands this monthes.
the media Aljazeera, I don't think so JSC= Jewish SC with arabe voice that is it, the arabs people thought this JSC with them.
If one person was killed by unknown, the people worry much and protests.
JSC says is the gov, the gov in order to control the point. Fail
@Orsan13 Your English is so bad that I can't read it. But I know it's not your first language. From the little bit I can understand, I can tell that you don't know what I'm saying and you know little about your own religion. I'm not talking about random killers. I'm talking about evil from the very person who made the thing you call the Quran. Do you understand? EVIL. FROM HE WHO CREATED THE QURAN.

I was baptized on Easter back in the late '60s, so tomorrow I'm a-gonna go outside my comfort zone and attend a local church basically to just thank the Good Lord for doing what He did. Don't like singing around others ... and I worry that my breath will stink and that people won't like my face but, nevertheless, a sinner like me needs to do this anyway.
rjmj33 - I am really disappointed that you have such a low opinion of Catholics. Not every Catholic is ultra-conservative. I would hope that you would at some point in your faith journey actually research Catholocism before making inaccurate blanket statements about a faith denomination.
The discussion below regarding what is valid worship intrigues me.What should be done - go back to 230 years ago and sing all our songs like that. Oh no that would be sinful because it was a modern expression of music - after all Wesley used bar tunes in his hymns. No not good enough maybe we should go back to the 10C no 5thC!
Every generation has expressed worship in it's own context. The issue is not the music / rythm / instruments (Pipe organ is a relativly modern invention)
I love modern worship songs! I belong to a church that's expression of worship is more contemporary but I would never try and claim that that is the only way worship should be expressed and that churches worshipping with hymns have missed it
Each expression of worship that is as valid as the next - it actually is not about me but about the created giving honor to the living God!
The only human being to be worthy of the same praise as God! So few understand who it is that Jesus is... He's not a man that had "godly powers" or a great prophet who was endowed with magical power, He IS GOD! Not a god, or part of god, He is the one true living Jehovah in human form! No word or doctrine dreamed up by man can explain Him or contain who he is.
they disgrace the song by singing it in a rock and roll style. rock and roll is a spiritual death plague to our generation and won't here that garbage in heaven
just want to spread good word that God does not exist, what a beautiful concept, you can live your live being a good person, without the fear that a man is lying abut in the clouds reading your mind.oh glorius day, with no god or jesus myth, no more suffering and murder commited under the guise of mythology. The jesus character is plagiarized from many different sun gods, one fantastic example bein Ra the egyptin sun god, his enemy being set, (sun set) also look to mythra,and dozens of others
I almost NEVER post a comment. But can "Dindraen" really be real?
It's people like them that give true Christans a bad name. I think Dindraen must either be a Muslim extremist -or possibly a Catholic -if he/she really thinks these women look like "harlots."
Sir,or Ma'am - I confess to knowing a thing or two about harlots. These women are the farthest thing from harlots there can be! Flesh? What flesh?? The women's attire is between business casual and professional!
@rjmj33 Pardon me, but getting in a slur against Catholics wasn't a particularly christian attitude either. Where do you get the idea that those dreaded "Catholics" would think they're dressed like harlots!? It's always painful to take part in something with what I think of as my fellow Christians, and get sideswiped by a remark like that. No wonder so many do not believe. Jesus prayed that all may be one so that the world would believe, and we spend so much time tearing each other down.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
How is this band 'set apart'? The women look like harlots, breathing into the microphones! Believers are to be a 'peculiar people' in a ' wicked and perverse generation'. The words to this song are disgraced here! This isn't the Spirit of God, only the same emotional high one finds at a rock concert. 'Be ye Holy as I am Holy'. Surrender all to him: music, clothing, etc. This chaotic beat, these women bouncing in tight pants, the red hell light; no holiness here, only the Flesh!
yur probly just like a bunch of old church people i know who think music is "chaotic" not because of the beat, but becuz it has a beat at all. just because its not piano and organ duznt make it wrong... and suddenly red lights at a concert means Hell? btw wat is so wrong with wanting to rock out and have fun worshiping the God of creation? and wat is wrong with wat the girls are wearing? your whole comment just duznt make sense to me. I love Avalon and this performance. They touch many hearts!
@Dindraen Have you noticed the age demographic at most of these shows. It's performances like these that are bringing and keeping young people in the church. Every church I have attended with a comtemporary music service has a great share of youth in it's congregation. The ones that don't have old and dying congregations, My old church is a prime example, it closed it's doors last spring. I'm curios how your church is doing. Oh and one more thing your an idiot. Forgive me Lord! Amen.
@Vogelsong1 the Lord will forgive you Sister or brother (sorry)..Yeah there are times people can push your buttons..Your annoyance was pretty tamed compared to some of the comments i have read on You tube lol x ps as for Dindraen, pray for him or her cos when you judge others sooo harshly like he/she has they tend to fall later themselves..the scripture comes to mind for him/her "he who thinks he stands watch lest he fall"...this keeps me in check when i want to judge full stop lol.God bless x
I wish Jody's microphone was working better when they split in the middle of the video!! He was trying to let his heart fly, but it seemed his mic wasn't turned up enough!! :( :( He is awesome and this song is a great version!! They did such a good job!! God Bless Avalon and All That Is Watching!!!
This is the way this song should be sung with such joy and excitment = Hail The Power Of Jesus Name Crown Him Lord of All!!!!!!!!! One of my favorite hymns.
I also saw Avalon on this tour and they were amazing! I think that was my favorite period of there career, when Nikki, Michael, Janna, & Jody made up the group. God really blessed them with awesome talent, they have used to reach many.
I'm just thankful Jesus put variety in His creation:) He has given these children of God gifts and they are using them. And it is between God and the individual " in question" of their actions:) He knows ALL of our hearts, and He loves us all so much. I don't believe Jesus would say shame on you if you made a mistake. He has already forgiven us of our sins, he who has not sinned throw the first stone. God Bless You All;)
OH! and one more thing lol, the name "Avalon" has it's origins in Greek Mythology and Arthurian legends that are wrapped heavily in ancient witchcraft. Not saying they're witches are anything stupid, but I know it's not compatible with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Peace?!! In all of your preceeding commentary where is the fruit of the Spirit (Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness ... Gal 5:22)? In the words of our Lord Jesus Christ Matt7:1Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. 3"Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?
Oh right, so we shouldn't judge, just let this "new age" wave of garbage come in and hijack the ancient music of the church? I don't think so.
It's trash T, r, a, s, h - trash. Maybe if they'd take some of the money they used to put on that concert and power all those flashing lights, and buy some starving people something to eat, they'd be doing some good.
I'm sorry if you don't like the truth,but this foolishness is going to send people to hell.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Wow, I don't think that song could be further mutilated than it is in this video. Some of these artists need be put on a boat and sailed to an island where we never have to hear from them again lol.
These hymns were written a long time ago. If you've got to completely change the music and tempo of a hymn to make it more "acceptable", then you clearly don't like hymns. This is a slap in the face to the god-fearing songwriters that blessed us with these songs.
I hate it when people don't research what they're talking about, which only serves to further spread their ignorance. The words to this song were penned by Edward Perronet, and many different denominations have set it to different music. There is no "original music" to it. So get your facts straight before you judge and discriminate! Who are you to say who is and isn't god-fearing, and who are you to say people "clearly don't like" something! Grow up, and God bless!
honestly, if you don't like it why are you here watching the video and commenting, just go look at somthing you like and stop complaining to everyone who does like it...
I remember going to this concert when it was on tour. And with all the big names there, all I could remember was how AMAZING Avalon was! Even with all the line-up changes over the years, they've stayed awesome and great witnesses for Christ.
Yeah, Nikki always surprised me; so little yet she has such a powerful voice. Check out her single on iTunes called Roots Before Branches by Room For Two.
Ah right..it's "catchy". Are you insane? The song is nearly 230 years old. These freaks with their flashing lights and showbiz don't deserve the right to sing these hymns. These songs got were on people's lips during oppression, genocide, and slavery....How dare these capitalist maggots use it for money.
Call it what you want. If hearts are in the right place and truly worshiping God, it shouldn't matter. God never distinguished what is "contemporary" and what is "classic." People, especially close-minded southern people (I know, because I used to be one), would do well to remember that God wasn't born and raised in a Baptist church.
Too contemporary period. It's pathetic. Why can't they write their own songs. They have to use sacred hymns for this mess, because none of them have any real talent.
Does anyone know who the blonde guy is and what happened to him? I thank God for their music and the way that many have been blessed through their gift. God bless.
But Rabshakeh said unto them, Hath my master sent me to thy master, and to thee, to speak these words? hath he not sent me to the men which sit on the wall, that they may eat their own dung, and drink their own piss with you? 2 Kings 18:27
I love this "my utmost for his highest" concert video - I used to own it, but in a fit of consumeristic guilt penance I fung-shway'd it out my house and gave it away to Bible's for Mexico. Doh! Any chance you have the rest of the video you could post - I would love to see it again.
avalon is still out making records, Jody Mcbrayer has stepped down because of a serious heart illness. I'm very sad about this..please agree with me in prayer, so that he will be healed. God bless you, God loves you all
Just using your comment as an example, so please take it in that context:
The more that the focus in placed on the quality of the music, the more that it is the musicians and the culture around them that is praised, rather than the Lord.
"Praise the Lord for Avalon" has replaced "Praise the Lord for His Son".
I just notice the core of the gospel gets left behind - let it not "go without saying".
There is nothing wrong with thanking God for Christian groups who are willing to carry His Gospel. I know the current members of Avalon, and I know they have a true desire to do what they do. I don't think people worship them. I think they just thank God for putting groups like Avalon out there. Just my opinion.
Well said. And ya know what, the more this "gospel is taken forward"...the more the real "Gospel" gets changed to be more accommodating to itching ears. This nonsense right here on this video, is why churches have turned in to multi-billion dollar businesses, while starvation and poverty are on the rise.
Christians are wrapped up in this garbage. Well anyway, enough from me about it. Like most of the church world, this is all the best "gospel music" money can buy. How shameful indeed.
Not christian, but this song is nice! My choir's singing this,but a different version. Kinda nicer, i like it!

These hymns were written a long time ago. If you've got to completely change the music and tempo of a hymn to make it more "acceptable", then you clearly don't like hymns. This is a slap in the face to the god-fearing songwriters that blessed us with these songs.
Shame on you people, shame on you.

I hate it when people don't research what they're talking about, which only serves to further spread their ignorance. The words to this song were penned by Edward Perronet, and many different denominations have set it to different music. There is no "original music" to it. So get your facts straight before you judge and discriminate! Who are you to say who is and isn't god-fearing, and who are you to say people "clearly don't like" something! Grow up, and God bless!

I remember going to this concert when it was on tour. And with all the big names there, all I could remember was how AMAZING Avalon was! Even with all the line-up changes over the years, they've stayed awesome and great witnesses for Christ.

Yeah, Nikki always surprised me; so little yet she has such a powerful voice. Check out her single on iTunes called Roots Before Branches by Room For Two.

Ah right..it's "catchy". Are you insane? The song is nearly 230 years old. These freaks with their flashing lights and showbiz don't deserve the right to sing these hymns. These songs got were on people's lips during oppression, genocide, and slavery....How dare these capitalist maggots use it for money.

Call it what you want. If hearts are in the right place and truly worshiping God, it shouldn't matter. God never distinguished what is "contemporary" and what is "classic." People, especially close-minded southern people (I know, because I used to be one), would do well to remember that God wasn't born and raised in a Baptist church.

Too contemporary period. It's pathetic. Why can't they write their own songs. They have to use sacred hymns for this mess, because none of them have any real talent.

Maybe you just need to look up Avalon sometime before you get ahead of yourself with statements like that.

I love this "my utmost for his highest" concert video - I used to own it, but in a fit of consumeristic guilt penance I fung-shway'd it out my house and gave it away to Bible's for Mexico. Doh! Any chance you have the rest of the video you could post - I would love to see it again.

Just using your comment as an example, so please take it in that context:
The more that the focus in placed on the quality of the music, the more that it is the musicians and the culture around them that is praised, rather than the Lord.
"Praise the Lord for Avalon" has replaced "Praise the Lord for His Son".
I just notice the core of the gospel gets left behind - let it not "go without saying".

There is nothing wrong with thanking God for Christian groups who are willing to carry His Gospel. I know the current members of Avalon, and I know they have a true desire to do what they do. I don't think people worship them. I think they just thank God for putting groups like Avalon out there. Just my opinion.

Well said. And ya know what, the more this "gospel is taken forward"...the more the real "Gospel" gets changed to be more accommodating to itching ears. This nonsense right here on this video, is why churches have turned in to multi-billion dollar businesses, while starvation and poverty are on the rise.
Christians are wrapped up in this garbage. Well anyway, enough from me about it. Like most of the church world, this is all the best "gospel music" money can buy. How shameful indeed.
