Current mood:  fabulous
Is it a marketing strategy?  Is it something that a few members believe in?  Is it a form of ministry? 
    Lately I have been thinking a lot about what the purpose of this band really is, and what is "success".  Unfortunately there are bands out there that use the term "Christian" as a way to market themselves to a certain group of people.  Other bands may have a few Christian members, and consider themselves a Christian band.  However to me, I believe that a Christian band is built on members who all have a genuine love for God, and have a desire to spread the word of the Lord to others. 
    We do not try to force our beliefs down peoples throats, we all have a God given free will, and we respect the fact that people do not  believe that there is a God. 
    As far as success goes, it cannot be measured by any number, word, or tangible object.  Success  is not measured by how many people we play for, but it is measured by the lives we have touched.  I pray that God will be able to use us to reach out to others that may never hear of the love our Lord has for them.
    We also do not wish to offend anyone by what we say.  If you disagree with us that is fine, we have full respect for you, and we ask that you will respect us for standing up for what we believe in.

We love each and everyone of you, and hope to see your shining faces soon!

God bless,

bravo, tyler. i like how you unmask the "undercover christian bands". the kids that say "we're christians in a band, just making music" that keeps them unaccountable for the words they write and the kids they might lead astray. our life is a complete service (ministry) to others. unfortunately Christ never came to make friends and for some reason the gospel (though it is completely selfless; sacrificial; loving) is offensive. the very mention of Jesus' name pisses people off. you already know this. when people (including ourselves) are confronted with their own sin and are told by their own conscience they are "in need of forgiveness" & "need to change" they buck and kick against that uncomfortable feeling of being wrong. i hate change, but i hate my sin nature even more. the damage it does to me and those around me hurts more than my pride being hurt. that's one of the only difference between a Christian and a non-christian. i pray that when people come to your shows people will realize that they're in need of a saviour and in desperate need of change.
later bro

I ccould't have said it any better. I am not a Christian, and while I don't believe in God, I also don't believe in people having half hearted ideals or in people using beliefs as marketing tools either. I hope you all achieve what you all intend to achieve.

I guess "Christian" groups fall under one of two categories: ones with lyrics that specifically speak of God and following his word, and groups whose members may or may not be Christian, but their message is in agreeance with a religious lifestyle. When I was younger, I found it very difficult to be simultaneously a Christian and a metal/hardcore lover since there are very few heavy bands that fall under either of those categories. I have a lot of love and respect for bands that label themselves as Christians, as people are likely to ignorantly discard/ignore them in fear of any possible "preachiness." But you have the right attitude of confidently stating your own beliefs while respecting everyone else's.

I think it's great there are bands like you out that is helping God get to these youth away from Satan. Satan doesn't have to have all the good let God have all of it, and take the devil out of music.

Is that kid serious?  Just because they stand up for something they believe in, that makes them faggots.  I think not.  If you actually think you are going to get anywhere in life by acting like that, then you are in for a big surprise.  Grow up.

Well said boys :)

We appreciate the defenses from you guys, however, we are all entitled to our own opinion.  I do not have a problem with a persons possible offensive comment.  Our beliefs offend those who do not believe.  I do not want this thought I had a few months back, to be the cause of a division of anyone, or a stumbling block.  Remember that attacking a person because of what they say, will do no good.  We are to show grace to those who trespass against us.  Zach, its ok.
