Entertaining Angels

I must admit that the Newsboys are one of my favorite Christian bands of today. They aren’t tops, but I can include them with Casting Crowns, Lincoln Brewster, and a few others in my personal portfolio of much appreciated bands.

It hasn’t always been that way with Christian music, particularly with the category known as Contemporary Christian Music or CCM. In the earliest days, Larry Norman, Keith Green, Honeytree, Second Chapter of Acts, and a few other groups or individuals ministered to young people, but then it seemed that for a period of time starting in the late 1980s to the late 1990s, there was a dirth of good groups to follow.

Please don’t take this wrong: God has always had his witness in the arena of worshipful music, but there was a time when some of the musicians seemed to be performers instead of ministers.

Without further adieu, I share with you a classic song from the Newsboys, Entertaining Angels, a song that was first released in 1999:
