We are six days away from celebrating the greatest event in the history of the world. Death was conquered and man was forgiven, redeemed and justified.
Casting Crowns' Glorious Day is one of my favorite songs. It is both beautiful and Biblically awe-inspiring.
And here's a sermon I wrote on this wonderful, worshipful piece of music.

Casting Crowns - TREMENDOUS!!!
Last night's Casting Crown's concert here in Columbus Oh was simply incredible. It was a rock and roll praise and worship event. World Vision (a fabulous organization) sponsored the show and many children were sponsored last night. One of the three children my wife and I sponsor is through World Vision.
And because my buddy sponsored a child last night, they gave him the DVD, Films & Music inspired by The Story. AND...Mark Hall's new book.The Well. And since I ordred the tickets, he gave them both to me! I'm looking forward to reading it.
I enjoyed Sanctus Real and what I heard of Lindsay McCaul (do NOT drive on Stringtown Rd at evening rush hour if you can avoid it). Lead Me was as good live as I expected. It is a powerful song about being a husband and father.
Casting Crowns is an amazing band. Whether they are singing the ballads the blue-grassish stuff or the jamming tunes (trust me, this isn't kum-bye-ya religious music), they nail it. Mark Hall delivers the Message well and the World Vision tie-in was moving.
I would see Casting Crowns again without reservation. Perhaps the best concert I've attended, which includes bands such as Joan Jett, Buddy Guy, the Beach Boys, the Radiators and Kiss. With the possible exception of Matt Redman, none were like this.

Glorious Day - Byrne's Serms #3
I am headed to a Casting Crowns concert on Thursday night. Needless to say I am quite excited, as they are a fantastic band and I can't wait to check them out live.Glorious Day (Living He Loved Me) was recently a #1 on the Christian charts and is my favorite song by the band. And it's my favorite not just because it sounds great, but the lyrics are as good as anything I've ever heard before (it's from an old hymn modified by Mark Hall and Michael Bleecker). In fact, they're so good, my third sermon was about that song. I haven't recorded it yet, but click below and you can read it:
Glorious Day - Byrne's Serms
I'm pretty proud of this one.
Casting Crowns makes great music. Which is why the new album, Come to the Well, debuted at #2 on the Billboard 200 chart. That's not just Christian albums: that's all albums in all styles of music. Go Casting Crowns!
