Praise the Lord for those who are serious about placing Him first in their lives, and doing so publicly. I was shopping for CDs online and found this comment in a review of Big Daddy Weave:

Big Daddy Weave hopes to see the focus and attention be on the message of the music and less on the image of the band. In fact, Jay Weaver told Fervent Records, “My prayer every night is that you would get me and everyone else out of the way and bring Jesus to the front, because that’s the image we need to portray. That’s what I want people to know — when they saw Big Daddy Weave, they saw Jesus.”

Now we’re back to that old debate that started all of this. (Switchfoot) Oh well. If Jesus tells us to be salt and light, we might have to realize that sometime salt stings, and sometimes light reveals things we’d rather keep hidden. If the world accepts you as its own….are you?

(Oh, and if you’ve never heard their song “Audience of One,” you’re missing out big time. Request it on your local radio station, buy it off iTunes, or go buy the CD!)
