Any band which tours long enough to produce five albums tends to evolve over time. While the group Age of Faith doesn’t attempt to duplicate the sound of a specific secular artist, you’ll find a mix of classic and soft rock. You might hear an occasional song with a John Cougar Mellencamp sound, but the lyrics of Age of Faith seek to instill listeners with biblical advice to live out your faith.
Now faith is the assurance (the confirmation, [a]the title deed) of the things [we] hope for, being the proof of things [we] do not see and the conviction of their reality [faith perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses]. 2 For by [faith—[b]trust and holy fervor born of faith] the men of old had divine testimony borne to them and obtained a good report. 3 By faith we understand that the worlds [during the successive ages] were framed (fashioned, put in order, and equipped for their intended purpose) by the word of God, so that what we see was not made out of things which are visible, Hebrews 11:1-3.
My favorite Age of Faith album is the Truth featuring the song Red Carpet. The theme of Red Carpet reminds me of Benny Hester’s top song When God Ran based upon the Parable of the Prodigal Son. Meanwhile, Age of Faith took a break from their normal style to release a praise and worship album entitled Still: Songs of Restoration. If the attached You Tube isn’t for you, do a search of individual songs from the Truth album which might be more appealing to you. Enjoy Age of Faith this week.
