One of the groups that I wanted to feature is the Green Day of Christian Music. Reflescent Tide’s Spring Catalog is one of the best Christian rock albums ever produced. The only problem is unless you have a cassette player, you probably haven’t heard the entire album that features eight great rock songs with a few moving ballads. If you have better luck than I do, Spring Catalog is worth the investment.
What man of you, if he has a hundred sheep and should lose one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness (desert) and go after the one that is lost until he finds it? 5 And when he has found it, he lays it on his [own] shoulders, rejoicing. 6 And when he gets home, he summons together [his] friends and [his] neighbors, saying to them, Rejoice with me, because I have found my sheep which was lost. 7 Thus, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one [[c]especially] wicked person who repents ([d]changes his mind, abhorring his errors and misdeeds, and determines to enter upon a better course of life) than over ninety-nine righteous persons who have no need of repentance, Luke 15:4-7.
The second group I was unable to highlight is the Chicago of Christian music. Closer in its album simply entitled Rain has one of the most inspirational songs that I’ve ever heard, Go On. Based upon the harmony and background music, this song screams classic Chicago ballads. However, rather than singing about just breaking up, this song stresses the importance of following Jesus. Once again, if you can find this old cassette on a CD, it’s definitely worth it.
