Mostly I will comment on Southern Gospel music, but will also from time to time blog on anything pertaining to the Gospel.

For my newest post, I am announcing that my blog will now be hosted at allthingsgospel.wordpress.com. I will update here as warranted.

In recent posts on several SG sites, I have noticed that there is developing a trend of criticism of part-time groups. While everyone knows many part-time groups do not have a decent sound or whatever their yardstick is, there are also many who are quality groups. I am sick to death of the mistakes, problems, blunders or whatever term you want to use for what is wrong with SG being blamed on the

I have waited a couple of weeks since my last post to write this one.Seems a few people didn't like the most recent post, and someone has made it clear that they didn't like 2 sentences in the one before that.First off, let me say that if anyone was hurt by what I wrote, I am sorry. It is not my intention in writing any of these to hurt anyone. But I am compelled to write what I hear and see

This past weekend, what was supposed to be the next big event in Southern Gospel happened. The American Gospel Music Festival was supposed to drive home the point about quality being the key to the industry. It fell flat. Period.It didn't fall flat because the groups weren't good, for the most part they were. It fell flat because of lack of fan support.Why there was so little fan support is truly

After a very busy couple of weeks that included a trip out of town, then out of town company, then taking my son to the hotel for his Air Force induction, I finally get time to sit down and write.Our trip was to a convention featuring many different artists. It was pretty good and we enjoyed visiting people and meeting new ones. However, I noticed a few things about some of the groups that

Yesterday, my pastor had a great message. It was about learning God's secrets. While secrets and mysteries can be used synonymously, they actually denote two different things. Secrets are things we know that someone else doesn't know, but can (and usually are) shared. Mysteries are puzzles we have to figure out. Neither secrets or mysteries are impossible, they can be figured out.Within this

For my first post, I have chosen a subject that is controversial for many people in the Southern Gospel industry. We have all heard the saying "Their heart is in the right place" when referencing groups or soloists who are just bad. I can't tell you how much that comment gets on my nerves.Before I launch into my tirade about why it is wrong to totally focus on this part of a person's ministry,
