MUSIC REVIEW || Milk & Cookies: A Merry Crowder Christmas

For the last several years I’ve been reviewing various types of Christian media. This month we’re celebrating David Crowder’s newest album release. Be blessed!

 

3x GRAMMY-nominated, genre-defying artist Crowder dropped Milk & Cookies: A Merry Crowder Christmas on October 21st in time to embrace the full holiday season. The album includes songs that touch on the thanksgiving spirit as well as Christmas all wrapped up in a beautiful gold ribbon.

It’s an album you could put on with the whole family around and make everyone happy at some point. There’s playful songs for the young and young at heart, smooth jazz, bluegrass, pop, and orchestral rock to get everyone energized and in the Christmas spirit.

Crowder’s signature style and original genre sound never disappoints. The album mixture includes updated traditional Christmas favs and memorable originals that will sure to become new Christmas classics.  Interludes are intertwined with entertaining old time radio narrations telling Christmas stories.

In unmistakeable Crowder style Milk & Cookies is entertaining, touching… playful yet inspirational.  I highly recommend Milk & Cookies: A Crowder Christmas for your music library!

Check out the YouTube videos of my favorites from the album. Enjoy!

LAW / GRACE/ FREEDOM :: True Freedom!

REACHING HURTING WOMEN MINISTRIES OFFERS FOUR TOPICS FOR CONTEMPLATION EVERY MONTH OF THE YEAR. EACH TOPIC IS A 12-MONTH STUDY SERIES ASSIGNED TO A SPECIFIC FRIDAY OF EVERY MONTH. IN MONTHS WITH FIVE FRIDAYS WE’RE REVIEWING CHRISTIAN MEDIA.

On the fourth Friday of each month in 2022 we’re studying the RHW 2022 Theme: God’s Law, Grace & Freedom.

“Without God’s law and grace there is no opportunity for true freedom!”

So Christ has truly set us free. Now make sure that you stay free, and don’t get tied up again in slavery to the law.~ Galatians 5:1

If you have accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, you are no longer under the burden to follow the law to be in right standing with Father God.  The sacrifice the Jesus made for all mankind on the cross graciously gave us the freedom to be in God’s presence at any moment.

One of the teachers of religious law was standing there listening to the debate. He realized that Jesus had answered well, so he asked, “Of all the commandments, which is the most important?” Jesus replied, “The most important commandment is this: ‘Listen, O Israel! The Lord our God is the one and only Lord. And you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, and all your strength.’ The second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ No other commandment is greater than these.” ~ Mark 12:28-31

Sure, we need to do what Jesus said above and love the Lord our God with all our hearts and love our neighbors. If we will follow both of these laws, all the others will be kept. We mustn’t burden ourselves with tedious rule keeping.

Love God. Love People. Find grace and true freedom!

Be blessed with this beautiful new song by Josh Baldwin.
