I love the music and the tallent you bring, but , there is one thing missing. With all the people that show up, you are missing one of the greatest chances to lead people to CHRIST. Not all that come are christains, just love great music. Why not take the time to explane what it means to be BORN AGAIN and have an ALTER CALL. I have been to a number of your concerts and not once did I hear you have an alter call. You have all this tallent that GOD has given and you fail in the GREAT COMMISON. People leave thinking how I enjoyed the music, while you count your money and people go to HELL. What will you tell GOD.

O.K. Let us sing Wes Hampton’s praises. Yes I love David Phelps, but I have never heard a clearer tenor voice than Wes. gotta give credit where credit is due. I agree it is the life they live. I personally know the Collingsworth family, kudos to Gaither for picking a talented family as well as HONEST christian folks.

First off, I heard the new GVB sing last friday night, and it was AMAZING.
It always makes me wonder how all these “experts” got to be that way when I have not seem them singing in front of sold out crowds.
ANYWAY…all I can tell you is Michael was in great voice. He stole the show with his songs, and the combination of David, Wes and Michaels was astounding.
Lighten up a bit. I didnt see a disappointed person in the crowd the other night.
Simple fact is, Michael English is back singing, and witnessing to thousands. What better testiment could we have.
Sing on Michael, I swear you get better with every year.

Jon,
Not all music must drive people to accept Christ. I think there is a real need for music that simply inspires and encourages those who already believe. Let’s face it, SG in general isn’t reaching out to the masses in the main stream. So, if the “big show” encourages and gives people hope, then keep it coming. You can stay home.

P.S. Well put Wade.

you forgot the latter: “Ever tell the unsaved how to accept me?”

No one is upset…I’m just askin the ? God will be asking us after we leave this earth. Why not ask it here befoe it’s too late?

Wow Jon. You seem very angry about Gaither. No, I’ve never seen him do an alter call, but in his defense, I never read about Jesus doing one either.

All I want to know is, was there lives changed or souls saved? If not, it is all a big show. I’d rather sing and see lives saved, than lives pay for a bear who sings out of his rear end that Bill pushes constantly. “Why should I let you in Heaven?” Lord we sang your name and praised you… “No you marketed bears, danced and performed like circus clowns”…ever have an altar call? Ever tell the unsaved how to accept me?”

we saw them last weekend and would love to hear GVB do more songs.It was 2 hours 10 minutes in to the show before GVB came out then for only about 6 songs.Would love to see Gold City or someother groups with them.Hes used this lineup for so long but where else could these singers sell the amount of product they can with him even if they only sing 2 songs a nite.I will say Janet Paschal sounded great.

…”(given the song’s celebration of the city as the center of Christian theology, is the Arab leitmotif near the beginning meant to be ironic?) – but in this setting it feels less like the exotic lark or curious innovation that it typically comes across as, and more like a galloping horse with no rider.” -

You Are Too Much! I love the way you write.

and your assessment of the Homecoming Tour sounds exactly like what I experienced in Nashville last year, sans the re-worked GVB lineup and the return of English, Lowry, and Phelps.
Too many soloists, too much time wasted with Bill and guitarist talking, etc -
and I agree with what some other’s have said here - I would love to see Gaither have a couple of other good groups and let them do 25-30 minute sets. Then have the GVB do the final set for 30-45 minutes.

I went to the Orlando concert, and what I found was my heart. My husband and I, who are far below the “snow bird” age range, sat behind a Pentacostal youth group who seemed barely old enough to drive there. All of us, young, old, and in between, were electrified by the voices and music we heard. Every act leading up to the wonderful premier of the New GVB blew me away, and I will go on record as not having been a Russ Taft or Ivan Parker fan…till that night. The New GVB was beyond comprehension! Mark, David, Michael, Wes, and Bill have reunited and brought back with them life experiences, and you can feel the influence their joys, pains, and suffering, have brough to their music again. I will forever be a Gaither fan…and for the first time, my husband is able to share his love of Christ with me. I dare you to go to a show, and not be a liberal. Just be one of God’s children. You have no choice. As Mark said “You didn’t get a vote. He voted you worthy of His death. You are His”. God bless.
