So, what is Deathway?

When I think of "Christian Rock" by the way, I'm thinkin "Stryper". Has it morphed into something else since the 80's? GRANTED, Creed snuck in there, and, now that I actually listen to the lyrics, I can see how some peeps might take that.

AND, I am a SUPER fan of "King's X".. THAT "Little Band from Texas" is WAY tighter and has more musicianship in their little pinkys than ZZTOP ever will have.. but I digress...

SO, I say again..

"What IS Deathway?"

Faith.Hope.Love.

my response...

good question...

deathway is...

@ it's very core...

an expedition that was charted a couple of years ago w/truth as it's destination...

it's about music, but hopefully entails so much more than that...

it's about the search for those intangible qualities that make us long for something much larger & more incredible than we could ever imagine...

it's found in the menial & mundane as well as the magnificent & miraculous...

it's found in the music we listen to as well as the books & magazines that we read & the tv & movies that we watch...

it's the underlying current that moves us all along on this amazing journey called life...

it seperates us from the rest of the creative order, but doesn't alleviate our responsibility towards it...

it drives us towards integrity to do the right thing when no 1 else would ever know any different & rewards us w/peace, joy, happiness & a richer fuller life...

we believe that this it...

is truth...

this truth is love...

& that this love is unconditional, unrelenting & is ever in pursuit of us...

to bring us back to itself...

in the end, we believe that this love is god...

we base our life on it & while we wish that others would too...

we understand that we cannot drive them to this conclusion...

we honor each & everyone's very personal decision to accept this truth or not...

as creative or smart or whatever we think that we may be, we know that we'll never be able to push or reason someone to acknowlege this on our own...

deathway is all about finding the expressions of truth in the things that we love...

music, literature, art...life...

we, hopefully @ the very same time...

acknowledge these things & respect the rights of others to disagree w/us...

deathway is a forum for all of this to take place & a safehaven for believer & non-believer alike to examine these things & to hopefully learn & grow together from 1 another...

so...

if you like...

join us in the dialogue...

over the net...

@ the venue...

or @ 1 of the churches that we attend...

there's always room for more...
