Fantastic time with JP Miller
Tonight we hosted Southern Gospel artist, JP Miller, at Highland Baptist church. I had heard JP a few times at various places but never been in a service where he was the only performer. There are only a handful of Gospel artists that I really enjoy sitting and listening to them sing solo for more than 30 minutes at a time; Tony Gore, Eric Bennett, Phil Cross, Kim Hopper, to name a few. Well, now I can add JP Miller to that list. He was fantastic! As I've mentioned before, I enjoy hearing the testimonies more than I do the actual singing, but, when both the singing and testimonies are great then it's a winning combination. JP Miller kicked things off with a lively rendition of Heaven's Jubilee which really set a great mood. Our church mainly sings from the old red back church hymnal and of course that song is one of our favorites. He followed up with two more great ones; Oh I Want to See Him and I'll Fly Away. Then he sang what was probably my very favorite song of the entire night, He Made A Cross. I had never heard it before but it didn't take long for tears to start flowing. The words were so beautiful. The chorus went something like this; He made a cross that stood between the shores of death and eternity, He stretched his arms to form a bridge, that we could have that chance to live, because when sin did all it could to keep us lost, God reached out with love and He made a cross. Wow, what a message!
If you are a music minister or the person in charge of booking groups and singers at your church, I highly recommend JP Miller. For more info and contact information visit his website at: http://www.jpmiller.cc/ tell him that Bro. Byron sent ya! Read more...
