513FREE'S new release, "Different" is aptly titled. You won't ever find yourself saying, "All the songs sound the same." Each song is distinctly different in melody which is one of the reasons that "Different" is so listenable.
On the title track and "Love Will Change the World", we are reminded that as followers of Christ, our faith must be reflected in what we do--not just by what we say. We must live authentic Christian lives and not compromise with the World. We can also make a difference simply by being Christ to others by meeting their needs.
On "Breathe You In" and "Fly", 513Free encourages us to find our strength and purpose in God. Alone we can do nothing...but with God at the center of our lives, all things are possible!
The songs, "Amazed", "Around Me" and "Beautiful Mystery" remind me of the Psalms that give honor to God simply because He is God--the Mighty Creator of all things! Why did God create so MANY stars? Why are the oceans so BIG? Why does He even care about me? If you have ever taken the time to ponder these things, you have likely come to the conclusion--it's a beautiful mystery!
Then there is: "In You Alone". This is the grace song. Everyone can find solace here--knowing that all of us have fallen even after having believed. We strive for perfection but we will never be perfect until He himself perfects us. When we fall, and we will, His grace will cover us and restore us again. When we humbly accept the healing, we fall before Him and gladly worship Him!
Every track will inspire you to live a more Christ-like life. “Different” contains a little bit of everything in the Christian walk--encouragement, accountability, honesty, praise and the call to live lives of action...to Make Every Day Count...to truly make a DIFFERENCE!
I encourage you to download the entire album. Listen to it and see if it doesn't make a difference in your life!
I also want to encourage you to support 513FREE financially. They don't charge for their concerts or music and they will never beg you for money. They drive all over the country ministering to the forgotten--those in prisons and in drug and alcohol treatment centers. They also reach out to thousands of young people. The 513FREE band is different indeed--they don't roll the way the world rolls. They believe that getting the life-changing, life-saving message of Christ to a dying world is much more important than mere money.
513FREE's ability to share their gifts of music and ministry require gas, food and equipment--which tends to run out or break down regularly. So, if you are blessed with excess or can forego that latte for a few days, please invest in eternity by supporting 513FREE. Visit 513FREE.com for their address or the online giving link. And no, they didn't ask me to say that--it's not their style.
513FREE.com - go there now, you'll be glad you did!
