Just in case you are _not_ only joking.... (no flame intended) Well, about one year ago I saw Petra, a contemporary Christian hard rock band at the Rosemont Horizon in Chicago. After listening for about an hour and a half our group (I had gone to the concert with a group of friends. We are all Christians and members of InterVarsity Christian Fellowship, a college campus group) found out that counselors would be needed for after the concert. We thought that would be a good idea so we volunteered. Petra gave an alter call, and minutes later I talked to an 11 year old boy who had just received Christ as his Lord and Savior. I was in a room of about 200 other people like him who had just done the same. "How can Satan drive out Satan? If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand." Jesus, Mark 3:23,24. I have seen God use rock music. - Mattox beckman@cs.uiuc.edu ><> IXOYE >-- >Mick Washbrooke mickw@autodesk.com > >otium cum dignitate
