Higher Ground Music Conference at TBC
 

It's taking place this week
Anyone going ?? I went last year and enjoyed being there.

This is only the second Year and they already have 260 registered!that's pretty good

This will be a conference for the conservatives and also for those who don't care for all the ultra maranatha music they doing at IBC.

They have a list of really good classes

there's one clinician named Ron Wofford who is doing a class on "dealing with change". I would like to get that CD ! ! loll lol

Is TBC still open??

Why do you say it is only for conservatives?

Do you think IBC does a lot of Maranatha music????

Who else is speaking at this conference?

TBC is still open- it moved from Houston to lufkin
TBC is known as a conservative Bible school. Bret Cooley is president and he is VERY Conservative!!!!!!!! his wife DEDIE is referred to as " the first Lady" of TBC

from what I have been told by those who have attended IBC last year, 90% of their music has been P&W , acoustic maranatha , etc and not much gospel at all

there were a few moderates teaching too like kevin howard and kim ballestero

Of course not. it's all the rage for closed Bible Colleges to host Music Conferences. :heeheehee


Here's your sign...:killinme

Rrford I thought everyone knew it was now located at the TX camp grounds but didn't it close for a short time once ?

lol!!! you aint right my brother! lol

are we a little cross tonight uh ?

Thad, it was just humor. That's all. :bliss

i got it!!!!!:killinme

no there's more to it- socali there's more to this

I for one do not like the Maranatha guitar stuff that seems to be so popular now. I get nothing out of it. Give me some good jammin hammond organ playing anytime!

Talk about being in a mood. Are you off your meds or do you just feel like calling me a liar? :tease

??????????????:hmmm

Exactly...last I heard it was closed. I had not heard that it re-opened.

It was open when Thad was there last year!

:bliss

well i heard that your church was havey into the hillsong stuff, the folk guitar players who sit on high stools and those sing mellow songs

that's the word that's out on the street

give me an example of hillsong stuff?

your a Man after my heart Matt ! :highfive


just don't tell CC !!!!!

go to their website and take a listen then report back :heeheehee

i am pretty sure i know what hillsong is. :heeheehee what is the website?

www2.hillsong.com

I like a lot of Hillsongs music.

BUMP for the sheer irony of it...

Just got a call from TBC wanting me to potentially preach in Ken Bow's place at this Music Confence. Seems he may not be there due to a health issue with his father.

Alas, it's impossible for me to speak at it as I'm going to be at Scott Graham's new Church dedication in St. Louis.

Perhaps I should 'recant' my earlier claims; if they are desperate enough to have me preach again they may not be doing as 'well' as I thought! :killinme

HEY HEY, just because there using acoustic guitars in Lufkin, doesn't necessarily mean there doing Hillsong or modern worship.

This is in East Texas.

You forgot to include the accordians, harmonicas and banjos in the scenerio! :tease

And as well washtubs with brooms accompanied by gallon stoneware jugs.

:heeheehee

I thought that was some Campmeeting type thing.

Good to hear about TBC. Listen, if a bible school can stay afloat and equip young people with knowledge and training, go for it.

As for Hillsong, I don't like a lot of the songs they do. However, there are some good songs that are written. A heavy dose of it, I could not take. But, to sing one of their songs here and there....yeah.

"You have turned my mourning into dancing. You have turned my sorrow into joy."

"My hope is in the name of the Lord, where my help comes from...You're my strength my song."

"Shout to the Lord, all the Earth let us sing...Power and majesty, praise to the King."

...just a couple.

Here's more...........

Eagles Wings; For All You've Done; Shout Unto God; From the Inside Out....

No problem with many of the songs but the vocals are a train wreck!

That's great... I have a 17 year old that wants to attend there.... even with IBC in her back yard...

btw Thad.. I do not like most of IBC's music..

you don't ? why is that ?

you too have noticed a big change in styles ?

I may have to try to get over for a service or two. with weather like this you never know what might come up! (Insert Golfer Smiley here)

Who is the rocket scientist that decided we did not need a Golf Smiley? man o man... the nerve of some folks!:tease
