Since 2006, the band has released a number of albums on the Jesus Culture Music label. Their 2011 album, Awakening (Live from Chicago), appeared at No. 133 on the Canadian SoundScan charts.[8] Christianity Today negatively reviewed the album, criticizing it for "amps of staggering sound leave little room for thoughtful reflection or deliberate contemplation",[9] while Jesus Freak Hideout praised it for its "very overt sense of passion for the LORD and worshiping him."[10]
The tenth album, Unstoppable Love, was released in June 2014. Some critics called it "one of their best",[11] "passionate",[12] and "powerful",[13] while others see this newest offering as "a missed opportunity for the band to push themselves a little more musically" other than another CD with musicality that "get[s] bigger and bigger, wider and wider."[14]
Banning and SeaJay Liebscher lead from a passion to see lives and cities awakened and transformed by an encounter with Jesus. By raising up leaders and equipping the church, they advance the Kingdom of God and inspire others to join the pursuit of revival in our day.
The other day I came across the song "Unstoppable Love" by Jesus Culture. It's definitely a song from the worship genre of contemporary Christian music. So if you don't like this genre you might not like the song, musically speaking.
What struck me about the song, especially given the song's popularity in evangelical circles, is that, well, it's a song that beautifully expresses the theology behind universal reconciliation. Seriously, if you sing this song you believe in universal reconciliation.
From the chorus of "Unstoppable Love":
God, You pursue me, with power and glory
Unstoppable love that never ends
You're unrelenting, with passion and mercy
Unstoppable love that never ends
No sin, no shame, no past, no pain
Can separate me from Your love
No height, no depth, no fear, no death
Can separate me from Your loveGod's love is unstoppable, unrelenting and it never ends. Not even death can stop it. I don't know how this song, theologically, avoids being a song about universal reconciliation.
Well, I guess you can sing this song if you endorse the doctrine of election that God's love is "unstoppable" for the very few people whom God elects, the belief that God's love is "unstoppable" if God happens to love you. And if not? Sucks to be you!
But if you believe what 1 Timothy 2.4 says, that God "desires all people to be saved," and that God's love is "unstoppable," I don't know how you avoid the inevitable conclusion of universal reconciliation.
5. In 1988, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops issued guidelines for the depiction/dramatizations of the passion and death of Jesus in "Criteria for the Evaluation of Dramatizations of the Passion." If you can, take some time to read the document. How well do you think "The Passion of the Christ" 1) creates bonds between Christians and Jews and 2) avoids stereotypes and false impressions? Please explain your answers.
Jesus Culture has also had a significant impact on the local church. The movement has helped to create a culture of worship and prayer in many congregations, leading to a deeper sense of intimacy with God and a greater awareness of His presence.
The weekly message from our local church, Jesus Culture Sacramento, a community of believers passionate about raising up leaders to impact every realm of society with the supernatural power and love of God.
Melissa is a lover of Jesus! She has a passion to see a generation radically changed by the LOVE of God, living set apart, and releasing the Spirit wherever they go. She started as a worship Leader at Bethel's Youth Group.
"My passion is to come to place in worship, not just as a Worship Leader, but as a people, where we are in a constant ecounter, like a constant conversation with him where we don't even need to use songs neccesariy but its a connection of the heart." - Melissa How
Another possible explanation for its success may be that the performance of the Passion forms some kind of preservation of cultural heritage. The story of Jesus has been a central part of the formation of contemporary Dutch culture, even if it no longer holds the level of accepted truth that it once did. Perhaps the performances of The Passion are in some way an attempt to reconnect contemporary Dutch society with this element of its cultural history. In this way, the story of Jesus, rather than being a religious narrative, becomes akin to a folk tale. In the same way that we retell stories from Greek and Roman mythology, perhaps the story of Jesus is also entering that realm of public myth.
