It's hard to believe that another year of the SGN Fan Festival has come and gone. For the 9th year in a row, fans have come from across the nation to be blessed and moved by great Gospel singing
I had the pleasure of meeting Lanny Wolfe a few weeks ago. Although I had grown up in California, and even taken piano lessons from one of Lanny's former students, I had never met the man who has written so many wonderful songs that have stood the test of time
How many times do we say things and behave in ways that are selfish and short-sighted? The Lord has a plan for your life. He knows your strengths and your weaknesses and has planned your perfect path.
The Bible, states and restates that Christ’s suffering as God’s sacrificial Lamb at Pilate’s Judgment Hall, followed by His death, burial, resurrection and ascension provided the “Double Cure” for humanity’s sin and sickness problems
Radio airplay is the primary marketing outlet for gospel music. Stations pay for licenses from ASCAP, BMI, and SESAC and the proceeds are distributed to the songwriters and publishers. However, artists and labels have never been paid a performance royalty for over-the-air broadcasts
