I love how God can use what some Christians say is evil music to reach the lost. There songs have helped me thru a lot of storms in life they taught me to be Bold in Christ they will forever be my number one band ever because they right truth and they don’t compromise awesome RIP

There is no evil music. Just evil spirits that influence the motive of the music

[@jahmmchol5288]

God gave us music to praise his glory There was something a heard a while back "tho it may be the Voice of God coming through, it's the devil that plays your instruments".. how interesting. I have returned for an edit. Those who took or will take this wrong, all in getting at is, it's not the sound of the music it's the words and message that are either satanic or Godly. Almost everyone of For Today's songs. Have an opposite spectrum song from a nother group that's on the "darker end" of things. How interesting.

[@aerobim9148]

I won't go back the way I came There is no turning back. I'd walked away from everything that could save me. I won't go back the way I came There is no turning back. I once was blind, but now I see things clearly. I'll never see the world the same way. The words of truth within this Man forever changed me. Is He just flesh and blood, or is there more to the power I see? Filled with the strength of God, but He moves and breathes as a man, just like me. When the Spirit overcomes the flesh You'll see One man with power over death. So let me die. And let the saints rise. With hands like mine, He turned water to wine. Let me die. And let the saints rise. With hands like mine, He gave sight to the blind And He opened up my eyes I won't go back the way I came. There is no turning back I'd walked away from everything that could save me. I won't go back the way I came There is no turning back I once was blind, but now I see things clearly. I'll never see the world the same way. The words of truth within this Man forever changed me. Break the chains that bind me. Flesh and blood, filled with the fire of God, Come break the chains of my bondage. Flesh and blood, filled with the fire of God, Deliver us from the darkness. How could a man like me be a man that's so unlike me? The words you say got me turned away from the man I might be. My hands can build, but your hands can create. My hands can help, but your hands can save. I won't go back the way I came There is no turning back. I'd walked away from everything that could save me. I won't go back the way I came There is no turning back. I once was blind, but now I see things clearly. I'll never see the world the same way. The words of truth within this Man forever changed me. The blind will see flesh and blood, filled with the fire of God. Come break the chains of my bondage. Flesh and blood, filled with the fire of God, Deliver us from the darkness.

I miss For Today so much, but Mattie is changing lives with the power of God. This is history in the making.

[@kylemelunis3224]

Ive listened to this band before but never really looked at the deep meanings of the lyrics until this past Wednesday. We had Mattie Montgomery come speak at our college in Virginia and share a message with us. This dude is so chill. I love how he publicly is open and plays a popular style of music that portrays his open faith to everyone. This dude is inspiring... This dudes chill.

[@warrior9758]

Heck Yes got to meet him at LU!

[@marcelinegarcia4330]

Just started listening to this band and I just learned it's a Christian band. Although I'm atheist I don't mind listening to Christian music and I am getting into this band and I like this song too. It's bands like these that prove to ignorant people that this genre of music is not "devilish" or "evil" or "satanic" it proves to people that you can worship the lord in anyway so I give props to this band that make music the way they do and be who they are and not have to change just for the fame. 👏👏👏

[@chrisepperson5597]

Mattie just shared a message at Liberty University, can you believe that? So awesome, I don't mean to lower him but rather my understanding of what God is capable of. His message was how a lot of Christians like the spotlight, big churches and massive intelligence. I tell you now he was right, some of us will never be noticed. However, some of the most important moments in the bible are started by nobodies, their names aren't even there, except in God's memory. He is not far from you and he has not forgotten you, keep the faith.

[@robertoesquivel4447]

Chris Epperson saw it and you can tell he still struggles with the pride and fame but I'm glad he was honest about it and I trust he's genuinely trying to get better about it! Awesome message though!

I remember the first time I heard this song. It came on my pandora while sitting on a city bus heading home in Ft. Lauderdale. I had just gotten off of work as a formwork carpenter. Nothing but a mattress on a floor in a shitty apartment. It resonated with me then to keep going. I’m older now. Married with a kid. I sit behind a desk. It still hits the same as it did back then. Amazing song.

Christianity is the only religion that accepts litterly everyone. Christ died for everyone and accepts every culture and style and world view me I'm a Gothic Christian which in historical terms is a true Goth. I love Chrisian metal and scremo all the good stuff nothing's wrong with I just because the style isn't generally Christian it can still be Christian. Psalms 33:3 says sing to The Lord and shout for joy, For today is shouting loud and a new song. Just because the people of the Christian religion don't accept people dosent mean we are in the right because all Christians are supposed to love and accept every people like Christ taught.

For today's influence is the message of God. August burns red is a christian band but God is not really their influence in music. They're both equal.

[@robertoesquivel4447]

InsaneM3talGuitarist God is just as much August Burns Reds musics influence as For Today, even if ABR isn't as specific they speak just as much truth and maybe arguably even more so than For Today

[@williampantoja8004]

Redemption is 1000% God inspired. But yes in terms of using the name of Jesus and being more outward, ABR doesn’t. They make you dig into the lyrics to absorb the message. Meridian has a verse from Jeremiah in the lyrics as well.

[@warrior9758]

I'm super confused to see a bunch of Christians post on here, but they can't show a clean mouth when typing? Good works are a reflection of the Holy Spirit working in you because you have salvation. So i'm not condemning anyone, just remember that your tongue is a reflection of your heart as in James 3 "Not many of you should become teachers, my fellow believers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly. 2 We all stumble in many ways. Anyone who is never at fault in what they say is perfect, able to keep their whole body in check. 3 When we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we can turn the whole animal. 4 Or take ships as an example. Although they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are steered by a very small rudder wherever the pilot wants to go. 5 Likewise, the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark. 6 The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole body, sets the whole course of one’s life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell. 7 All kinds of animals, birds, reptiles and sea creatures are being tamed and have been tamed by mankind, 8 but no human being can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison. 9 With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse human beings, who have been made in God’s likeness. 10 Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers and sisters, this should not be. 11 Can both fresh water and salt water flow from the same spring? 12 My brothers and sisters, can a fig tree bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Neither can a salt spring produce fresh water."
