The Folly of Song
The Folly of Song

Scripturally speaking, music is warfare. Music is a uniquely effective teaching device. Music is the wave worship rides on in the throne room.

Yet in light of all these things, we find that music is one of His methods of maturing us.

The Wheat, the Tares, the [Roaring] Twenties [PILGRIM IV Excerpt] // FAI'S 10-YEAR ANNIVERSARY (Copy)

We want revival—and it’s coming, but it’s coming with persecution. Everyone wants Antioch, but we forget that it was the persecution in and destruction of Jerusalem that birthed Antioch. Everyone wants the Moravian lamp stand, but it was the persecution in Prague that birthed the Moravian movement. This persecution, these tares, are the fire that purge you to preserve you. Persecution keeps you clean.

10 Years // A Letter from President Dalton Thomas
10 Years // A Letter from President Dalton Thomas

Adoniram Judson, pioneer to Burma, once wrote: “In spite of sorrow, loss, or pain, our course be onward still; we sow on Burma’s barren plain—we reap on Zion’s hill.” As we look back over FAI's first ten years, remembering our own soiled diapers and first steps, we look forward to the next ten years with confidence in the Lord of the Harvest: “this Gospel of the Kingdom will be preached to everyone everywhere as a witness, and then the end will come.”
