The Becoming

This week per the advice of one of my friends I finally took some time to look at the band The Becoming.  Honestly I really don’t know much about these guys other then what you can read on their MySpace page wearethebecoming, but I really like their sound.  The music reminds me of some of the secular stuff I was into (but walked away from once I decided to follow God and really watch what I allow into my spirit through my ears.)  Their album Volume 1 is available in stores and online (iTunes has it for $7.99).

Also check out the video for their single “I Cry” on their MySpace page or click below to watch it.

As with most new music I took the time to look up some of the lyrics and pay attention to the message the song is trying to get across.  I try to run the things I allow in through my eyes and ears (even if it’s from Christian artists, or Christian record labels) through what my wife and I call the Philippians 4:8 filter (Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.)   Remember you were bought with a very high price, and are too special to God to pollute yourself with garbage.
