Kerrie Roberts is new on the music scene. If by "new" I mean the past couple of years...and I do! She's got a good voice and she will make a few albums. Does she have sustainability in the big sea of talent? Time will tell. In the meantime we will enjoy her music.
I really like this song because it should be true of every person who says they love and walk in God's ways. Note that I said "it should be". Unfortunately it is not. But that's a different blog because that's a big soapbox for me to climb up on to! Roberts sings about being an outcast, the right kind of one, in this world. Go against the flow of culture and reach for the higher standard. We aren't reaching for the higher standard, or any standard at all, when we blend in so seamlessly to the culture that nobody can tell if we love Jesus or not! This song encourages Christians to be outcasts - be different, be Godly, be Holy, be sanctified (which means SET APART). It isn't popular to be an outcast but who are we trying to win popularity points with? The world and it's depravity or God and his call to Holiness? We have to decide.
As for me? I choose to be an outcast, it's really the only way to live! :)
