I grew up in the "drugs, sex, rock 'n' roll" generation. I'm not proud of my generation when feminism erupted, "free" love became the identifying phrase of the times, the Viet Nam war raged, and drug taking introduced people to new addictions. The highlight of that time was some of the best music and most talented musicians creating a wealth of truly great tunes. Rock 'n' roll gained fame and fortune for many, but of course it came with its costs such as drug overdoses and addictions.

One of the talented musicians of the day, who grew up in the church, Mylon LeFevre, allowed his talent to outshine his faith and fell into the troubles of the times with some of the best of that day. Like many of them, he ended up in treatment. When he regained his faith, he committed to Jesus, humbled himself, and left his music behind, but a wise pastor explained that God didn't give him his talent to be tucked away and hidden. Eventually, Mylon reunited with a guitar, formed his band Broken Heart. and made some of the best Christian rock to ever be played.

Sharing a couple of those songs with you here.  

 

Father, you are the Rescuer, the Redeemer, the Ressurect-er. Jesus, thank you is never enough. Holy Spirit, thank you for never giving up on us. Please continue to bless Mylon in all he does for your Name. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.
