We are Still Among the Living!!

Hey folks, Its been a long time since we have updated this site, but here we go. WE actually have some great news! WE are excited to let everyone know that we have come to an agreement with Rural Rhythm Records, and our new CD will be on that label. The CD is finished on our end, but we will have to wait a bit longer for post production work. This is a special project for us. We have a big bunch of guest on here and we can’t wait to get it out.
WE have taken some time off over the holidays. We love being able to sing, play, and visit on the road, but it was a real treat to spend some quality time with our families and worship at our home church. Many of our extended family members are very sick. two of our uncles ED and Harold are stroke victims, our Grandmother Helton fell and broke her hip, and Andy’s father-in-law,Ernest Wright has cancer. Please pray for them and our country. We are living in a scary, yet exciting time. Keep us in your prayers as we start up traveling again. God Bless

A very big Merry Christmas from Locust Ridge to everyone!! Let us never forget nor be ashamed of why we celebrate CHRISTmas!! We are,as always, very blessed and thankful for what God has been doing for and with us! We are in the middle of making our newest album and need all the prayers we can get.

It’s been a busy few weeks for the guys in the group. Singing kind of slowed down a little but everything else stepped up a notch. Now its time to get back in the routine of singing. We hope that you all can keep us all and the things in our lives in your prayers. We believe that in all things we do, God needs to be the center of it. Especially in doing his work. Prayers always help and we can certainly feel them when we stand to sing. We hope to see you at some of our upcoming singings but if not, keep in touch with us on here or on facebook. We would rather see you at singings though! (HINT) We pray that God Blesses You All!!!

We wanted to let everyone know that there will soon be a “Products” page added to the site. This will allow you to order our music strait from the web-site by using pay pal. We’ll have four CDs available for purchasing. Also, please PRAY for us as we try to get the right songs together for a new project. We always want our music to have a strong message and for Gods hand to be on what we do. Prayer makes a huge difference. Thank you for all your support and prayers. -Locust Ridge

Winter on Locust Ridge

Well, winter has certainly found its way to Locust Ridge. We have had more snow this year than we have had in a long time. We have had to reschedule a few singings, and the ole bus has not moved in over a month. God has been continuely blessing us, as he always does. We are working on songs for the upcoming album. Please continue to pray that God’s hand will be on our ministry. We have missed being on the road, and look forward to seeing you as soon as the snow melts. God Bless, see you soon Locust Ridge

God is Awesome

We haven’t posted anything lately but there has been some great things happening. We have gone through a streak of great services. God has really blessed us with his spirit. It’s nothing that we do but it’s just the awesome grace and mercy of God. In our last singing, several people came to the altar and one woman was saved! It excites us to be a part of that. Thanks to everyone who prays for and supports our ministry. It not only helps us, it helps to expand the kingdom of God! Most of our thanks goes to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, for first of all saving us and also for giving us so many blessing. He’s a Real God and he’s an Awesome God!!

Barabbas

“But the high priests and elders persuaded the crowds to ask for Barabbas and to demand that Jesus be put to death.” – Mat 27:20
Russell has written a beautiful song on the Nails album entitled “I Am Barrabus”. The first verse describes the setting of the release of Barrabus, and condemnation of my Savior. As Locust Ridge sang the words of the song, I could see the crowd screaming for the blood of Jesus while Barrabus stumbled away from the judgement seat a little baffled by what had taken place. These same people that had sentenced Barrabus to death were now asking for his release. It was always God’s plan to provide an everlasting sacrifice for our sins through the cross. I would like to think these events had enough of an impact on his life to cause Barrabus to change his ways and repent for his sins.
Much like Barrabus, my sins had condemed me to die. However, Jesus took my place and paid my sin debt. While I can never be worthy of such a gift, by asking Christ into my heart, and accepting him as my Lord, I have the promise of eternal life. “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” – Romans 6:23
“I Am Barrabus” was the inspiration for the drawing. It is my interpretation of how the scene might have looked over 2000 years ago through the eyes of Barrabus after being released. Over the guard’s right shoulder, the high priest calls for the death of Jesus, while Pilate stands helpless, unable to change God’s divine plan.
