So I was looking at the normally meaningless
bulletins people have posted when I saw something that peaked my
interest. It was a bulletin from Grammatrain. It read:

"Some News about Grammatrain Coming Out Soon

It will be exciting. You will like it. You will cheer.

I can't say what it is yet.

Stay tuned!

Grammatrain"


Words cannot describe how excited I am right now! I just hope it doesn't turn out to be a total letdown.

Pete Stewart is no longer a Christian so I wouldn't expect to much as far as the original line up goes. Unless of course they reform as a secular band.

Yeah, true. But they still have an awesome sound

I just wonder if they are regrouping without Pete Stewart. Or, maybe Pete has recovered from his crisis of faith. Who knows?

I really liked both of the Grammatrain CDs. But, I even more liked Pete's solo disc that he did after Grammatrain broke up.

These guys are actually from my neck of the woods (somewhere), so you can find both of the Grammatrain discs in bargin bins and used stores all over here.

Gotta confess I never was much of a fan, had both discs and traded them.

Funny, I'm actually sitting here listening to Grammatrain as I read this! Grammatrain is one of my favorite bands.

I was wondering what you guys think about listening to them since Pete has left his faith?

I'm not against secular music (I actually listen to Nirvana way more than Grammatrain)......but hearing Christian lyrics from someone who isn't a believer anymore is just kinda weird. I'm not judging at all; I'm just saying its kinda weird. What do you guys think?

And I'd be THRILLED if there were a new Grammatrain disc!

I certainly don't think there is anything wrong with listening to Grammatrain, even if the main songwriter claims to no longer be a Christian.
We expect that at the time the songs were written that they were written to exalt the Lord. Just because the person has lost their way does not mean the song is no longer worthy.
And who knows if God is done with Pete Stewart. He may come back to the fold anyday.
Assume we quit listening to the music because Stewart left his faith. What happens if he comes back? Does that mean we can listen to it again? But in the mean-time what has change about the song? Nothing. Seems kind of strange to me, that someone would forsake a song because the song-writer had a crisis of faith.

Heck look at Liberty & Justice albums. They are full of non-believers singing Christian themed songs. I've always thought that was a little strange myself.

First time I saw Grammatrain was in 94 as an opening act for Holy Soldier somewhere in Oregon. Bought their demo tape and still like it. Also saw their last performance here in Germany. Was great too. Keep Pete in prayer!

Where did you find that quote from Topshot?

From someone very involved in the project. I don't want to cause any strife for anyone involved so I won't say, but the public should know what to expect. Keep praying for Pete.

Perhaps by putting Pete back with Grammatrain, God is getting ready to restore his faith.

As far as not listening to their past work due to Pete's lack of faith, I think that would be a huge disservice to the band. If you enjoyed the band and their message stuck with you, then why wouldn't you continue to listen? Same goes for Vengence Rising & Roger. The past work still stands as it was God focused.
