DC Talk - Jesus Freak

Some people have a problem with Christian music that has an edge or seems too modern.

If you look back through history, Christian music has reflected it's time and place of origin and the way it proclaimed its love of GOD in a way felt by those who wrote it and heard it.

The other point that the song and the imagery of the video makes, that people have been persecuted for their faith even unto ridicule, torture or death. The images shown of persecution are mainly from the Soviet era in Russia, NAZISM in Germany and the Civil Rights Movement in the U.S.

I am posting this music video also as a dedication to all those who are persecuted to this day for their Christian faith.
