Ricky D Broniste

Give the songs a listen from the playlist or videos, and listen closely to the lyrics.  Please take the time to read my Blogs that I post here, too. I use song lyrics or Bible scriptures that, make you think as, the music touches your soul.  Contemporary Christian music, rock, blues & pop with a message. The songs are meant to bless Believers, and get curious unbelievers interested in Biblical truths. Read my Blogs that I post here, too. MISSION:      The goal of my ministry is to spread the Gospel as far as possible. I hope and pray the songs I share, will cause people to be awakened.  Awakened to either become Born Again and/or to encourage Christians to confess sin, distance from God and come back to their First Love. (Revelation 2:4) INFLUENCES:      I am a singer, songwriter and performer of Contemporary Christian Music with Classic Rock/Pop expression.  I was and still am, strongly influenced by 60's & 70's Rock. My guitar compositions and lead guitar solos are derived from styles of Tony Iomi, Mark Farner, Carlos Santana and Billy Gibbons.  I keep hoping the keyboard portions get somewhat closer to the sounds of Jon Lord (Deep Purple), Ken Hensley (Uriah Heep) and Ray Manzarek of The Doors. "As a Fisher of Men, I can only catch some with what would be called Stink Bait (horrible smelling but, loved by the fish/people or in other words... in other words, what isn't liked). You can please some of the people some of the time but, not ALL the people all the time. In my case, I use Rock (soft, heavy, hard), Blues and Pop styled music as my bait. Knowing what it takes to reach someone with what they like, I will use certain other genres and allow others the freedom to use their Music Bait. I admit that certain genres are hard for me to handle." 2 Cor 2:16 OUR WORLD: 2nd Tim 3:1-5 NKJV..."But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come:  For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,  unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good,  traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,  having a form of godliness but denying its power."
