Mohammed K Paika’s ‘Just Human’: A Call to Unity and Peace


Just Human' by Mohammed K Paika, is a touching and very relevant song about the growing lack of unity and peace in this world. Our world… where it seems that we have lost touch with the essence of our shared humanity. The song calls us to break down barriers - religious and political - and see each other as children of God. Sure, we can all point to politicians who sanction the violance, the children who pull knives (or worse) instead of talking, and the list goes on. But nothing will change until we change what we can. It starts with us, you and me. 

Mohammed K Paika - Just HumanMohammed's voice, combined with a unique musical blend of drums, synths, guitars, and piano, takes you on a musical journey that encourages you to find peace amid all of the global turmoil we see. 

The message of this song is so relevant, as we see the number of conflicts growing, like Israel-Palestine, Russia-Ukraine, and many more that don't even make the 6 o'clock news. Mohammed writes lyrics like, 'In the depths of my heart, a wish takes flight / Troubled by factions waging an endless fight,' that expressing what many of us feel… pain and a longing for peace. 

Mohammed sings, 'Peace is the answer, where we all belong,' suggesting that we should all give up our weapons, both real and figurative, like the words we use, and embrace the fact that we are all equal. God created us equal, and plans for each of us - there are no labels or divides. Imagine a world where borders blur as we stand hand in hand, grounded in faith and love. It's not a new thought, it's a message that has been heard for centuries, but the only advancements humanity seems to be making in this area is in the technology and strategies used in battle. 

Kyle Townsend's collaboration, together with Trevor Stanislaus and Hailey Summers, turns 'Just Human' into a heartfelt prayer for a world united. A prayer that we hope will be heard in more and more homes across the world. 

Give 'Just Human' a listen. May this song move your heart and spirit with its powerful message. It's time to look beyond our differences and find the divine unity that truly binds us all.

(Related scripture: Galatians 3:28; Ephesians 4:3; John 17:21)

"In the Room" by Matt Maher feat. Chris Brown: A Heartfelt Desire for Divine Presence

Matt Maher's collaboration with Chris Brown, 'In the Room,' is a soul-stirring Christian song that encapsulates the profound longing to witness transformative moments in the presence of God. The lyrics express the desire to be present when God's power touches broken hearts, ignites faith, and brings healing. The song's verses convey a yearning for those irreplaceable instances when heaven and earth intersect, leading to changed hearts and restored lives. The chorus's declaration, ' I just wanna be in the room when You move,' beautifully encapsulates the eagerness to witness God's miraculous work up close. The bridge's vivid imagery of tearing off the roof and pushing through the crowd reflects the determination to encounter God, no matter the obstacles. The repetition of the bridge emphasizes the earnest plea to witness God's breakthroughs and freedom. 'In the Room' is an invitation to be part of moments that are greater than oneself...

'Lonely Dirt Road' by Dax: A Journey to Solitude and God

Dax's 'Lonely Dirt Road' is a conversation that Dax has with himself and God. Dax shares his journey of turning mental health walks into healing solitary drives. As you listen, you can almost feel the cruise, where it's just you, your thoughts, and God.  The chorus is so relatable: 'When I need space, that's where I go, a place to escape that nobody knows.' What do you do when life's pressures stack high? Do you also have a space where you can let go? That lonely dirt road that Dax sings about symbolizes solitude, but it is also an incredible opportunity for connecting with God.  Dax's honesty is raw and relatable. 'I didn't want my family to see me cry… dealing with the pressure of trying to provide.' There are times when we all put on a smile to hide how challenging situations may be. Like his father, Dax says that he finds peace on this lonely road, where challenges become opportunities to grow. This shows the core of our faith: that...

"Sunlight (Storge)" by Chelsea Chaisson: Reminisce the Simpler Times

(by Jasper Tan) Feel good, light-hearted, easy listening track. That's how I find Chelsea Chaisson's new single called "Sunlight (Storge)." I was kind of curious what the word "Storge" means, so I had to look it up. According to Wikipedia, "Storge is a Greek word that refers to natural, familial affection or love, particularly the bond between parents and children, as well as among family members and close friends. It is characterized by familiarity, dependence, and loyalty, often rooted in kinship bonds and shared experiences." Sounds very familiar? Of course, it should be, because as per the description, it actually describes what Christian love is. Or should I say how God loves us as His children? Chelsea was inspired to write this song by reminiscing about her childhood, marked by simpler times spent with her cousins and their grandma.  Countless times, we always heard the saying that we all should have faith like a child. The reason for that i...
