KRUSADE Christian Rock Band - Official Website

We believe in the existence and in the sovereign power of the Lord, God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; who sent His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ (John 3:16), who lived a sinless life upon the earth in the form of a man. We believe that the Holy Bible is the exclusive and inspired Word of God, and that it contains all things necessary for salvation.

We believe Jesus' statement that He is "the Way, the Truth, and the Life; [the only way] to the Father" (John 14:6). We believe in the necessity of repentance (Luke 24:47, Acts 3:19) and of a profession of faith in Jesus Christ (Romans 10:10). We believe that salvation can be received only by the grace of God, and not of our own works; (Ephesians 2: 8-9, Romans 6:23), but that a Christian lifestyle must follow (I John 2:1-6), through the habitual practice of prayer (I Tim 2:8, James 5:16), Bible study (John 5:39, 2 Tim 3:16), holy living (I Thess 5:23), and fellowship with believers (Hebrews 10:25).

We believe that Jesus Christ suffered and died (Acts 2:22-23), was buried, and arose from the grave (Acts 2:24); that He ascended into Heaven (Acts 1:9) where He remains upon His throne (Acts 2:30-33); and that He sent the Holy Spirit as a comfort and guide to His followers (John 15:26, 16:7) until the Day that He returns (Acts 1:11, I Thess 4:16-17) to judge the living and the dead (Acts 10:42, 2 Tim 4:1, Hebrews 9:28). As children of God (John 1:12) and followers of Jesus Christ (I Peter 2:21), we accept His Commission to use our talents (Matt 25:14-15) and gifts (I Cor 12:4-11) to take His Gospel to the world, teaching His absolute Truth (Matt 28:18-20).

Our PRIMARY GOALS as a band are

(1) to spread the Gospel of salvation through Jesus

Christ, through music and ministry (Matt 28:18-20,

Col 3:16);

(2) to uplift, edify, and encourage Christians in their

continued walk with Christ (I Cor 14:26,

Eph 4:11-12);

(3) to preach and teach, through music and witness,

the doctrines of the Holy Bible (Col 3:16);

(4) to lead by example the praise and worship of the

one True Living God (Judges 5:3, 2 Chron 5:13,

Psalm 150); and

(5) to entertain our audience (Mark 9:50, Col 4:6).

"Hear, O ye kings; give ear, O ye princes; I, even I, will sing unto the LORD; I will sing praise to the LORD God of Israel." (Judges 5:3)

"It came even to pass, as the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the LORD; and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of music, and praised the LORD..." (2 Chronicles 5:13)

"And the children of Israel that were present at Jerusalem... and the Levites and the priests praised the LORD day by day, singing with loud instruments unto the LORD." (2 Chronicles 30:21)

"Praise ye the LORD. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power. Praise him for his mighty acts: praise him according to his excellent greatness. Praise him with the sound of the trumpet: praise him with the psaltery and harp. Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed instruments and organs. Praise him upon the loud cymbals: praise him upon the high sounding cymbals. Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD." (Psalm 150:1-6)

"And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen." (Matthew 28:18-20)

"Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand." (Ephesians 6: 10-13)

"Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord." (Colossians 3:16)

"How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying." (I Corinthians 14:26)

"And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:"

(Ephesians 4:11-12)
