Hey! Welcome to Hardcore Devotion. I am so glad you're here, and so is God!
This is a site dedicated to Bible devotions and personal testimonies. It is also dedicated to introducing people to Christ and introducing saved-but-backsliding Christians to the best kind of music there is--Christian metal. (Yes, there is such a thing, and yes, it's good.) In fact, the song that's playing right now is a take on 1 Corinthians 13 by P.O.D. But most importantly, this site is dedicated to showing people who Christ REALLY is. There are confused churches in the world too caught up in religion and not caught up enough in God, and these churches can hurt and confuse unbelievers. This site (and I personally) have a heart for healing the wounds of non-Christians that have been hurt by misguided misconceptions of God, and leading them to a relationship with Him. But you can read more about that in the mission statement. For now, let's get started! To navigate the site, just click on a link on the menu at the top of the screen. Here's a run-down of what each section of the menu is about along with the song that plays on that page:
Who's Jesus? is an introduction to the most rockin' person who ever lived, is still alive today, and wants to know you. Song: "The Way I Feel" by 12 Stones
Christian Headbangers is a part of the site devoted to the music I personally love. It talks about why you should choose Christian rock/punk/metal over secular rock/punk/metal, and has links to Christian Metal, Christian Rock, and Christian Punk sites. Props to Doug Childers for his work on this one. Song: "Symbiotic" by Living Sacrifice
Weekly Devotion is where I post the weekly devotion. For those who don't know, a devotion is a passage from the Bible that you meditate on and try to use in your daily life for however long it is for, in this case a week. Song: "Imperfection" by Skillet
Monthly Testimony is where someone tells an inspiring story about something God has done in their life. Song: "New Medicines" by Dead Poetic
Forum is an awesome message board where you guys can chat about Jesus, music, testimonies, verses, or whatever. Go get your very own HARDCORE DEVOTION user name and start posting! There are plenty of topics to choose from, like the Hardcore Cafe and The Sound Booth. Go check it out! But please, keep it clean!
Mission is the mission statement of this site and me personally.
Articles is just a place where I stick extras that I write. Song: "A Shadow on Me" by Project 86
Site Map is an area that will help you navigate the site. Song: "Falling Further" by Spoken
Links is an area for other links pertaining to Christianity and Christian music. Check it out and send me any links you think would be appropriate for the page. Song: "Pretendeavor: In Reference to a Sinking Ship" by Norma Jean
If you scroll down, you will see the site news and a poll. Also, make sure to sign the guestbook (bottom of the screen) and tell me what you think, especially if you think I could improve on some things!
