It's the next step, isn't it? You adore something, and then
the next step is that you can become devoted to it.
Adoration…isn't quite enough, and I think devotion is
moving one step further. It's a process.
--Peter Furler
It's obvious after only a few minutes with newsboys
frontman and songwriter Peter Furler that the man is
defined by his relationships and a profound commitment to
those relationships that include his band mates, longtime
associates, brothers and mentors in Christ, his wife and
God. A significant theme in this core of associations has
been Peter's recommitment and ardent loyalty to the latter
two, prompting a restored spirit evident in the band's
newest record, devotion.
Peter describes the aptly titled, 13th national release
devotion as a na More...

------ About the song Something Beautiful performed by Newsboys
Wow, you guys are so talented. This song is so versatile, it's a Christian song, and seems like a love song at the same time. I look at this song as a love song to God and I's relationship, and my boyfriend and I's relationship. It's also very inspiring. I love it so much, you guys are very talented, and I LOVE your music!

------ About the song Shine performed by Newsboys
Heath, I don't know if you ACTUALLY consider yourself a christian, or if you're some punk who thinks he knows what being christian means but...John 3:16 "For God so loved THE WORLD that he gave his one and only son, that whoever believes in him will not perish, but have eternal life". God certainly DOES love everyone, and doesn't take sides. And that's good news for you sir, because you would certainly not be on His side.

------ About the song Breakfast performed by Newsboys
This song reminds me of go and bad times. I have had a breakfast club, most of those friends have past on or have moved away. I listen to this song I may cry in memory, but I always smile. Its a good song with a good beat and a good meaning. Thank you.
forget the metamophor | Reviewer: CK
------ About the song Shine performed by Newsboys
forget the bouncer, forget the eskimo, forget the dictator (for a bit). read the chorus. it just tells Christians to be happy, joyful and to be full of life, set an example that would make others wonder why they are so happy (shine, make ´em wonder what you´ve got). It's technically a song for Christians to set an example, not a song that forces Christianity down the throat of non-Christians. it's really a narrow minded thinking pattern to just focus on the bouncer (as I have noticed here) and not quenching on the whole song and understand it truly.

He most certainly does not Mikey, and if you choose the wrong side there will, literally, be Hell to pay. If Christianity bothers you because it doesn't say that everything everyone does is fine and dandy, that's your cross to bear, not ours.
I guess what bothers you most is that Christians (you know - that group, that crowd, "those people") judge others. Unlike yourself.

------ About the song Stay Strong performed by Newsboys
Although I am an old granny, when I first heard this song on T.V., it touched me deeply. The Newsboys are my favorite group and when I heard Peter Furler was no longer going to lead them I was devastated. I had even planned on the K-Love cruise again this year because the NB's were going to be on it..Never heard anymore! And when I called to request the song on the radio station--91.1 fm in New Orleans they said it wasn't on their playlist. Well, I am hoping this comment will get some results. Please reply. Thank you.
This song reminds me about this one wednesday night at church when we were singing and I cant remember if it was this song or some other song but I saw one of my friends crying, Idk if she was just sad or wanting forgiveness or something like that. But it made me feel weird cuz i felt like i should be doing that same thing, asking for forgiveness. I've never really understood why people go to the altars and what they do there, if your reading this then please feel free to reply to this. I hope that I get to go to Mission Arlington this next Spring Break with the rest of the youth group at my church. So that we could teach them about God and How much he loves and cares for us! I LOVE Jesus Christ!!! and God!!
love this song! | Reviewer: Kelly
------ About the song Shine performed by Newsboys
I think some of the reviewers here need to go back and re-read the lyrics without taking them so literally...the song is not about putting others down, but showing people that there is no way to explain the feeling you have when you've accepted Jesus...the writers chose to use complete opposite personalities to illustrate how God can turn your life around for the better...and people should "shine" and let others know how happy they can be with Jesus so that they will want to accept Him too...

until i read the lyrics | Reviewer: michael
------ About the song Shine performed by Newsboys
i am really not into christian anything but i like good rhythm when i hear it regardless of the genre. but, when i read the lyrics of this song it reaffirmed my dislike for christianity, this is not a song of being proud of who you are(that is what i get for thinking, yeah) but a song of looking down on others. GOD LOVES ALL BUT CHRISTIANS DON'T.

I was going through a very tough time with my wife and this song was one that helped to get through it. I still listen to it when I get a little down and remember that our love is worth fighting for. Thanks to Newsboys!

this song, I think, expresses the goal of every missionary out there! I, just this past week, discovered that my calling is to be a missionary, and this song is just an amen to everything I believe!

this song is great. thee chorus was fantastic. it is very strong and powerful. u actually think about the lyrics while listening to the song. this song is especially unique and no other christian artist can do a song that is better than this one. so great job! well done...
This whole album is a fine piece of art, as well as a fine piece of encouragement to Christians. It always excites me to see that there are still musicians that make great music with great lyrics, the kind that God speaks through.

------ About the song Shine performed by Newsboys
This is such a clever song. Wish they were still making music like this. As for the hotly debated bouncer line, yeah, they said it. It's not that the song is ABOUT a bouncer taking ballet, but it's fairly clear that they barely dodge actually saying the word "gay." They way they say it, it's "even bouncers who aren't... happy." as if they think better of what they're saying at the last second. Not to mention that happy doesn't rhyme with ballet, where gay does.
And, uh, there are lots of things in the bible that aren't in the 10 commandments.
This song is very true you just need to get rid of your burdens and you will feel fly!
I love to listen to this song when I'm feeling down
I makes me feel happy and cheerful!
The world needs more bands like the newsboys to spread the word of god and happiness!!!!!!!!!
Shine | Reviewer: Pat
------ About the song Shine performed by Newsboys
Great song. I've noticed some people saying that the song is about a bouncer being gay or something to that extent. How are you even coming close to that interperitation? It a straight man can take ballet too. They were just choosing something that doesn't fit the sterotype of a tough guy. If they were implying homosexuality, don't you think they would've used a lyric that was more implict than one that just reads that he isn't happy and wants to take ballet? Also, from the phrasing of the song, it implies that God's love CAUSED him to take up ballet. Think about the lyrics before post something negative about it.
Awkward | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song Shine performed by Newsboys
I adore this song and think that it's a shame that they used the bouncer / ballet lyrics. Being gay is not a sin. Have you checked out the 10 commandments lately? When Moses went up to have a secret meeting with God by himself to deliver THE ULTIMATE WORD OF OUR SACRED LORD GOD, these are the top 10 that came back?? There's only 10 rules in stone? God can't find a way to make sure that we all have access to this information personally? Some huge things are conveniently left out? We can rape people but we can't push a button on Sunday without fearing death? I would urge Christians to dig deeper into the history of their faith and find out where these beliefs really came from. Please consider the time frame that the Bible was written in and how many other religions have identical "stories". Unfortunately, the undertones that this song sends out scrambles the intended message.
