Here's another entry in my ongoing series of posts featuring faith-based songs centered around a theme. This time up, the songs are about the kingdom of God. Inspiration for the post came from my recently hearing and loving the first song in this collection. But I enjoyed discovering (or hearing again) all the other songs in this set as well. Hope you will, too! ~ JH

Not exactly "opposites" are these two words, but definitely related, especially when it comes to the physics of aerodynamics. That being said, the songs in this collection have little or nothing to do with aerodynamics. There's a disproportionately high number of lesser-known artists/singers in this one, but don't let that dissuade you from taking a listen. Some good stuff here. Enjoy! ~ JH
