Even though Christian artists claim that they believe in all of the things I listed above, their music usually never gets past their niche audience because of cliched songwriting, lack of emotion, lack of creativity, lack of talent, and lack of consistency. If you sincerely believe with all of your heart that that you were predestined to make music for this LORD, that the LORD loves every person with all his heart, and that you want to "bring as many" people to this LORD as possible then you should have some sort of emotion and divinely inspired creativity in your music. I have always felt that if your music centers around something as powerful as the existence of an all loving, all knowing and all controlling God, then your music should have some sort of emotion behind it.

Latinen is strongest when he's pushing his voice to the limit, as on "The Only One That Could Ever Reach You," the opener off On Time Spent Waiting., the band's best release to date. This husband and wife duo from Fenton, Michigan appeals right to the listener's heartstrings, combining twinkly riffs right out of American Football's self titled album with Keith Latinen's passionate voice.
