Aug. 20, 2017
Greetings LoveMusic! listeners.
During our almost 40 years of marriage (Oct. 7, 2017!!!), Laurie and I have been involved with the worship teams, choirs, and any form of church music we could (including leading worship in home groups). Using the gifts the good Lord, the Living God of Israel has given us, we loved to sing His praises, worship His Name, and help bring others into the presence of the Holy Spirit.
From the days of Victory Church in Peru, Illinois (1977-1980); our years with Shiloh Fellowship/New Covenant Christian Church in East Lansing, Michigan (1980-1987); then seven years in Fort Lauderdale with Good News Church and Cornerstone Church (Davie, FL) from 1987-1994; onto the season with All Nations Church in Charlotte, North Carolina (1994-2000)...we have been involved with Christian music.
During those years we developed a love for Israel and His Chosen people, as we sought to walk in the full word of the Bible. Our hearts and voices then began to express our love for Messianic music, and it was especially revealed through the music we sang. With songs from Paul Wilbur, Barry and Batya Segal, Joel Chernoff and others having influence among us, we shared their music.
Then we walked through our years with other churches in the Charlotte, North Carolina area - Cornerstone Church (Pineville), St. Giles, Antioch International Church (Peter Wyns) MorningStar (Rick Joyner), and now attend Transformation Church (Derwin Gray) in Indian Land, South Carolina. (We were once called "wandering Jews", though of the Gentile flavor!)

Along the way, we gathered friends and had a few bands, with our desire to share Jesus (Yeshua) with believers and not-yet-believers. Thus Steve Martin & The Raiders and Ahava Love Band (various phases) came forth. Band members who were with us the longest included our big friend Little Big Eagle (bass), Ron Bowen (drums), and Wane Daroux (bass).

Also playing with us during those years were Mark DeVito (keyboard), John Rust (guitar), Bernie Lemke (keyboard), Gid Anthony (guitar) Patty Paquette (keyboard), Toni Bogart (keyboard) and Tom Fahey (guitar). We love them all!!!
Our last time leading worship occurred on September 21, 2013 at the One New Man worship gathering with our friend Warren Marcus in Charlotte. Cathy Hargett (Highway To Zion) and her dance team joined in the Saturday evening celebration.
As I always enjoy doing, I brought along my Canon PowerShot camera, placed it on the tripod, and recorded the time of praise and worship. Thus the video you shall see. Not spectacular or professional, but I believe our love (ahava in Hebrew) for the Lord and His people comes forth. I trust you will listen and worship the Lord along with us.
Maybe someday we will sing again in public, and lead worship. What a great joy that will be! Or the Lord may just have us wait until we are in the eternity realms singing His praises - in the glory land of heaven above. That will be the ultimate fulfillment of that desire which He Himself placed within us from the times of our birth.
Be blessed in your blessing others today.
Ahava and shalom. Always.

"Draw Me Close & Great Is The Lord"

Charlotte, North Carolina 1994-2001

Greetings to ye all,
Memories are to be part of our life, as we recall the good things the Living God of Israel has done. Remembering His acts of mercy, love and direction certainly are attributed to His very being so awesome. He is the great I AM.
When the Israelites crossed the Jordan River, the Lord commanded them to take stones from the river's bed, and make an altar on the other side. Not to glorify and make an idol, but to remember what the Lord had done. He brought them out of slavery, crossed them over in a miraculous way, and had them build a "memorial" of praise and thanksgiving.
Laurie and my time at All Nations Church, founded in 1993 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida by the families of Mahesh and Bonnie Chavda, Art and Ruth Maki, Mike and Leslie Adams, and Laurie and I, are very good memories of what the Lord did then, and continued to do in our lives for the next eight years as part of the ministry and church.
Being with the great men and women who combined their gifts, skill and talent on the worship team were also very special times in our memory banks. All those experiences together, be it during the eight hours each Friday night for those eight years we were members of All Nations and Mahesh Chavda Ministries, will always be forever part of our spiritual history.
Worshipping together at the various Charlotte locations, during the Sunday morning services in The Barn, on Granite Street, at the former Heritage USA amphitheatre, or finally at their current location on the former Fort Hope acres in Fort Mill, South Carolina (and don't forget the 40+ conferences we were part of over the total 14 years together!)...we will always remember the goodness of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, Yeshua HaMashiach.

...and now for a word from our sponsor.
Look here to buy:
We often hear the word “love” spoken out loud, and written about, in many ways. It has contrasting meanings to the wide range of people that exist, as it is expressed in different methods through people. When it has all been said and done, there is an eternal love that will stand the test of fire. Because the biblical expression of love, laying down one’s life for his friends, has eternal value, this love from God the Father to His creation is the type that I most seek after and try to share.
In these short chapters of Arms of Love, which is also the title of a song Laurie and I sang while leading various church worship meetings, and as the lead singers in our Ahava Love Band, I share some aspects of how I believe the Bible speaks of love. For you who are about to read this, my prayer is that your heart will be enlarged with His, and you too will become one, even more, to give love for His people, both Jew and Gentile, both saved and unsaved.
I hope that as you read these chapters, you will become more inspired to spend time with the Lord, experience His heart of love, and share it with our fellow man. The world needs to know the love of God.
Steve Martin

God Must Love Drummers - Now Think On This by Steve Martin
God Must Love
Drummers
by Steve
Martin
“David,
ceremonially dressed in priest's linen, danced with great abandon before God.”
(2 Samuel 6:14 THE MESSAGE)
Drummers fascinate me. They beat on those
skins. They bang on the cymbals. They give it all with such passion. Even as
King David danced with great abandon before God, I know drummers who have given
it their all, also in worship.
God must love drummers.
Laurie and I have led bands through two
decades - in churches, conferences, and in public places outside of the church
walls. Whether it was leading the Steve Martin & The Raiders band
back in 2002 (did you get that CD? Well, no one else did either!), the Ahava
Love Band from 2011-2013 (we did get some recordings with these great
guys) or the worship teams with All Nations Church (1994-2001), Cornerstone
Fellowship (2002-2004) or Antioch International Church on occasion (2011-2013),
one thing I really appreciated were our drummers.
I remember all well, for each one had a
special style. Combined with their joy and commitment to keep the foundation of
the music going steady, the sound they generated would fill the place. Often during the set I would
look back from my position in the front, give them a big smile of
encouragement, and continue leading, along with them, the listeners and
participants into the presence of the good Lord.
The list is long. Ron Bowen from Rock
Hill, SC has probably played the most hours with us. Beginning with All Nations
Church in 1998 or so, he was on the team for the Friday night all praise and
prayer times we called The Watch of the Lord, with Mahesh and Bonnie Chavda.
We’d lead worship from 10 pm until 6 am for years. Ron would be one of those
banging on the drums.

Steve Martin & The Raiders - 2002
When we started the Raiders, Ron was our drummer. Who was
the drummer for Ahava Love Band? Ron Bowen of course. His heart for the Lord
was contagious, and I loved seeing his big grin from behind the glass in the
corner, filling the room with his joy and zeal for the Lord.
Steve, Laurie, Wane Daroux on bass...
and Ron Bowen on drums!

Gilbert Crespo, All Nations Church, now
playing in person for the Lord Jesus in heaven, was a perfectionist. His
Caribbean flair just added immensely to his renditions. When we had guest
worship leaders at our Mahesh Chavda Ministries conferences from 1995-2001,
Gilbert was the drummer of choice. He recorded several CDs with Robert Stearns
of Eagles Wing, and others.
Brian Cockfield of Cornerstone Fellowship,
a mature drummer in his late 40s, seemed to always have this real seriousness
about him. All knew it was coming from a firm love for the Lord. James DeVito,
also at Cornerstone at the time we were, was a young guy with big aspirations. But
getting him there on time was a challenge we helped him work through, because the Lord
had His hand on James.
Matt Wyns of Antioch International Church
was another favorite of mine. He had that particular look while playing,
occasionally sharing a smile which you might catch coming out of the corner of
his mouth, that let you know this was good stuff. I like Matt.
Savannah (I knew her mostly as Jill before
she changed her name) could keep the rhythm with the best of them. Her
Caribbean heritage also added greatly to her style.
When Laurie and I go to our home church of
MorningStar in Fort Mill, SC every Sunday and for conferences, my heart is so
blessed to see the young kids give it their all on the drums. Their passion for
the Lord is so contagious, as I see them play with boldness and immense
strength. For hours on end I think, some of them could go on and on and on.
Little energizer bunnies.
You know why I believe the Lord loves
drummers so much? Because as hard as His heart beats for the nations, I can see
His expression of that love come through them as they share their talent and
skill with the church body. Whether it is playing a soft, gentle love song, or
a steady, warring anthem, these men, women and kids come to play their finest
for the King.
Be it a little drummer boy or a mature
man, full of wisdom and sensitivity to the moving of the Holy Spirit in their
movements, God is so blessed by their expression of love for Him.
Keep on drumming guys! You serve the great
King of kings, Commander of the Armies of Heaven, and soon returning Messiah,
full of glory and song.
You have truly been a joy to team with,
and now a joy to watch and worship alongside, for the glory of the Lord God of
Israel.
Thank you my friends,
