Everywhere You Go You Shout It

On February 2, U2's Bono addressed President Bush and others at the annual National Prayer Breakfast. In his speech he called America and the world to aid Africa, to fight poverty. You can read his speech here. U2's music has always been spiritual, and these days more than ever they, Bono specifically, are using their clout to call the world to action. I think it's very cool.

I have always wondered just how Christian U2 is. It is evident that they are very much followers of Christ, with hearts reflecting his love for the poor.

In 1999, Bono wrote an introduction to a pocket version of the Psalms. You can read his introduction, which I highly recommend, here. If you'd like to take a look at the many scriptural references in U2s catalog, go here. And lastly, if you would like to read more about U2's spirituality, check out this blog.

"Everywhere you go you shout it. You don't have to be shy about it."

That's from the song Original of the Species off of U2's How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb album. For too long we've kept our love under control, but now we need to show our soul. Everywhere we go, we shout it, we shout Christ's love for the world, glorifying him by sharing the stamp of originality he has placed in each of our hearts.

Love, man, that's how you dismantle an atomic bomb.
