In his solo work, Webb has written a series of albums in which he wrestles with issues that are, frankly, too controversial for the syrupy sweet holy huddle which passes for Christian radio these days. He tackles themes like opposing heresy, struggling with financial idolatry, and, in this short but powerful song, our tendency to trust national politics more than we trust in the sovereignty of Jesus Christ. The footage below is from a concert last december. Enjoy!

But he ignores the most basic right -- the right of the unborn to be born. Webb is a leftist hack. I can no longer listen to he or Caedmon's Call in good conscious.
