I have always thought that the Monkees were under-appreciated as a group. They sold an incredible number of records in their heyday. In addition to that, several of the Monkees’ hit songs have stood the test of time, still being heard on the radio today.

Now, believe it or not, the Monkees are having a resurgence. The surviving members of the group have released a new album that is selling well. Their new songs are on the radio, and they are touring once again—50 years after they first burst onto the music scene!

That is some kind of staying power!

That’s what we should strive for as followers of Jesus—to make a difference, and to do so for a long, long time!

“That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither—whatever they do prospers.”—Psalm 1:3.

Hey, hey we’re the Christians…!
