I will not pass judgement on anyone (it's not our place anyway), and I won't come to any conclusions until I see what 2008 brings.

Because things aren't always what they seem. Sometimes certain individuals look like the villians and others come out looking like a rose, and that can be decieving! Unfortunatly this is an all too common tale amoung gospel quartets. When one takes into consideration the sacrifices they must make that alot of us don’t see, like the amount of time these individuals must spend on the road and away from thier families, or the stress of driving all night to make it to an appointment, booking dates or maintaining a reliable sorce of transportation….ect. or just the fact that they have to spend so much time together in such close quarters it’s a wonder that this doesn’t happen more often than it does. Sometimes these things can end on a peacful note where everyone comes to an agreement, and other times, saddly this is not the case. In either situation those who minister all need our prayers and support, that includes those who minister in song. This is indeed a minstry, and it’s the enemy’s job to make sure things like this happen, as with any relationship. Sometimes people may act hastily because of this or that, and say or do things that aren’t so easy to take back….. It’s hard to find the humilty to say I’m sorry, I was wrong, or lets try to work thru this. Sometimes, it’s easier just to start all over. That’s why there are so many marriages that end in divorce. I think that just might be what happens alot of times in gospel music as well. But rest assured what ever information we receive, we will never know all the details involved in each situation. That is why we should all be encouraged to continue to lift each other up in prayer, because as fellow christians, sometimes this is the most important, yet most often neglected thing we can do for each other. We would all do well to take into consideration the words of the song "WE WILL STAND" performed by Russ Taff, I think that says it all!

The weird thing is that they have gone for months at a time as a trio in between bass singers, so that would seem possible. Obviously, though, that is impossible if the group indeed disbands.

Christian was no longer with the group either just before or after the change in booking agents, I forget. Not to speculate but if Christian left on bad terms (press release verbage was "Effective immediately, Christian Davis is no longer the bass vocalist for Mercy’s Mark") it would only make sense to not have his father doing the dates for the group anymore.
