Welcome to the new davidbaroni.com!
This space is set apart to share some of my thoughts with you, my cyber friends, on a weekly or bi-weekly basis.
It’s a new year, a new day in the Spirit of God, a new season for the Baroni family and ministry, I have new songs overflowing in my heart! Can you discern that one of the operative words here is “new�
One of my favorite verses in the New (there’s that word again) Testament is Matthew 13:52:
And He (Jesus) said to them, “Therefore every scribe who has become a disciple of the kingdom of heaven is like a head of a household who brings forth out his household, treasures both old and new.†(NAS)
This scripture is loaded!
I won’t take this time and place to go into all of it, suffice it for now to say that a key word for me lately, besides the word “new†is the word “balanceâ€. Along with the exciting new things of the kingdom, there are the old tried and true treasures of God that we would be wise to hold onto as we embrace the new.
I love making new friends, but when I am really in need of a listening ear and an understanding heart, there is nothing like calling a tried and true old friend.
I love new songs (and there will be many on this web-site)! There are those times, however, that I have to sit down at the piano and sing “It Is Well With My Soulâ€.
So here’s to new beginnings and old friends, a new web-site and the continuance of old friendships. A new start down an old path.
Stay tuned!
Love in Him,
David Baroni

I belong to Sunset Church of God on Tarboro, NC- aka Ricky Freeman. You have been there many times over the years and I have thoroughly enjoyed your worship services and CD’s.
This morning 2/12/06- my family out of town. I decided to attend a church near my house with a friend. She called at 9 am and said she was sick and didn’t want to go. I thought- hmmm I can go back to sleep, drive to Tarboro or….. so I looked up times for Faith and Victory just down from my home in Winterville and at 9:45 decided to go to that church this morning.
It was with great surprise and blessing to read in the bulletin that you would be performing at the morning worship. It was like already having a friend at the service. It meant alot to be at a different church yet feel at home with you there. It was a joy again to hear your songs and worship with you. Thank you and have a blessed trip home.

I just gotta add my two cents here in the beginning days of this new beginning for the Baroni’s.
Let me start by saying one of the topics I’d like to see addressed is the incredible lake of appreciation for trumpet players. It’s hard work puckerin’ and buzzin’ and blowin’ and breathin’. I think David Baroni needs to utilize more brass, especially trumpets, if he expects to see God move. Unless and until he does he’s dancing on thin ice and will likely wind up writing jingles for stores like Big Lots and K-mart.
NOT!!!!!!!
I’m a friend of and fellow-struggler/victorious-warrior with David. Can’t count the times God spoke and sung to me through him. Some turned out to be absolutely defining moments in my life. I hope many, many, many, many people who’ve not yet heard him find him through this site. And that this blog becomes a blessing to all who pass through.
I love you David and so appreciate you and Rita and the grace you’ve shown to me. I have no doubt but that God IS going to move in fresh and powerful ways upon and through you in the days ahead. Even if you don’t use horns
…
“Keep the Flame Burning” as you celebrate, demonstrate and proclaim “His Grace” knowing that “Real Life” begins, continues and concludes in the awareness that “Jesus Is Our Promised Land!”

Dan, you are a mess! and a friend
(Trumpets are cool by the way!)
By the way, I would love to do some jingles for Big Lots and K-Mart!
Thanks for your friendship and encouragement

I just wanted to drop my line in and let everyone know that the reason EME Ministries (which I serve as Field Director) is hooking up with David Baroni (and friends) for the production of this new Worship in Mission CD is two-fold, and both important.
1) David is a great friend. Who better to work with than someone you know, love, appreciate and can count on to represent your relationship well?
2) Because David is a gifted and prophetic worshipper. As others have pointed out, David’s songs have meant much to many of us– often at critical times. He has a heart for the nations– a prerequisite for this work– and a desire to see the world impacted not just through “worship”, but through the Lord’s very blatant love stretched out through the media of song and utterance. We feel he is a great match for the ministry.
We asked David to produce something that would contain songs that any church or group or organization could pick up and draw out their “theme song” for any missions event. He has stated things well in his blog, so I’ll not linger the thought.
Blessings, David! And here’s lifting a voice in prayer that EVERYONE within earshot, or sight as the case may be for the web, will get ahold of this new project and join the mission!
