Life is Dynamite

-

I recently released a video reviewing the song Dynamite and went pretty hard on the line Life is dynamite.

I want to backtrack a little bit and look at what it means for us if life is dynamite, in a good way. In this case it really does show us that you think life is going great. Think of your best day or even hour and how amazing it felt. Now remember that there is something far better coming.

Jesus describes heaven as simply “Paradise” in Luke 23:43. Realistically, this is something completely unfathomable to us. Whatever paradise is to you multiply it by thousands. It will be unlike anything we could ever experience here on earth.

We will have direct connection with God and He has already taken away all the pain. Let’s take a look at Revelation 21:4 He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.”

There will be nothing left to morn. He has Risen! He has conquered death so you can be with Him in a place without pain. He took on all the pain in the world to do it. Died a brutal death for our sake. Left the world sad and confused to rise again.

He did it for you. He did it because He loves you. It’s time to turn to Him and live a life that shows that love to others.

More Than Words - Extreme | Lyric Analysis

Last week I released a video on the song Shy Away and I talked about the idea that you can use something other than words to say I love you. To me this brings to mind the song More than Words by Extreme. So let’s take a look at that. Verse 1 Saying "I love you" Is not the words I want to hear from you It's not that I want you Not to say, but if you only knew How easy it would be to show me how you feel More than words is all you have to do to make it real Then you wouldn't have to say that you love me 'Cause I'd already know This verse does feel a little disconnected but overall the point is made. The singer desires to feel the love and saying it is fine but actions speak a little louder than words. The point here is that it is easy to show that love and as the love is shown you don’t have to say I love you as often. The Chorus has two parts. What would you do if my heart was torn in two? More than words to show you feel That your love for...

Why Think

-

I personally believe you should think about anything before you do it. If you find yourself doing it simply because someone told you to then that is not good enough. I also believe that you shouldn’t ask anyone to do anything without explaining why to them. You are free to do what you want but let’s look at some reason that singing should not be simply repeating other things. First, let’s define singing. Dictionary.com gives us the definition as a verb of to utter words or sounds in succession with musical modulations of the voice; vocalize melodically. I personally like the definition given in The Music Man where singing is simply defined as sustained talking. Are you held responsible for the words you say? Have you ever said something and then regretted it? If singing is simply talking then the same concepts apply. Words have meaning and consequences. And it is not uncommon to hear someone tell someone else to think before you speak, so why is singing any different? ...
